It may well be something as simple as an opportunist addict stealing something to try and finance their next fix.
I had seen the stolen TFT article in MCN so ordered a Cymarc TFT protector from
Nippy Norman's as well as a few other farkles which arrived Friday afternoon by post. I fitted the other farkles first and left the fiddly TFT job until last. I already have the Cymarc screen support brackets fitted to my bike to stabilise my aftermarket Puig screen.
I wondered if they would be 'OK together' with the TFT anti-theft device..as they use the same mounting points. I called the Cymarc telephone number on the packaging half expecting no reply because it was tea time on a Friday afternoon. To my surprise Mark Hooton immediately answered the call, I apologised that it was late and presumed they would be shut up shop and gone home. Mark said "I am at home, now how can I help" ? He was insistant even though it was tea time (but no red wine had yet been consumed).
He asked when I had purchased the screen brackets and to describe them, he advised me that my screen brackets may need a slight modification with a file, even sent me a picture message to my phone as to what area needed modifying.
I did as he suggested and it all worked just tickety-boo. Mark said anymore questions/problems don't hesitate to call with the caveat of "if it got too late the red wine may prevent him from answering the phone".
What a thoroughly decent, polite,
fertile brained, managing director, nothing is too much trouble, type of man he is. Thank you indeed Mr Hooton

Regarding all the thefts of TFT's..
I read somewhere that some components in the TFT's can be used to somehow unlock Sky boxes, making the channels free, a potential saving of £1000 per annum ! Apparently VW /AUDI built in car sat nav's contain similar components, I don't know if it's just an urban myth ?

3 people have impressed me this weekend, and the common denominator seems to be they all came from the same area (ish) of the UK, it could be something in the water
.
1. Captain Tom..sadly whose funeral was held this weekend came from Keighley originally.
(I know they made him a Honorary Colonel, but a small, some would say childish part of me) wished he had been a 'Major Tom' like in the David Bowie song. A very impressive man. RIP
2. Jonathan Stafford Nguyen Van-Tam...(or JVT ).
the epidemiology, transmission, and vaccinolgy expert off the telly, who despite his Dutch sounding name was born in Lincolnshire. Another very impressive man, with his analogies of the virus... helping us numpties understand the basics of exactly 'where we are at'.
3. Mark Hooton of Cymarc from Scunthorpe.. Another very impressive intelligent helpful man.
Which brings me nicely to my final childish question...people of a certain age may well remember an advert on TV from the 1980's that used to say " Typhoo put the 'T' in Britain"
. which begs the question....so who put the '****' in Scunthorpe... answers on a postcard to UKGSers.
