Would you want a stolen car back?

[Beardo]

Just following on from the Tracker thread...

My car was nicked over the weekend and recovered seemingly unmarked (the plod still have it mind so not checked it).

Question now is can i live with it, are they coming back for it (they seem to of done a drive past according to the CCTV) and how miserable am i gonna get !

Anyone got any advice having had a recovered car back for a while and how's it affected them?

Thanks!

I had a bad experience with a prevous car (Scooby) where I had 2 attempted break ins. Thankfully they didnt do too much damage. Even though they didnt get away with the car it made me really paranoid and so I sold the car.

To answer your question, I don't think I would want it back. But I guess if the cops find it you have to have it back. In my case they came back and had another go at the house, so it would make me think about wanting to keep the car. It worth bolstering up the security on your property if you can. I put some extra high fence panels in and a few security lights.

If you haven'y got a garage, I will sell my GTI and buy something like a debadged Skoda vRS or Leon Cupra which most 'THICK' car thieves aren't clue-up what it is!

I bought a dog since someone last tried to break in to my house.

Shame that dog is a softy---wouldn't deter any potential future break-in!

Where do you guys live that you have so many break-ins?

If my car got stolen but recovered fairly quickly with no damage then I would get over it.

If the car was never recovered then for  me it would take the shine off from owning a GTI for a while and I'd probably purchase a different car as I'm a funny bugger like that.

The fact it doesn't really matter where you live. I live a nice house, good area etc but we got burgled a few years back. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and now we have a decent house alarm and security lights etc which would have probably prevented the break-in. Ps get a safe as we'll (We mainly had jewellery stolen, most of which was irreplaceable for sentimental reasons).

NO, NO, NO.
Therefore, no tracker.

No i would not want it back.
