MK6 GTI black 5dr stolen off my drive - Gutted

[Tone2have]

These posts just keep comin and we really do appreciate your support and concern for the kids and us as a family. I would have loved to have took the kids along to and owners club meeting in the near future. Sadly that might now be the back end of summer before we can really consider ourselves as being a fully fledged member of the GTI owners club.

I've given up chasin GTI's up and down the A1 now. I did gave the police a verbal kickin today as they still haven't spoken to the only witness!!

No good on the gap insurance, we didn't take this option. I will be ordering another GTI though once the insurance is sorted out. I looked at A3 "black" last night and a couple of other's but they just ain't the same!     

It seems that there just aren't that many black GTI's around which I spose is why mine got nicked, does that ring true?? All the post's I read, you guy's seem to have gone for the new black (i.e. white) or red colour option. What is it with black? There are loads of black GT/GTD's on the road. Am I missin something??

I cannot imagine what you must be going through.
Hope you can find a black one soon.
How about covering it with film so that it looks like 'silk black'.
Mercedes are doing this now.
Just a suggestion.
Take care.

Still shocked about this.


Mine's black.

The alarm went off at 4am last night. No one around but went out for a look anyway armed able to use 'reasonable force'.

All OK. On checking in the daylight it may have been the boot wasn't closed properly or maybe a cat jumping on it...

I'm sleeping with my keys from now on.

Some car crime TV programme the other week with Trevor McDonald mentioned the Golf GTI to be
the criminals 'car of choice'  for fast getaways.


Still considering the Tracker....

I am seeing my dealer tomorrow to discuss this very thing + the hosing down!

Hindsight is a wonderfull thing but you should seriously consider the tracker. I'll be takin this option next time!

Tonights going to be tough, we are all stuggling to sleep in one way or another. But for me (and I can sense from my wifes actions), we are going to find tonight particularly difficult.

I can't imagine for a minute that the scumbags who nicked my car are reading this but if they are I I'd just like to ask if they'd like to meet up any time so I can thank them close up and personal for the fear they've put into my wife and my 7 year olds sons head! Cheers you wan^^&s!

By the way, if you any of you guys are down in the A1 area and see a red MK5 GT staring and flashing you, that'll be me! Just checkin honest, can't help it - loved that car!

Parts guy quoted me £400 and showed very little interest in my questions! Dickhead!

A one that does GPS and radio signal tracking and auto alert that also allows you to track it yourself like a mobile phone GPS signal imo.

Really sorry to read about your loss Tone.  I'd be gutted, but thankfully your family are safe and your insurance will cover it.  It's just the time involved with getting a replacement!  Black GTI here as well...

As i'm recovering from a spinal op, my car is stuck on my drive with a cover over it, and reading this has made me very concerned.  On my old Golf's, whenever I parked up in a dodgy area, or left them for any length of time, I used to pull the Coil lead off and take the fuel pump relay out the fusebox and take them with me in my pocket.  I think I'll get my mate round to do the same on the mk6.  Anyone know what relay it might be in the fusebox of the mk6?
