Sorry to hear it mate, the main thing is that you and your wife and unharmed and the cars are insured.  There are plenty more Golfs out there to replace them with.

Did they sneak up to your room and take the keys from there?  Personally that would freak me out, so my keys stay downstairs.

Big Al, sounds like you have my dream job!

[Alexander]

This is getting ridiculous these people clearly have no regard for anyone or their property. The stupid thing is if they threaten you or your family you cant do anything or you will be the one in court.
Im glad you are both safe, it sounds terrifying.
I hope the police are doing a good job and they catch the scum.

[NEWEY]

sorry to here this :( at least your safe thats the main thing

[stealthwolf]

Dunno what happened to my post.


Mate, that's just sickening. Glad to hear you're okay.

I know what your saying but that isnt entirely true, i speak to a lot of people who think the same thing, the fact is you can protect yourself in your own home and you shouldnt be scared to. As long as its 'necessary' (which it would be in this situation) and 'proportionate' then you can do what you need to do!!

unlucky mate some pics would help too..
in fact today we got a leaflet from the police warning us that theives are targetting cars in our area 
but i live in lowton :|

[Hurdy]

Sorry to hear that. Like the others have said, it is good you are all okay. I wouldn't like to have been in your shoes and hope I never am. 

Pictures would definitely help. Have the cars any specific ID scrapes/ dents/marks on them?

my car keys live on my window sill in my bedroom, the theif would need to walk past me round the bed and get them,

good job mr shotgun lives under the bed 

[courtster]

Sorry to hear this... just awful for you.

The reason I've got my ED30 now is because my colleagues house got broke into 3 times trying to get it....

1st time was when he was away on holiday with the car, they came in for the spare key.  

2nd time was the day he got back, they stormed the door and didn't realise he was in, he chased them down the road!  

3rd time was after he moved house as a direct result of the first 2 times, the car was on the drive but he'd gone to work in partners car and took the key with him.  

After that time he just drove the car to work next day and left it there.

I just can't believe how brazen these gits are nowadays...

cheers guys for all your comments, still a little in shock here to be honest feels like a dream (a bad one!)

basically they have hopped over my garden gate, removed a flag from my patio (a large one - about 20kgs?) and then thrown it at my patio window about 6 times to get in.  during this time, my wife was on the blower to the cops and i was holding the bedroom down awaiting them to come upstairs....

then i saw the light come on and heard them shouting "give me the f*cking keys" they barged the door and i had no option but to hand over the keys (not worth getting stabbed or whatever - i am sure they would of been tooled up). was 2 hoodied blokes and 1 down stairs waiting....

scary sh*te!

house is all secure now, just have an empty driveway now :(

cops chased them but a fiesta was no match!!

[bennylenny88]

they sent a panda car to chase 2 high end cars..
f*cking retatds 

[big al]

I don't think its a case of 'sending' a panda car, its more down to who responds to the job, my shift has 5 peugeots, 2 focus's
and2 vectras, the only high end cars are the traffic which have 1 volvo or 1BMW 5 series. Its not a case of size up the car your persuing and match it Benny.
 
I know everyone else has said it, that you and the wife are ok, but you still have 20K of car missing.
We have an English bull terrier that lives downstairs, I know if they wanted to do anything he isnt going to stop them, but he does make a noise which is hopefully enough to scare them off, or at least wake me up enough to get my foot long maglite ready. (coincidentally, he did go mad last night at something, and then today my side gate was open, be vigilant people)
good luck getting everything sorted.

[SteveTDCi]

the gits, there was me looking at the GTi instead of a Focus ST because of not wanting the attention, i've got to admit i'd leave the keys downstairs, I don't with the audi but would with something else. If they are prepared to break into a house almost certainly knowing people are there then they are stupid enough to do anything. I hope you get sorted soon, just don't let it put you off having another nice car.

[pitch3110]

feel for you mate, that is awful.

I cannot begin to believe how you must of felt.

someone needs to grab this country by the nuts & sort these kind of low lifes out.

All the Best & chin up bud

[WhiteGTI]

Really scary...!!

Hope you get it sorted out mate.
