Really feel for you mate. Been there, got the t-shirt and never got any justice....

At the end of the day they're not even scum.... and what goes around comes around

That repair bill sucks but don't let it put you off motoring with such a nice car otherwise they win  :wink:

Word on the street is all the missing units are going abroad and being re-coded. I did look on eBay to see if any were for sale locally and the majority were for sale in Lithuania. Found this quite strange...do they crash more audis and vw's out there which end up getting broken up for spares??? I think not. Opinions and justifications are welcome but I would suggest a complete boycott from buying foreign rns510's because at the end of the day if you are retro fitting an rns and buy it from Lithuania you may save yourself a few £'s to start with but if my source is correct then you are only encouraging the thieving scumbags to steal more and more sat navs, and u never know it may just be yours that they steal next!

I am very lucky in this respect i live in a small cul de sac in a tiny village so don't ever have any problems, our cul de sac is so hidden people who have lived in the village for years still struggle to find it  :cool:

Me too,but it didn't stop the t wats travelling 35 miles from Wolverhampton to break into my house and steal the car in broad daylight  :wink: :angry:

To say every unit that gets stolen is sent to eastern Europe is abit far fetched, the vast majority of people who break into cars are crackheads or junkies, to say they have contacts in Europe to decode them is abit far fetched, most likely your unit got swapped for a rock or a wrap of ssome class A

Couldn't agree more with this, I doubt organised crime is to blame for this.

The Hunt for Gene ( :wink:) is correct, an organised crime team would have wanted the vehicle itself.

Just read this post. Really sorry to hear this mate. It's the first time I've seen a OEM radio break in. Might have been done to order...

The amateur attempt at entry is also a giveaway.

The damage to the wing mirror housing and B pillar trim is where they have inserted a screw driver and then levered the glass to stress fracture it.

Professionals would have likely been using an automatic centre punch
