After all the talk and warnings of our LO about me not displaying door signs when im not working because i was concerned it's an invite for someone who thinks cash could be inside, i've been broken into.
Nothing taken but i've had to have a new passenger window fitted.
Gutted! :cry:

Would they not have known it was a taxi by your plates which display your private hire licence number on the rear of the car anyway.

Not good. :sad:

Let's hope the smack head cut his wrist on the glass, and/or that Sheffield copper nicks him. :D

Of course they could, but it's nowhere near as obvious as having door signs on, especially when parked amonst oter cars in a line.

We are allowed magnectic signs and magnectic plates.
So generally we are safe from harm.
Of course living in a very nice area also helps. :D

Which does beg the question what's the point of allowing mag signs if they can't be taken off? :-k

Which goes on to beg this question. How are Hackney owners supposed to cope, if a similar problem exists in their area? Do they remove the toplight? Or buy camouflage netting for their purpose built?
