What Facebook page was this on? I am just along the road in Larbert, not many red GTD's around here so I will keep an eye out.

I made my own post public and Tartan Tarmac kindly shared it for me.

That's been a week now and no news - so who knows...

It had a roof rack and single Thule Pro Ride attached and was on SottoZero winter tyres - so as red GTDs goes it was a bit different.

Insurance company won't give money for the roof rack and bike rack - they want me to order new ones and claim it back.  Erm, I don't have a car to know what roof rack to order 😂

Really miss it - but don't want to start thinking about a replacement - as I've a 6 week wait till the insurance write it off.

Have really beefed up the house security with more to do - but my wife is still really freaked out.  The kids are okay thankfully- keep asking "what have the robbers done with your car Daddy" - but haven't connected that they were in the house to get the keys - which I'm happy about - don't want them being afraid in their own house too...

What a depressing sign of the of the times we are living in.
I'm looking at installing new security lighting and even considering a CCTV system, but I fear even that won't deter these a#seholes.

Seen two red GTD's in Birmingham today and checked both for sings of recent roof bars fitted but nothing. The second one as I was looking the owner came back to the car with a very strange look on his face(not surprising) but I told him why I was looking and he said he had heard about it on Facebook. I don't use Facebook but with something like this, for others to see it do you need to have loads of followers?

BTW the first one had the standard 18's but the second one had aftermarket 18's with winter tyres.

Thank you so much for checking!  Really really appreciate it.

Mine had Pirelli SottoZero 3 winters on the standard Nogaros.  👍

I don't have loads of FB friends / followers, it was shared on a Scottish car forum and seems to have gone round a few community boards too - great to hear people down south have heard too - shows it's worth always sharing these stolen car posts wherever we are!

No problem, it was just a matter of stopping and a quick check on the cars.

Can anyone recommend a good quality CCTV camera that sends images to your phone?
Had a look at a few Samsung models online but someone with first hand experience of one would be good.

I had my house burgled in September as my family slept at 4am he left my GTI keys but took my new van keys.
They used my van in a armed robbery the following week all my expensive Festool power tools stolen adding to around 6k. Was totally gutted but have upped my security and found out who the thieving b*****d is he also stole another nice car on Monday morning as it was being defrosted. Karma is coming soon.

 No problem. Really easy to install. 2 cam has 500g hard drive 30 days recording
4 cam has 1tb 60 days recording. I'm sure if you shop about you may get it even cheaper.

Anyone with experience of one of these?

The resolution on the camera is poor you min req 720p. The camera itself is just an additional camera to add to a Samsung DVR.
