Hehe, I read AlanD's reply as "Buggary" :s
It was theft from an employer. Seriously, don't get caught

It will roughly halve the number of places that will give you insurance. Motoring conviction or not. I am paying about £150 over the best offer I could get without the conviction. I didn't get any prison time, but was 200 hours community service and some other bits. Best bit was, I had a job within a few weeks from a competitor company

I even had some guy having a go at me from one insurance company

"What did you do that for?" etc. None of his bloody business tho. Meant that I couldn't get the 1 day free insurance from them to get the car home, so had to faff around with my existing company to get the 1 day cover added to my normal cover for my old car.
It is a 2.0 Gti Mk3 btw.
