MK6 GTI black 5dr stolen off my drive - Gutted
« on: 13 April 2010, 18:21 »
Had it on order since Sept 09, picked it up Friday 9th April and it was gone in the early hours of Sunday morning. They entered our house (kids and us asleep upstairs) and took the keys. I am so gutted and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this! I didn't even get a chance to get a photo of the car!

Sorry to hear...  :angry:

Thats why my keys and I go to bed together. Although with young kids in the house, its probably better they just took the car and went. Items can be replaced, people can not.

Thanks guys for the words of support. You are all indeed correct, the most important thing is that knowone got hurt. The house wasn't trashed either.

Although it's just a car, words can't explain how much I wanted that thing and when it turned up in the "flesh", wow! I put 100 miles on it, bearly enough to even get a taste of the true potential. Hindsight is a wonderfull thing but note the words of R32UK and put your keys somewhere safe! I thought they'd be safe enough stowed away in a kitchen cupboard, obviously not!

Yes but if they want the car that badly they will come upstairs looking for the keys and someone Will get hurt :sad:, not worth it if you have little ones in the house,

Sad but true, if they went to the extent of going through your kitchen cupboards they wouldn't have throught twice about coming upstairs.  In this situation, unless you sleep with a shotgun under your pillow, they are always going to have the element of surprise and you're most likely going to get hurt.

House alarm / rottweiler FTW.

Gutted for you mate  :sad:

This makes very sad reading. Very sorry to hear this, it does make my blood boil! But as already expressed, better to leave the keys downstairs so no one get hurts.

Hope the scumbags are caught quickly!
