Manchester MINIs Getting Wings Clipped

United Kingdom's Manchester Evening News reports on a one night crime spree in the town of Stockport where the miscreants nicked MINI wing mirrors.  Here is what the police have to say about it:
Crescent, Cooper Street, Meadows Close and Talbot Road in Hazel Grove were left without both wing mirrors.

Police say they can be easily removed from the outside by thieves with normal tools and are urging owners to buy a £10 anti-theft kit to protect their cars.

Sergeant Richard Lloyd from Hazel Grove station said: “In one night we had a spate of thefts where six separate cars had both wing mirrors stolen.

“We hope it's a one-off, but there are people out there out of pocket – we want to catch those involved.

“Apparently the problem is that they can be easily removed from the outside with normal tools.

“Mini sells a kit which allows you to the change the screws to protect the wing mirrors.” . . .
