Me too. Mine broke several times so I just removed it. I got so used to just reaching up under the bumper to open the bonnet that I complete forgot to tell the new owner when I sold the car!
At first I was worried as I had no idea how I was going to get around not having it working, but as soon as I found how easy it is to pull the latch I haven't bothered putting it right. Only thing is its perhaps not as graceful at the shows.
