Default Slightly Annoyed !

Greetings !

a rare post from myself I'm afraid and possibly my last !

My house got broken into last night ( i'm asleep upstairs) and they got the keys to my baby and its gone ! I found out this morning when I woke up.

All reported to the police etc and Tracker activated.

So if you see or are offerred a nuringberg blue s2k GT reg B52 EYU with hartop missing ( in the shed ) its STOLEN and missing from Solihull as of last night.

in some ways I dont want it back ???

Its insured through privledge, anybody have any experience/advice in dealing with them ? will they supply a courtesy car ? how long does it have to be missing before they pay ?

Me and the cats are cool so i suppose that what counts !

any advice much appreciated.

Really sorry to hear your manor has been compromised, makes me really angry that. Its about time the law changed - Blunket had it right you know, his successor is the blind one.
I'm sure everybody will look out for the number plate, but if the thieving sh1ts have any sense they'll have that off already.

Best
Phil.

Bad luck, but at least you are okay, they could have done a lot more than take your keys.

Hopefully when they need to fill up with fuel, they won't be able to find the flap opener thingy.

good luck.

Newer than mine.............but I don't like blue!!

Sorry to hear of this. We are localish so will keep an eye out. No news from tracker?............It may well be in a shipping container by now unfortunately.

Gap insurance? Hope this is not gonna be a Midlands trend.

Cruise the neighbourhood.

Scov's car got nicked last year, and was found not too far away.
Appears the thieves are wise to the cars possibly having a tracker system installed and leave them somewhere for a while to see if they get tracked down.

Sorry to hear about this.

Philos: A law change would make no difference here.

Is it time to re-open the "hide your keys vs give them your keys" debate?

Subjective IMO - would thieves bother if it were possible they were risking severe injury or worse?

$hit

Beardie is right Scov got his back unmarked. A law change wont make any difference IMHO. Each of us need to make a personal decision protect and risk death/injury or let em go and get another!

At least you are OK !

There are pleny of other S's to buy when you get the insurance money! (plus they are cheaper at the moment )

So sorry to hear this, I would be fuming. I hope they catch the ****. Trackers seem to do there job very well so I expect you will get it back.

Best of luck to you.

If they do catch him/her take them to court for every thing, then do it again and again and again.
