The resort in question here is Serre Chevalier, but i would like to say that its my hunch that whoever did it wasn't from the resort itself. Turns out a load of other cars around the village all had their wing mirrors torn off, don't think any others were ransacked, but then they probably couldn't carry much else after emptying the van. Couldnt even carry the alcohol, they left that in the snow.
Best bet is that it was no hope, chav scum teens from Briançon out on a drunken bender. I'm a believer in karma so i'm sure they'll get what's coming to them eventually.
The trip so far has been amazing and to be honest, even this happening hasn't put a downer on it. We are both fine and having a right laugh regardless.
Massive thanks to everyone involved in helping us find somewhere to get the glass, its a very reassuring feeling knowing that even when far far from home there's always help not too far away. Harriet has asked me to express her personal thanks to you all and I owe you all a beer or ten. Really, we don't know how to thank you all enough.
Oorwullie, you never know, i 'might' even pop by and take that towbar off you......if i'm not completely skint by the time we leave here. Ive been eyeing it up on a few occasions
Toomanytoys, thanks for your messages etc, and making the connection that solved things, much appreciated!
