Attempted theft of TD5 90 from Newton Le Willows, St Helens, Lancashire

Over the last year I have been catching the train from Newton Le Willows station to Manchester for 9-6 work. When I returned to the landy last Friday I found that someone had been in causing the following damage:

Bust back door and drivers side lock
Smashed steering column
Ripped wires from ignition switch
Bust ignition barrell

They hadn't removed the steering lock, I assume that was the next move after they got it started. However they didnt get it started due to not being able to find my hidden ign switch (thank god). They had flattened the battery cranking the engine though. To recover the landy I had to smash off the steering lock and hotwire to get it home. I've now replaced and fitted all the replacement parts
