Cheers all.
So, we’ve got home from holiday this afternoon, checked the entire house thoroughly, not a single thing was taken other than my car key. Forensics have been out this evening and it definitely sounds like a professional job targeting the car.
The police have been good and taken it much more seriously than I first thought they were, I’ve sent images to the assigned detective and they’ve issued to “on beat cops” and motorway patrol incase they spot it on false plates or parked on a side street whilst the lowlife confirm it’s not being tracked.
I am gutted truth be told, I think it’s the whole waiting for so long and the fact it can’t be replaced easily. I’ve looked at the ones on auto trader in white, I do like white and I wasn’t even sure on red when I ordered it, but red really grew on me. I’m really not sure what I’ll do yet if it’s not recovered, I’m seriously considering a cheap thrills Ford streetKA for a few months and if the second hand market settles I’ll consider something then.
I have been considering a little mk3 MR2 as a track day car for a while, it’s something I’d like to get in to, but that’d not be practical as a sole car due to the school run.
