My passenger door is dented twice above the handle and paint has come off on the b pillar.

The door seems bent at the top as the gap at the top is wider than the drivers side. Water is getting past the rubber seal and has soaked the passenger seat.

Fucks sake

Why can't people leave stuff alone FFS

Seems common to try and bend the top of the door.

That's all they did was dent it and bend it. No smashed glass or lock damage.....

Most people dont use tools for it, knee on the bottom of B pillar, fingers in top of frame and pull like fuck. Get loads of cars at my work broken into like that, not just B's

That makes sense, as there are 2 dents above the handle and a massive gap at the top. BASTARDS

quite a common move in the bodywork trade tbh, to twist franes etc, just not as much as thiefs tend too

My Dad had a Ford Grandad years ago and it was broken into like this. They did both doors on one side. Bastards got 2 leather jackets out the boot and a Hammer

why do they bend the door though, do they bend it a certain amount and then use a tool to open the door? doesn't the glass from the window stop them bending it to far?

I'm guessing they only do it on Cars that don't have deadlocks, they do it so they can unlock the door I think. Easily done I guess.

It's wierd though, I swear my Dads Granada would of had deadlocks. hmmm not on the rear doors maybe, thats probably why they ben front and back door

You'd prefer if they did anything just to smash the glass and then all you need is a new window

exactly, thinking about the number they've done on my car. I'll need a new door

As it is bent inside the car aswell as outside. Managed to bend it back enough to stop rain getting in, that will do for now.

The idea is to bend the top of the door open enough to reach the door pin to unlock the door, but on deadlocked cars this is useless
and if you bend it too much the glass breaks anyway...

Would be easier if we could just hook up 10,000 volts to the body of the car when we leave it, however, this is illegal as the thieving cunts could get hurt while breaking into your car!!
