Glad to hear you found it, not in too bad of a condition.
Any ideas on how did they manage to get into it and start it?

Great news mate especially since you got your laptop back with no doubt some personal info on it.
The car you can always get rid of but at least the decision has been put back into your hands rather than some scum taking that decision from you.

At least you are master of it's destiny now.

So how does insurance work in these circumstances? Will you lose your NCN (unless protected of course) as theres no one to claim against....

Glad you got the car.
Personally, I would get rid too once repaired.

Hi Steve

Glad they found your car and hope the damage is 'cosmetic' from them moving it rather than it being in a shunt or such. (Also glad your secret hidey hole saved your MBP  :smug:)

Remember, as much as it is gutting when things like this happen, you are just a victim of circumstance and it wasn't personal. Hopefully when you assess the damage you can decide on what is best - repairing and keeping or moving it on - at least you get to decide.

Take care.
