Stolen MR2 and Audi

Anonymous · July 9, 2004, 12:44

s:cry: :cry: s:cry: Having owned my brand new MR2 since the end of April, some very nice people visited my house last night at 1 p.m., broke in, got the keys and drove off. To add insult to injury they also stole my brand new Audi.

Not much chance probably of getting them back, but if anyone sees a chilli red MR2 registration RJ 04 UXB or a silver Audi Avant (estate) 1.9TD, registration LX 04 YNN please contact me or the police. s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

Thanks

Rod

Jesus, I am so sorry to hear this, these burglaries are getting more and more common, hope that they turn up for you.

What area are you in so at least the members in that area can keep a look out?

Shit, thats bad!

I guess at the moment we are lucky as our car is never outside our house, its certainly something I am worried about when I move up north with a drive.

I am thinking of getting tracker (opening that debate again) just for this sort of situation. Although its the breaking into the house thats the worse thing....keep telling Kerstie to hide keys!

Essex Police have just done a campaign giving out keyrings with "take me to bed" written on them, I know that the debate goes on about whether someone would come upstairs looking for them, but that is very rare to happen.

Took a call the other day from a woman, husband had got up early to fly off to the England game, she came down - went to take the daughter to school and found their X5 and MGF had been nicked, keys were in the kitchen - kitchen window wasn't locked shut. The scumbags had also loaded up the X5 with their Plasma screen tv, DVD's cd's, PS2 and helped themselves to £5,000 from a "secret compartment" in their office. Re tracker, the X5 had it on and was recovered 2 hours later...it does work.

I just hope that Rod's cars are found really really soon, I hate this sort of thing and to think that someone has been in your house whilst you were asleep must be absolutely awful.

Get a punishment to fit the crime and crime will stop s:!: :!: s:!:

Cut the little sh*tes hands off and stamp their forehead "thief"

Feel annoyed for you.

Thanks for the sympathy. Liz makes a good point, I am located South West of London, Kingston/Esher area.

Tracker may have helped. The police who came at 1.00pm in the morning certainly could have done something if I had one.

Keeping the keys upstairs is also a good idea apparently. However, it only requires some guys, and there was obviously at least 3 in this case, to be really determined and then what? Recently someone was stabbed trying to stop them stealing his cars, and I can assure you I do not live in a rough area. No doubt why they targeted where I live.

Cars are probably long gone, but as for feeling violated in the house, not really. My house was targeted solely for the cars. It was obviously cased out.

Check your front doors. It appeared that even though I have a lever lock front door, they managed to somehow manipulate something through the letter box to open the door. It was not until the police pointed it out, that I saw that the lever, etc. could be reached with some clever tool through the letter box.

Still crying s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

I can only second what everyone on here has said, truly gutted for you. To quote what Roadsterman99 said;
'Get a punishment to fit the crime and crime will stop'
Very true...
'Cut the little sh*tes hands off and stamp their forehead "thief"'
Would be a good place to start .... s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted: s:evil: :evil: s:evil: s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted: s:evil: :evil: s:evil: s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted: s:evil: :evil: s:evil:

Agree 100%

Better still - criminal power stations - Chuck em in a furnace to power turbines. Get rid of scum, produce electricity and save the forest/coal etc.

Not so sure I like that idea, I'm in the power industry, and currently my fuel of choice is natural gas. It burns cleanly, has very little environmental effect when burnt in the latest lean burning sequential combustion machines, and theres no need to cleanse the fuel filters of 1 inch gold chains, burburry baseball caps, hooded tops, tracksuits, flick-knives, and stolen radios. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Can we keep this at least slightly on topic please!. s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

s:lol: :lol: s:lol: Update

Audi recovered with minor damage to rear bumper, being repaired at the moment.

No trace of the MR2 so brand new MR2, exactly the same as before in the drive picked up yesterday. AXA insurance bought a new one from the same dealer where I originally bought the car as my policy stated they would replace with a new car within one year of purchase if stolen or written off. AXA did a great job of keeping me informed and sorting out the new car, so hats of to them.

Nice to have a MR2 back, much easier to drive on long journeys than my 1957 MGA coupe!! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Good to see you back on the road mate. Cant believe you got the Audi back, did they catch the scroats then?

Not long till I move now hopefully, and definitely considering tracker.

s:lol: :lol: s:lol: They may be caught. Apparently 4 blokes were stopped in a stolen car about 3 weeks after my episode with all the tools to break into people's houses. The car had just been stolen. Their MO was similar to what happened to me, but when asked about a number of car thefts/break-ins including mine, they had no comment. s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
