Thanks guys, it seems to be happening a lot at the moment.

The police say that it should be easy to find on those ANPR camera's

ritual seems to be they swap the plates (clone) and park it up till it cools down somewhere.

go for a drive, around some residential areas? are there any distinguishing markings other than the plate?

Totally standard VC, i didnt get chance to mod it

Sorry to hear about this mate  :sad1:

Did you say you were walking or in another car?

I was in my girlfriends car when i saw mine at the bottom of the road.

For some reason the theifs had stopped to chat - the silver A3 was parked along side.

I jumped out and ran across the road but they saw me and just sped off, only 1 meter away from hitting me.

Cops reckon that the silver A3 has been nicked in the past week and has been seen going to and from Bradford in the last few days so thats where they reckon my car will end up.

Well my GTI was found in Bradford

Someone had notified the police that 3 scallys (2 White, 1 Asian) have been seen driving a black GTI.

When the car was recovered it had been cloned with a GTI from Manchester, so if you are from Manchester and have a 57 plate balck 3 door GTI possibly advertised for sale then it could be yours.

The police said that they will try contact the owner over the next few days.

Question.

As my insurance company have already paid out and now own the car, will i be allowed to swap the RNS510 (if its still in the car)with the original RCD300?

Not sure where i stand with this as it wasnt declared.

I suppose technically the car isn't yours now so any interference/swapping could be construed as theft.
