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.

hey al sorry bout that mate sometimes i dont think before i post.

Don't worry about it mate, I just get overy defensive of the guys, I appreciate that tensions are high over the situation.

This is very shocking to read and a wake up call if anyone needed one!

My opinion is I would do all in my power to stop them and have taken the necessary steps should this situation ever face me! I had an attempted break in a few months back and told the Police in no uncertain terms what I'd do if they got in my house. He just said 'fair play' and smiled!

Glad to hear your ok and I hope you get your cars back in one piece!  :happy2:

 :surprised:

And I thought you lived in a nice, quiet area too! This is why I wanna leave the centre of Brum and move to a nicer area in the outskirts.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

It tends to be the 'nicer' quieter area's that are targetted Stealth.

Some scally tried to climb over my gate and as it's rotten it collapsed and woke a neighbour. I'd love it if they tried it again!  :evilgrin: :wink:

After my Octavia was taken I asked the nice Policeman if I could have a quiet word if they found them.

He just smiled at me and didn't say anything.

I have a 18 inch Maglite to explain how wrong the intruders are. :wink:

Glad your both are ok,
as ive said before, all our keys (2x cars 1x bike) are in a pot on the third stair up. i dont want my nearest n dearest to be harmed in any way.
our side gate has a lock on it, plus on the top of the gate and fence in that area, ive plastered that black anti vandle grease,
and tons of copper slip, at least we'd know (if caught) who it was. (cheaper than smart water)
id love to wire in a little kill/cut switch to immo it.

Does make you wonder what would happen if you had used a Revo Select/Select Plus and put the car in anti-theft mode, would hate to think that things could get nasty! Just makes you realise the realities that lie out there.

This is really bad news! Sorry to hear it!

I literally wouldn't help these people if I saw them dieing! Let me check my watch, ahh yes, I have absolutely no time for them at all!

I always take the keys up into my room at night like Joe. Plus the hockey stick is on hand should they not know what time it is and need reminding! Luckily I have no children to worry about, but maybe if you do that may not be the best plan!

That could work out well for those who want to get revenge...sneak down with big maglite while they're trying to start it and unleash hell!  :evilgrin:
