Hey everyone,
Someone broke into Nellie (KE30) and busted up my drivers side door lock. Am majorly peeved, but just thankful nothing else was wrecked. (Didn't have a go at the ignition, didn't steal anything, didn't even mess up the interior) Which begs the question, why break in in the first place? There's a club lock which is in plain sight so unless they were going to go to the effort of getting that off...
Anyway.
Has anyone replaced the door locks in their car with spares from another, and also the ignition and boot? I currently have 4 keys for my car cos she's a bit Frankenstein after various other break ins... (1 for petrol cap, one for boot, one for ignition/doors) and it'd be nice to cut that number back to the magic One.
I called a place in Oakleigh who told me after parts, keying up, and labour it will cost me around $140. Which I guess isn't too bad, but something tells me the God of Street Parking has another break in scheduled for my car sooner or later so was tossing up the wrecker option. (hence seeing if anyone thought it was even worth considering the effort)
Discuss.
