THEFT OF MARK V GTI - REGISTRATION VE05KPP

[Creepy Coupe]

Blowers,might be worth checking your insurance policy details, as a mate of mine was offered GAP insurance by his dealer, only to find he already had RTI on his own cover for the first year.

Regarding the "sensible car" - to do that, well you'd be giving in to the thieves.  Anyway, you bought the GTI for a specific reason

Agree with that wholeheartedly. Since I've ordered the GTI a few people have mentioned the theft risk and I've though the same each time - I'm not going to avoid having nice things just in case someone nicks them.

Sorry to hear of your awful start to the year Blowers, hopefully things will start to picl up.

I just phone my insurance co, MORE THAN, and they will replace my car for a brand new one, if it's a total loss, up until it's 12 months old. should the worst happen.

Worth checking with your Blowers.

Thanks Creepy . Mines over 12 mths. I am up for battle with the Insurers as and when ready thanks to the moral support and advice from fellow members here!

Latest news is that there is now finally a police "owner" of the case and one of the people who lost their wallet has already had their bank account "attacked"

The believe is that my car was taken as an easy getaway and whilst this was not kids ...neither was it professional car thieves, who would not have gone to the risks of breaking into lockers.  So they do suspect the car will turn up sometime- trashed? burnt out? abandoned? who knows. It could of course be worse for me to have the car recovered in a  bad state rather than it be ing totalled! Will just have to sit and wait.

Above all I just hope they catch the thieving b's  so they don't do this to someone else

What goes around comes around. They will get what they deserve. Its really just a matter of time.

[Blowers]

Yes I agree with that. I know all the GTI owners on this site will also be wishing them ill as well.

Yes blowers, keep us all informed on the latest, we are all thinking of you and hope News is soon.

[Blowers]

Well the latest info is that it was spotted on one police camera, believed on its way to Hertfordshire where within one hour of the car being stolen a credit card  froom a wallet taken from  another locker was compromised. There was in fact one eyewitness to the drive off and Video camera evidence also showing that a  VW parked next to mine was blipped before they matched my car to the stolen keys.

So anyone in the Hertfordshire area please now keep an eye out for  laser blue GTI. The more I think about this-  the more I want them nicked before they have the chance of messing with some other  law abiding citizen!!!  None of us should have to put up with this kind of stuff.

Any news?

Hi Guys, is Blowers still on this site? Do you know what ended up happening with his car? I went to see a GTi on saturday which has turned out to be this car! Just trying to get a decent HPI on the car again now to see when and where it turned up.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you
