Default Stolen!

This is not exactly what I had in mind for my first post.

Had my car stolen on Friday.

The scumbags broke into the house to get the keys and then drove the car off the driveway.

Please keep a lookout for W945 MBL (silver/red) and call the police if you happen to spot it.

Cheers

We were at work.

The missus got home to find broken glass everywhere. All the doors and windows were locked so they had to smash there way in & go out the same way. Fortunately they only took the keys though.

I guess that they couldn't fit the TV / Microwave / {insert applicance here} into the S2 Boot. Was the car garaged, or on the street ? Any idea why you were targeted ?

Bad luck hope you get it back in one piece.

We had a Saab stolen when someone pinched my Mothers handbag from her consulting room in her surgery. The car was eventually impounded by the police. just in the nick of time as there were false plates in the boot.

only consolation was the body shop which changed the locks saw fit to respray most of the car as we couldnt be sure what new damage the Theiving toerags had done

I'm sorry to hear that Gibbo I have my keys well hidden, although they'd probably just trash the house looking for them B@stards.

Sorry to hear about your car gibbo.

Even thou the S is now buttoned up tighter than a "duck's Butt". i am definately thinking about where to store the keys when the s is at home and i'm at work.

May leave the keys at work, locked away and keep the main set with me. Bonus of having 24 hour security the keys will always be secure and theres no way to get to them.
Plus if they hot wire it then the "eye in the sky" will be notified straight away and hopefully the Police can catch the T*****sS in the act.

Hope they find your car soon and undamaged.
