Mine was stolen in the early hours of last Thursday.Broke into the house and took the keys.I have,nt heard a thing yet from the police but I reckon they are on their toes..I'm unsure if I want it back if they find it.I ordered that car,it was made for me and maybe its a bit anal but somebody else has soiled it.The "new owners" are in for a shock because the race map was turned on and the only guy who can put it back to standard is me.. :laugh:

I'm happy you got yours back and understand your reluctance to carry on as if nothing has happened.

Gulf    :cry:

Oh how awful for you Alan. So, so sorry to hear this.  :cry:
Personally, I would not want mine back as it would never feel the same, bring back bad memories constantly and its resale value will be badly affected.
What a world we live in, eh?  Stinks. :sick:

I think you may be a little on edge due to what has happened Simon, which is why you are thinking like that.

I had my sat nav stolen from the car a few years ago when I was up in Manchester. They also took a set of keys (for a house I was working at). The Police told me that they will look up the home address in the sat nav, then go and help themselves to the stuff from the house knowing that the owners are away.

In my case, they probably couldn't be bothered to make the 180 mile round trip, but it had me paranoid for months wondering if someone was going to try that set of keys in my front door.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I wouldn't be surprised! People should not disclose their exact location or show their plates for this very reason :undecided:

HAHA ! I was just about to say the same thing. I actually changed my exact location to something a bit more vague for this exact reason.
