Just browsing through ebay and found this - if we can all be vigilant and keep an eye out - I certainly will,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-GTI-EDITION-30_W0QQitemZ270311719444QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item270311719444&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
Poor guy, I admire his determination.

good luck
-
does it sound like he left the keys in the car ie cant claim on his insurance.
-
I hope this guy catches the wee scroat....love his use of ebay for this, I didn't realise that people used it in that way. Fantastic.
Anyone in the Enfield area ? keep your eyes peeled.
-
very neat idea
someone WILL recognise this twit, and i hope he gets what he is due :angry:, plus the safe return of the guys ED30
-
Bookmarked. I shall be on the lookout for this one - really feel for the fella!
-
im in the Area and i know the petrol station in wormley.. I feel for the Man my eyes are peeled!
-

Or he wouldn't be going to these lengths to get it back. :embarassed:
-
What an idiot! the guy that robbed it i mean!
-
Must have left the keys in the car for him to get it...not sying its his fault because nobody has the right to take anything in the first place :sad:
Someone attempted to steal mine but got sh!t all, got the keys to my dads but didnt know how to start it lol.
-
Frustrating - and i feel really sad for this lad, but serves as a timely reminder to all of us - eh?
Modern cars are not so easy to nick without keys - on the other hand I'd rather hand over my keys under duress than end up as a sad statistic on the BBC as another posthumous 'have-a-go' hero?
It's a bastard world at times. (I actually typed b*stard there :) )
-
Cant see him ever getting the car back to be honest, will be stripped down or sold on to do a job in by now.
Such a shame, dont see what people are thinking when they jump into someones car..what gives them the right...thing is the law will just give him a light sentence and a slap on the wrist if they ever do catch him.
-
Maybe move this to the General VW related chat??
The more people that are aware of the situation...the better! :)
-
It hurts me to say but the car is long gone :(
Best of luck non the less.

+1 :undecided: will be in bits by now probably :sad:

I doubt it, he's taken it as the opportunity arose and he's a slaggy thief, I imagine he took it for a joyride and now has a pricey motor in his garage and doesn't know where to sell it on to.

Agreed - if he was a pro he wouldn't have had his mug caught on CCTV.
-
good luck to him. i wouldn't want to be the thief tbh lookin at the length's this bloke is willing to go to get it back
-
Gotta admire the effort. I hope the car ends up back with his owner :smiley:.

I AM THE GUY WHO HAD HIS 2007 GTI EDITION 30 STOLEN , FIRSTLY I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THERE SUPPORT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN GREAT AND I TRULEY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT.
SECONDLY I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY A FEW POINTS, I HAVE A CAR SALES GARAGE WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE PETROL STATION WHERE MY CAR WAS STOLEN FROM. THERE IS A CAR WASH AT THE OTHER END OF THE GARAGE, MY MISS'S HAD BEEN OUT SHOPPING THAT MORNING, ON HER WAY HOME SHE DECIDED TO GET THE CAR CLEANED, THE KEYS WHERE GIVEN TO THE CAR WASH GARAGE, MY MISS'S THEN WALKED OVER TO MY SITE TO SEE ME, UNFORTUNATLEY I WAS NOT THERE, WHILST THEY WHERE CLEANING THE CAR, OR SHOULD I SAY LEATHERING IT DOWN, THE THIEF JUMPED INTO THE CAR AND DROVE OFF.
THE CAR WASH HAVE INSURANCE AND OUR CLAIM IS GOING THROUGH NOW.
THE REASON I WILL NOT STOP UNTILL I FIND THIS GUY AND HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED, IS BECAUSE HOW MANY OTHER CARS WILL HE STEAL, WHY SHOULD THEY GET AWAY WITH IT WHILST HARD WORKING PEOPLE STICK IT OUT AND WORK THROUGH THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES, IF WE SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE AND AS IF WE NEED THEM WORSE THAN WHAT IT IS TODAY.
ANYWAY THATS JUST MY VIEW AND I WILL NEVER EVER JUST SIT BACK AND TAKE IT, NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TOO.
ONCE AGAIN THANK YOUTO ALL THAT HAVE GIVEN ME THERE SUPPORT IT IS TRUELY APPRECIATED.

The tw@t :angry:
Keep up the pressure Alex until you find him and then shaft/shame him for the rest of his natural....................................
Perish the thought that someone posts his details on the web and he can then be a virtual target for us all :rolleyes:

keep your eyes open on ebaymotors or adtrader for a suspiciously cheap ed30...or dare I say it (parts from one :cry: )....sorry mate I know you must be hurting. Please keep us all up to date. Surely someone will know the little btard, you have a pretty good image of his face. Local pubs etc, it does sound opportunist and he may just have used it as transport home or close to his home, are there any scummy areas in the vicinity? have a scout around where logically some wee sh!te like this would live....my wife had her car several years ago and I used that logic to actually find the car myself! Its a long shot pal, but you just never know....
best of luck

Good luck with the hunt for the culrpit Alex..... I admire your determination.
Someone must know the muppet who stole this car as your CCTV pics are really good quality - get them into the national press if you can??
I have also posted this over on www.tyresmoke.net to keep the visibility high.

Topic set sticky.
I grew up in that area... hope you make some progress.

I think the eBay add has been pulled now.

Posted it over on AON aswel, hell of alot of users on there..best of luck.
-
Only problem is that this will no doubt be sold or driving around on cloned plates. Does it have ant distingusing marks/mods that could help it stand out from the other white ED30's out there, which there seem to be quite alot of??
Im on the look out :angry: :wink:
-
any news yet....

This is really bad. Well done on putting in so much effort to get it and the thief back. We need for people like you in the world. In fact this has given me an idea for a forum Where people can declare stolen items etc. And possibly get them back. Good luck!
-
Any further news mate ?. :undecided:
-
Yeah any further news? Being thinking it would be a nice Christmas present if you found your car or even found out where it was? Hoping for the best for you mate. Let us all know..
-
i hope he`s found the theif and the car but there`s been a few edition 30 parts on ebay lately all by different users, surely there`s not been that many wrote off?
