i've just had my SECOND silver stubby aerial nicked off my corsa c by some thieving t**t last night when my car was parked outside my house 
since my first one was nicked - when i screwed in my second one, i superglued it in. but that didnt stop em! they just ripped out the whole bloody aerial assembly!
anyone got any ideas or tips on how i can have a aftermarket aerial wihtout it being swiped? (apart from rigging it up to my positive battery terminal?! - i already thought of that. lol)
cheers,
dan

Get yourself a Richbrook anti-theft one for £20. Give a couple of the lads on here a shout like Craig @ carnoisseur

Cover the ariel in acid so when the pikeys stick there hands round it there fingers fall off.

yeah... i had a chrome one.... but wasnt screwed in fully, instead of the twats unscrewing it off they fucking broke it off...
i need a new aerial and aerial base.... they also cos a small bent on thr roof around where the aeial base was
(all for a £12 aerial which they wouldnt be able to use cos they fucking brok it off!)

some t*** stole my aerial last night from in a car park, so now i have to get a new one from somewhere if they had money then they would not have to steal one as they would have a car to put it on.

But the whole base can just be ripped off. if it's not on dispaly they are less likely to go for it esp a £8 aerial

i like that idea - i like it a lot 
think maybe the smoothing idea is a good one
dunno what the hell i'm gonna do for now tho - as i have shit all radio reception and a bare wire trailing out of a random whole in my roof!
i'm still also liking the 12V+ aerial to give the t**ts the shock of their life - literally!
cheers for all your replies guys! any more ideas would be much appreciated!

its ok guys its all sorted - i'm personally putting through a new law which says that anyone that damages or steals from another persons motor vehicle must have their hands cut off with a pair of blunt scissors, so its all good

this was also a cunning plan which deserves some serious consideration
