Feckers!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about that dude. Bet the police aren't bothered either. Had mine broken into a few mths ago and my last car was keyed(the whole car). Police weren't bothered just gave me a crime number.
I've ended up buying a Clifford with black jack incase it's ever taken.
Hope you gets some good news soon
Sorry to hear about your GTi :(
Of course the Police are interested !!! They are realistic though in what they are going to find - a keyed car particularly but also a broken into car is not as easy to get someone for once they have made off as someone driving a GTi... a keyed car will get you sympathy but they can't perform miracles.
I am sure the index will be circulated but officers with an interest in cars tend to remember performance cars that have been nicked and stop ones they see to check them out - regardless of the data from the police national computer. It doesn't take long to work out if a car is still on a legit plate or not and *most* drivers are happy you do the check as if it were their car nicked they would want the same done.
I stopped a white Edition 30 about a year back for this very reason after one was stolen near me and put up on here (or at least it was on one of the VW sites). The owner was only subjected a very quick chat and check as I know what to look for and am not interested in holding someone up when it is a genuine driver ! I didn't post the fact I'd stopped a car as a result of the post - and no one ever would ....
What I am getting at it that officers would much rather get someone in a stolen car than deal with the usual dross so please don't think they are not going to be interested - they own cars too and know their value ! Equally they feel for people who have them damaged and broken into - but it doesn't mean they are going to catch anyone which they usually know when it is reported .....
