You cant let them win mate, if it is fully insured it can be replaced!
Life is too short not to enjoy something for the fear of others taking it.

Have been considering the BMW 1 series & civic type r as alternatives that drive/handle well. Test drove a seat Leon fr diesel but steering felt a bit light, lacking feedback after gti. Would these cars be less targeted than a golf gti by criminals?

Was in the same situation as you back in 2010 so i know ohw it feels.

After my car was stolen it really put me off getting anything nice again. Eveyone i know with a GTi / R32 has either had it stolen or had an attempted break in. (Cops said it was more likely for the car).

The BMW 1 Series is even easier to pinch as they dont need the keys to do it.
