As you can see the rubber thing on the knob (no not that knob) had to go

Yep and it gets better. Basically the story is I parked the astina outside hte mechanics workshop (not on his porperty so no insurance from him) and it got broken into over night. They samshed the rear window, cracked the winscreen and put a deep nick in the paint. they didnt touch the radio (only a stock one but sitll) or all the boats next door with CB radios and cd players, but wait this is the best bit, the old saab next to it which was unlocked and had the keys in it and they didnt touch it!
