Oh No!!!!
« on: 16 November 2008, 09:18 »
Knock on the door from the police at 5.30 this morning ...  :shocked:

Someone's stolen the numberplates from my GTi, then terrorised a family up in Croxteth with an Audi S3 (well at least the theives had some taste I suppose), swapped the numberplates for mine, and gone on a bit of a rampage.

Really feel for the family with the Audi, hope the police have got the b@stards.

Right. Off to Halfrauds for some theft proof numberplates, so long as I can find my V5. :laugh:

Do you mean actually physically unscrewed the plates from your car and put them on the Audi or just cloned the plates??

I suppose if he has to go to halfrauds to get some theft-proof ones, they had been physically stolen. Otherwise he wouldn't need to replace them.


Unlucky mate but at least they didn't take your car!

Thanks  :cool:  That photo was taken 20 minutes after I picked up the car from the showroom last year.  Since then I have only washed it twice and waxed it twice  :embarassed: :embarassed:  It has Autoglym Lifeshine applied by the Dealer which was a big mistake as it left swirl marks on the paint after they employed a monkey to do the job.  I am going to get it detailed within a month and its going to sit in the garage - I'll be getting another car as a daily driver.
