Stolen white GTI
« on: 13 November 2016, 13:39 »
Hi, recently my Golf GTI got stolen from the Dudley, west midlands area.

It is white with the 19" Santiago alloys, DSG, Satnav and leather seats. Reg is E3 JGE.

If someone finds it or sees it for sale etc please let me or the police know.

Sorry to hear that! Hope you get it back and in a good condition!

How it was stolen might be useful to the rest of us here, without letting anything sensitive out of the bag.

Group of four guys turned up around 8pm in what looks like a subaru, broke in to the house and took the keys there were three of us and dog in at the time but didn't hear a thing. They returned later around 10pm and took the car.

Sorry to hear that Je, seems like some really cocky so and so's. Mine went last May, bit more of a smash and grab though still entered the property. Got another car but still bemoaning the loss of my cherished plate, had been in the family over 50 years. Hope you get good news.

The dog heard nowt? It's always a Subaru Impreza these dodgy gangs use - i'm presuming they're now old enough to be cheap (don't want to attract attention by having a stolen flag on the scouting car), decent off-road capability if the bobbies chase them, reliable and quick.

Do you have GAP insurance? If so I personally wouldn't be wanting it back, if not and you don't get your car recovered, make sure you don't let the insurance company give you any less than you'll need for a like-for-like replacement.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Is there an insurance dilemma in these cases? Does the car insurance policy always pay because the car was stolen (regardless of how it was stolen), or is there a level of responsibility for cover lying with the house insurance? After all, the car keys were stolen due to a burglary event on the house.

Mate of mine had all of his family's car keys stolen plus one car.

Turned into a giant cat fight between the house and car insurers.

Nice.
