If your house is unlocked they wont (saw this on traffic cops the other night). If you leave your house unlocked then you deserve to have your car knicked.

Shotguns should be legal...they would think twice about breaking in then, sh!theads.
The problem is all they'd do is up the ante and bring in automated weapons and the like. Then you'd be killed and still have your car stolen.


Globalisation is the future and I think that criminal punishments should be outsourced... maybe thieves like the one who took your car would think twice if they were shipped off to say... Saudi Arabia, for some proper punishment  :grin: :grin: :grin:.

At any rate, they wouldn't - literally - be able to do it again..  :angry:
I'd happily bring back capital punishment. I don't agree with Arabia or Taliban laws but I do agree with the way they punish criminals. Thieves get their hands chopped off.

Worrying that the post showing how sweet your car is, was only posted at the end of march.

Hopefully it is a coincidence and they didn't get your plate  from the pictures.

Glad everyone is okay, hope everything gets sorted right for you soon.

This is becoming all too frequent an occurrence. :cry:

A reminder to those who have Revo and a Select Plus switch - you can disable your car when you park it up for the night. So even if the thieves break in and get your keys they won't be able to move the car. The engine starts, but the accelerator pedal is disabled, so when they put it in gear and try to drive it, the car won't move and eventually stalls. A great feature, but I'm guilty of not using it as often as I should because it is a bit of extra hassle having to enable and disable the car with the switch. :embarassed:

So they come back in and smash your families face in until you unlock it, or smash the car up for screwing them over....worth it?

its quite a popular thing two in one burglarys, as people always leve their car keys close to the front door, sorry im a police officer(and no not a traffic cop) always take your keys upstairs as they sometimes use metal road to take keys through letter boxes.
if you have locked your door your insurance will pay out.
good luck mate.
