Broke in to the house through the back door. Went through all the drawers downstairs until they found the keys. We didn't know anything until morning which is a good thing as our 4 month old son was asleep upstairs.

We're in Bury, Lancashire should anyone want to be vigilant for their cars.

Ugh! My Mk6 went in south Manchester in February this year in similar circumstances so I know how you feel. GMP were great, eventually found it on false plates and are currently trying to prosecute several people so I hope you get the same response from them.

Greenmount. That was me.

I've had 4 gti with no problems at all over the years. Think that'll be me done now.

I'm really gutted for you.Over the years I've admired your previous GtI's from afar as I'm always passing your house.I live a cockstride away from you.
At least you were unaware if they are prepared to enter a house anything could have happened.

As everyone here will be thinking and as already said, at least they didn't disturb you (more luck than anything I guess).
You're bound to feel really down for a long time and it goes without saying family safety comes first, but hopefully you'll bounce back and sooner or later you'll have another nice GTI (or closely related model) again.
Fingers crossed they catch the low lifes and they get more than a rap across the knuckles.

Thanks AndyG. Always tried to keep them looking good.

As you said, just glad that nobody was hurt. That's the main thing.

GMP told me that Gti and R are high on their stolen list because they're too fast to catch!

Gitsy, good to hear about the service from GMP. All fingerprints done already. Can't fault them. Fingers crossed they find mine too.

Exonian, you are right. It's only a piece of metal. Family always comes first. Thing is, I always wanted a gti from being a kid and when you get one...
