The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

If they want the car, they will just break in, wake you up and force you to give them the keys anyway.

OP, very sorry to hear about that.

Is it worth the risk though..?

I'd rather they took my car and I never saw it again than be battered with a baseball bat and them still take my car and I never see it again...

Last I heard the police were recommending not hiding the keys - obviously don't leave them where they can be hooked from the letter box...

Sorry to hear that.  Did they steal the keys without the occupants of the house knowing or was it a forced robbery?
