So, they left the gates open, an accessible window had no bars and the roller shutter wasn't properly secured. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but mini sport have to accept some of the blame. Their insurance is likely to take a dim view of the insecurity too.

Robbing bastards. That looks like a lot of stuff to shift on. Can imagine it would be obvious when a load of parts start appearing on eBay and such.

They may have taken more if they hadn't have had a crap load of stuff at Bingley that was being sold for cash without receipts.

Even though I vowed never to buy anything from Minisport again, I only spent £11 with them at Bingley and that was on a set of brake shoes that were manufactured by Mintex, so I think I'm ok *happy*

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

leeds/wakefield.

If you think about it fellas, it doesn't take much to get away with that amount of worth on a small space, roller rockers at £300 a set , pistons,etc, all small and light

And there is Carl's take :)

TBH it did say "Engine Parts" in the article too.
