So, my clever clogs mechanic decided to leave my car parked on a random side road for a couple of weeks while he palmed me off saying 'i'll get around to your car tomorrow/the day after' etc (for a brake line and fluid flush job), an opportunist must have seen my pretty/mint looking car abandoned and thought "hmm...looks tidy...roof looks fresh...i've been looking for a nice roof module..."
So low and behold, last night I was walking to the gym and walked past my car....to see the driver door ajar. No sign of forced entry, the locks and roof appear to be fine....i noticed my red roof operating switch missing on the centre dash and then my heart sunk when I saw the back seats unsettled. I lifted the rear seat bench and yep....they stole the roof module. The ultra rare as hens teeth module which now pretty much renders my car worthless until a working replacement can be sourced.
I'm from West London, so if anybody hears of a module for sale on the black market, it might well be mine. But I suspect we wont see the module for sale, it was most likely stolen to specifically repair and add value to a W124 cabrio which had a defective module and to bring that car from worthless to around 10k....of which now mine has become somewhat worthless.
Rant over
