The safe company owner, whose car was fitted with a tracker to avoid theft, found both driver and passenger doors missing, along with both front seats and all four wheels, leaving the car stood on bricks.
Both the bonnet and boot lid were taken, with the thieves even taking some sweets Mr Hampton had stashed in his central console.
The criminals had attempted to remove the back seats which were badly damaged, and appeared to have been disturbed whilst trying prize off the front bumper and lights.
Mr Hampton said: When I stepped outside the front door, I just couldn t believe what I was seeing. They hadn t damaged any panels, it s just been stripped bare.
