How odd.
My GTI was stolen this morning.
Tealeafs broke in by snapping the cylinder lock in the back door took the keys and legged it while we were asleep (2 kids aged 2 and 4 fast asleep).
Had an interesting time using find my iPhone which they also nicked and could see where we thought they were. Plod went round and found the phone in a disused house in sheffield. Luckily, or so it might turn out to be at any rate my car was the local dealers demo and had an inactivated tracker fitted. £135 latter they activated it and found it about 2 miles from the phone.
The Police have now recovered it but I need to take my spare set of keys up to Sheffield from Nottingham so they can dust it. They aren't bothered enough in dusting it to actually come and get the keys mind.....
Anyway to answer the question yes seems worth it, no idea how I'm going to feel about it once I have the car back and find out what state it's in.
