Did you manage to purchase gap insurance on the Gtd hopefully this won't leave you out of pocket too. Making my blood boil just thinking about it

Terrible news mate gutted for you :sad:
Pretty sure I've seen it posted up on a few Facebook groups? Reg ending in rhg?

I'll keep my eyes peeled. Good thing now with Facebook is a couple of pics posted and thousands of folk know to look out for it. Seen a few times people getting them back because of this so hopefully the same for you.

That's the one.  I'm really touched how many different groups of people have shared / seen my post.

I appreciate everyone good wishes here to 👍

Re getting it back - if it was in that window where it was parked up to test for a tracker, then yes, I would want it back.

After a couple of weeks of people kicking about in it, eating, farting, smoking etc - no thanks.  It was immaculate inside - still smelled like new 😂

Private plate, winter tyres and a roof rack and bike rack should help it stand out a bit from other red ones.  They can take the roof rack off - but the bent rubber seals above the doors will give the game away for weeks to come...

We shall see.  Got to wait 6 weeks before the insurance will write it off and I can get on with sorting another car - and start trying to get my plate back.  If the car isn't recovered it's a 12 month wait till I can apply for it back - doesn't mean I will apparently.

It's all such a PITA just so some one can earn a few quid stealing it 😢

It's a company car - so no worries on that front thankfully. 👍

I haven't even got my car yet and this is stressing me out, thinking how I can protect mine.

People are scum.

Sorry to hear about this mate. I also saw it on facebook. The biggest thing is that you and your family are okay, cars can always be replaced.

Sorry to hear that your GTD was stolen. Total scumbags. I had my gti stolen in June last year. I went for a scorpion track in the end. Couple of hours to fit and about £300 I think plus subscription. Don't quote me though!!

I know exactly how you feel,we had our golf r stolen a few months back by masked raiders smashing down the door in the middle of the night,luckily the car was found only a few hour latter with minimal damage.
When I got the car back I did think about getting a professionally installed tracker,,but instead decided to leave a old iPhone in the car hooked up to a big juice pack,the find my iPhone app works brilliantly.

Sorry to here about this.

I wouldn't want it back, it would be like your wife leaving you then coming home after knowing about 5 men have been through her. It just wouldn't feel right. :grin:

until they use a gps blocker it works great and cheaper than tracker  :smiley:
