I couldn't agree more with what you have said the standards of everything in this country have sadly slipped. We have enough problems with our own lazy sh!ts without looking after half of europes as well bag em up put em on the nearest boat and send them packing

Agree!! I'm seriously considering pricing up a tracker for my car! they already ask if it has a tracker on the insurance quotation, it's only a matter of time before insurance companies will be refusing to insure such cars for not having one fitted!

Sad world we live in isn't it. Sad that the hard working citizens of this world can't have decent stuff without some lowlife scroat nicking it. Makes me f**kin angry!!

spent most of today filling out forms, talking to insurance companies, for home and car! taking photos ....

not sure how long things will take, but they have stated that i could have a direct new car, so a brand new gtd back on the drive...im seriously considering saying no.

loved the car, but i could potential become another target! takes the p1ss that you cant have anything nice without the fear of some scrote taking it...

we should employ the south African alarm systems!! bring on the flames and scythes!

One deterrent would be some form of remote immobiliser that deadlocked the doors coupled with smash proof glass.
Now that would be fun.

Would a dummy VW key fob sitting downstairs work? They smash the window grab the keys and run to the car. Would they really come back into the house as I'd imagine the owner would be stirred enough to get up and look outside and possibly have phoned the police by this time?

Or would that just annoy them more?

It's so sad that these thieving little sh1ts have left you and your family feeling unsafe in your own home and questioning whether it's worth having a nice car you can be proud of without living in fear of them coming back again.

What happened to you was my biggest fear when choosing a GTD because every wannabe gangster's choice of ride these days appears to be a stolen sporty Golf or A3 and from what I've heard they tend to target the type of home a young family lives in as those people are least likely to put up a fight over possessions.

Having any type of tracker on the car won't stop these ba5tards as they know the worst that will happen if they do get caught is a tiny fine they will never pay and points on a license they don't have!!

Sorry to hear about your experience!  :angry:

May I ask as to whereabouts in cheshire please? PM if you'd prefer?  :smiley:

We had 2 attempts on our car last year, the last one culminating in them coming in via the smashed patio door glass at 1pm whilst my wife and son were home...

Don't know about you but the last thing I would want is them coming back into the house looking for trouble because I'd been a wise guy trying to protect a company car with fake keys!! As much as I love my car it's just not that important!

I also wondered where about in Cheshire this crime happened if you don't mind saying?
