Another Stolen Mk7 GTD Pure white Cheshire

[Anygreg]

First post.....

After googling stolen GTD I came across the forum, I actually read so much on here prior to ordering, but never registered.

As I sit here wide awake at 4 am writing this, and after our traumatic ordeal at 5am where a house brick was thrown through our kitchen window in order to steal the Keys for our beloved mk7 GTD in pure white, I thought I would add this post to make others aware of what seems to be another era of gti stealing remenicent of the late 80's and early 90's.

Words can't begin to describe the anger I have for the scumbags that commit these crimes....

So, any one in the Cheshire area that sees it or has one mysteriously appeard in a street near you please call Cheshire police....

Thanks for reading ... My sympathies to the others that have been through the similar traumatic experience!

I'm speechless.
Sub human scum.
Hopefully aside from anger and shock you're all ok.

As you say, hopefully we're not going to see another epidemic like in the bad old days that killed off hot hatches for years.
The increased insurance premiums are one thing but the agressive burglaries are something else.

Sorry to hear this about this horrendous experience.  Hope you and your family are all ok, aside from the obvious shock.

I'm sure forum members will keep their eyes peeled, though I doubt you'd want the car back after that.  Hope it isn't too painful sorting it all out.

Sorry to hear must be an awful experience

Seems to be a lot of GTD's being taken wonder if there is a reason they choose these over the GTi/R

getting common now unfortunately seen that 50 cars have been taken in a couple of weeks in Edinburgh.

Very sad hope you get it sorted.  Main thing is you and yours are alright

What was the reg plate?

So sorry to hear your news. I dread something like that happening to my family.

Again... what reg plate. I'm in Cheshire too so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

thanks for the replies

Car was on a 14 plate, but we all know the plates will have been removed long ago...

The police told me i was no8 in the area over the last 2 weeks, various high end prestige cars being taken to order...

What got me was the sound of the toughened glass windows exploding at 5am, genuinely was shocked at how loud it was. But then again in the quite of morning anything seems loud!

I was up so quick, but never caught even a glimpse of them...happened so fast.

I have no doubt the car would of been stashed on nearby housing estate down a back road locked up and left for a day or 2, then collected when the time is right. The police swarmed the area with no luck...

Insurance...going to take up to 6 weeks to sort with no hire car option or GAP insurance...this is gonna cost me, also have to pay the excess on house insurance and car! (£600)

and when these scumbags are caught and questions they give the answer 'it was insured, will cost the owner nothing!'

angry doesn't even begin to explain how i feel...other than the noise, it was the misses face/tears that cut the deepest! shes afraid in the house now!

What a bunch of thingys!! Hope they find it, but like you say, it'll be stashed away, then moved/use in a crime..it's a sad world we live in, they say hide your keys...but then you get woken with a gun in your face demanding keys!! You leave them on show so you don't have the gun in your face, they smash the window to get them...what are you to do??
