    I have found a source of "free" holden spare parts: my car.

    This morning, it was raining and when I hopped into my car, I noticed that my wiper blades were no longer there. I can add those to my aerial and wheel centre cap that have previously just disappeared.

    $90, $40 and $50 later, I am quote cheesed off unquote. That includes with the local dealer spare parts, who have not shown anything resembling sympathy during my unscheduled visits.

    Not good is it. Apparently a good place to get a GPS and cash is from my car parked in the carport.

    a while ago,people that were parking their cars at the local train sation carpark were having their wiper blades stolen for a laugh so when they would turn them on,it would cut into their windscreen... pretty sure it was kids doing it

    OK then, get a trunk monkey instead, that's the best way to deal with A holes like these.

    But really, how far would you drive to steal a set of wiper blades ? not far probably, so chances are these clowns don't live too far away.

    A couple years ago someone stole my aunts old car. They took it and dumped it in the next street, minus the steering wheel. There was no other damage done to the car. We all had to laugh, well except for her.

    They did it again yesterday, eleven days after the first episode. My wiper blades have been pinched again.

    Must be time for a monitoring camera.

    makes you wonder why, wiper blades are only worth what $5-$6 maybe. Maybe someone has a vendetta against you :D

    Try $90 genuine from Holden, and $70 at Autobarn ($56 with 20% off).
