Here are some pics of Patrick’s plane after break-in from another thread. It was parked outside.
That’s shocking! Were you parked outside?

Sadly I’m grounded at the moment, after some very clumsy thieves got into my plane while it was parked at Fairoaks, and unsuccessfully attempted to forcibly remove my entire panel, destroying lots and lots of things in the process.
I’m sorry man, that is horrible.
Patrick, what did the airport say? Do it they not have CCTV?
Very sorry to hear, Patrick. Unfortunately there is more of this happening nowadays. GA has amazingly escaped the attention of the vandals for decades… I wonder who can make use of certified avionics? They are not going into a Ford Cortina, for sure. They are going somewhere where they can be self installed.
Yes, I’m thinking similarly at the moment…
What the heck is it with these kind of stories in the UK? Makes me glad to be at a secure airport with my parking. If you cannot trust an aircraft to be safe then an airport like that is pretty much useles.
How’s the panel repair and avionics replacement coming, Patrick?
At least every now and then it pays off to be covered well … Good luck!
Alexis, yes I do, thankfully and this is covered.
