MK6 GTI black 5dr stolen off my drive - Gutted

[PenguinGTI]

My friends got their X5 and their Porsche Boxster stolen on the same night in the same way as happened to you. The trackers on the cars enabled them to be recovered. I know how much it affected the family and can only pray for your situation.

As everyone else has said it is a blessing that no one was injured. Money is nothing compared to loved ones. (although to some of us our cars count as loved ones also).

really sorry to hear of this - i'm glad nobody was hurt in this incident

what is very sad is that you've only had this car a few days, and doubly so after you have been waiting months for it. obviously a local has seen you with it and thought 'cool car' and decided to take it.

i know in my case i just want a nice car that's a nice drive and practical and safe and can fit in with the rest of my life. however sadly i think the GTI has somewhat lost that inconspicuous look and makes it attractive to theives. i just pray if somebody comes after my car they don't hurt me or any of my family

somewhat off on a tangent but i think still quite interesting, dunno whether this has been posted anywhere else (sorry if it has), stolen cars were used againsts a jewellery shop in Bradford, one was a Focus (I understand backed up into the shop to enter the premises) and then and what I assume was a mk5 GTI used as the getaway vehicle.
Nice to know the theives prefer the power of the turbo for a getaway.

I've got the best security device of all....a rubbish car.  No one would break into my house for an 05 reg 1.6 Zafira! 

Hope all gets sorted for you.

horrendous!!  -  not the taking of the car but the fact that the b*stards were in your house, a house with sleeping children inside  -  I hope you and the family get over it and that it doesn't freak out the kids too much  -  take care.

Not good news

Had my A3 2.0 TDI S Line Quattro stolen 6 months ago, first time I have ever left keys downstairs! I have a 2 year old so was a bit worried so got crime prevention out and they fitted new locks front and rear aswell as sash locks on all windows and doors all free of charge so might be worth giving them a call!

The little s*^ts better not try for the golf!

Ps. do you think the boot in the golf is big enough to hold a pair of chavs till I get them to the moors 10 miles away

I feel sick reading this, I wouldnt know what to do if someone did this to my car. Let alone a brand new MK6 GTI.

Really sorry to hear this but glad everyone is ok.

Honestly I cant find the right words to say how sad this is. There are proper scum on this planet, and when they get caught I wouldnt jail them, I'd torture them. Cut off finger tips, slice into hands and feet with knives, stub out fags on their necks, keep them in a small protected box and keep feeding them everything that they wanted so that when they need to pish and sh!t they have to sit and sleep in it all day and night. Jail time is a luxury, I know cnuts with LCD tv's and PS3's in jail.

Anywho, I hope all is ok and you can start over again, dont let these lowlifes get you down.

Shocking. These stories worry me a bit to be honest. I can only hope that keeping the car in the garage, gates on the drive, the house alarm and the dogs will be enough of a deterrent.

As for punishment I think Kev's got it covered

I would send the turds in a time capsule to Nazi Germany or even better to Osama Bin Laden as it might be less costly, more immediate and more effective!
