Well after reading the post on here over the weekend regarding the cars that had been broken into at Leeds/Bradford airport and had the RNS units stolen, imaging been told at work by the unit next to us that your car alarm is going off so you go out and find this!!



P!SSED OFF isn't the word! Only had the GTD 4 weeks and now its happened to me, in broad daylight. The T***S were in and out in 2 minutes!

To make matters worse they have just ripped it out and it also needs a loom

Insurance I'm afraid.  I'm in no position to put all the damage right.
I put a big deposit down which I'm still out of pocket with

Feck sake! It's getting beyond a joke now, I think I'm going to take my RCD510 out because its not worth the aggro, plus the thick thieving tw@s won't realise it's not sat nav till they've done the damage. I'm getting a rage on just thinking about it!

[gizm0]

robbing tw@s!!! this is getting too common, been thinking of the anti theft film you can have applied to your windows to stop it smashing, if they smash it and it doesn't break fully they may leave it as it will take them too long or they will get caught. shame we have to do these things though :(

was you parked somewhere quiet or something?

[karl210]

Think we need to come up with a plan for this...

I might stick some security torx bits in mine soon. Not gonna stop them from smashing the window and ripping off trim but if they havent got a security bit at least it will save your rns.

How about the "VW Navigation Lock" that was being advertised in Europe a few years back. I don't know if its available over here or even if its still made but its an idea to prevent those feckers.

From the Internet...






Volkswagen have designed a lockable satellite navigation cover for its RNS 310 and RNS 510 models.

Volkswagen designed the cover following a spate of  navigation unit thefts from VW cars in Europe, such thefts becoming pretty endemic in Holland apparently.

The Navi Lock system locks a large metal plate over the entire navigation system, theoretically obscuring the hardware and making it more difficult to steal in the process. When owners are ready to use their nav screen, they simply unlock the plate using a key and go about their business.

The system is available for the VW Golf and Passat in Europe, but it’s not cheap either., costing 219 Euros including installation, but still cheaper than having to buy a replacement navigation unit.

Its a joke. Police confirmed that there's been loads done in last month in West Yorkshire.  

Two units down from us have CCTV, been down and watched it.
The b@stards are sending some pikeys in first in a van to check things out then once thats gone and confirmed car has Nav the car comes in and lad gets to work. Couldn't make it out properly on Camera but it looks like a dark blue Renault.

I'm not joking the car comes in at 14:37 and at 14:38 its pulling out at some speed and gone!
