At least they didn't leave it on the ground, they left it on stones and jack. What is curious is that with all CCTV and all that, nobody picked up on them. I would imagine that it took them some time to jack up the car with the crappy factory scissors jack and undo all wheels.

What is really shocking is how did they open the boot by smashing the driver's window and how did they silence the alarm? Unless the deadlock was not enabled on the car or they went through from inside the boot, I cannot see how they managed to open the boot.

LE: Has anyone noticed they also nicked the front brake calipers? Most probably PP calipers.

That'll be keyless entry then.

Just curious...what would that 'near new' one be really selling for?
£24,994

Thanks for providing the answer to my question...it goes a long way to explaing why I've never seen one over here. That sum represents more than 5 years annual salary (before tax), for the majority of people in this country!

 

And yes, it is a GTI PP so they took the calipers.


The car is on the VW USED website.  :wink:
Fancy making an offer on it?
