I think they are awesome seats - absolutely one of the things that struck me about APS's R32 demo car many, many years ago. However, as others have said, I would not have these seats without having a secure garage. I had a set of mkiv R32 seats stolen out of my mkiv 1.8t- we're not in a bad area, but they were brazen. 6 houses look over our driveway. They turned off all the interior lights in the car, moved the sensor on the security light so it wouldn't trigger - not sure how easy seats are to fit in the mk5, but very easy to remove on the mkiv...
