MK6 GTI black 5dr stolen off my drive - Gutted

[am1w]

IMO there is nothing like a virgin car. Even the ladies think so!

....that is only because we were (again) the first one in it....

It is so rare for this to happen in the Western world and it is ever so nice to produce a mechanical virgin which is fast and furious!

I disagree, America is full of that stuff....so pull out your Visa ...just google.......rubber...... sex dolls....batteries.........................  

Oh dear. I 'clean' forgot about the US of A!

to all gti members.  unfortunately the gti is the 'number 1' sought after car for car thieves.  saw it on some programme.  for all the right reasons why we all have one;  quick- quick enough to evade the cops,  practical- space for 5 of your gang, big boot for all those stolen 'gadg' (wonga),  pimped enough for them 'ladies' (chavs to u and me),  lots of storage for ya herbal remedies, some bling (alloys)......

Glad they found your car fella, that's great news. I hope theres no damage to it.

I would treat your car to a nice professional valet or something.

Hope you family is well and getting over it.

It seems to me there is no such thing as living in a nice area anymore. Until tough ( and I mean tough ) punishments are given out to those who commit any crime I'm afraid this country is only going to get worse.

All the best and I'm looking forward to seeing those pictures of your car.

Put the past behind you and give you Golf some love and fun!

Okay..............and now your message....

BTW. I hate messages like.......put it in a safe....sleep next to it.....do not make it look so nice....by a Toyota.....

Hell I even bought against the will of my boss and lease company the RNS510...in some area they steal an average of 3 to 4 RNS510 a day....I tell you I refuse to loose sleep over it and enjoying every minute of me taking risks....the extra insurance pay (huge!!) I have already forgotten

Sadly it seems that the return of the car may be a little while yet! The Pole..ee..C..ee said the car was in "good order". However upon further investigation...... it transpires that the front bumper is "scuffed" (hit something), the front alloys (shadow monza's) have been kerbed and damaged and so has the off-side tyre!

If this is what they've done to the outside/asthetics, god only knows what the engines like! I can only imagine that the inside has took a similar battering, the F^&cke$'s! This Golf GT I'm drivin is nice but not a patch on the inside of a GTI.

I gotta let the insurance do their bit now so keep the "supportive" posts comin! Thanks again for the support and can't state enough at least the damage is only to the car and not the kids!

PS if you readin Black GTI travelin across Bedford Bypass on Monday evening, yes that was me flashin at you!

Thats bloody typical, the dirty f@@king thieving scum couldn't even look after it for you.....

Oh well - I hope it gets sorted out soon and you can get back on the road and finally enjoy your new car..... Thanks for keeping us all updated.

Tone: Have you gone to see the condition of the car. I know it can be quite depressing, but it might be a good idea to see what has been 'done' to it.
You can then compose a detailed list of damage. If these are not fixed to your satisfaction, then you have it in 'black and white' and the possibility of you having a replacement might be more likely. What do you think?

[Tone2have]

My thoughts exactly am1w. The insurance got it picked up and they will give it a complete check over before "offering" it back. However if it's anything less than A1 mint condition then it will be a hard call as to which way to go. God the thought of waiting another 6 months though would be V gutting.

We went out yesterday in our other car (S-Max) for most of the day and upon returning home, my wife exclaimed "the rear door of the car (her Mk6 GTI) is open!!"

I then realised this had happened when I was transferring child seats over, and was in a hurry, in the morning. Hadn't realised that I had left the rear door open (opposite side to the S-Max, next to the fence) and the car unlocked  :embarassed:, on our drive ...  Oooops   

Thankfully, all was intact and it hadn't rained in the 6 hours we had been away ...

The wife has left her previous car (the S-Max) unlocked with the keys in the ignition, overnight, before now  :embarassed: - however given the stories on the forum, we are being a bit more careful about car security with the GTI (apart from yesterday!)
