Stolen around 6.45pm this evening. Please keep your eyes peeled..although I'm not hopeful

This is terrible mate.   :sad1:

Could you elaborate on the whereabouts of your car when this occurred as it may alert other members of what, if anything, to avoid.

If only it was that simple. Theres no difference to leaving the car in a car park. Was in a public place on a main road (Stockport Road) in Denton outside someones house. Car was locked, I'm really anal about locking it and kept the key in chest pocket of my jacket.

the dross of sorting the bits and bobs has already started

So sorry to hear this mate! I assume they got it onto a low loader / recovery truck? Absolute scum bags.

Ive posted a thread over on uk-mkivs and detailing world to alert people.

Im sure there would be some CCTV available which has captured the movements of your car especially if its on the back of a trailer (unless covered) considering Britain has the most CCTV cameras in the world.

Hang on so they stole the car without the keys?
You "sure" you locked it?
If it was taken onto a low loader when it was locked, the alarm would have been going crazy.

Do you press ur alarm once or twice to lock, I always used to press twice as used to dead lock previous cars but disables deadlock and alarm on the golf.

Pretty sure it's if you press it twice within approximately 5 seconds... You can hear it if you stand near the car.

Leave it 10 seconds and press it again to check and it should be fine

I read this from another member just before christmas on this forum. Can honestly say I'm so annal about locking the car I literally stand next to the car, press the button once and place the key in my chest pocket of what ever jacket I'm wearing - never have anything else in the pocket just incase something presses it. Anal I know but thought it would help.

On a separate note - if this was to happen to anyone else, make sure you keep a log of everyone you speak to; time, date and where they are/who they are and what they've said. Its been a NIGHTMARE with the police and insurance companies (Aviva and Orange).

Spoken to so many people and each person has given a variant of the previous person. Without me doing the above i think i would have been really stuck.

GMP. I have a real gripe with them at the moment. Complained twice about not having a crime reference number, received a phone call at 11.40pm last night, officer was at my front door at 1.30am to take a statement.

yes, 11.40pm and 1.30am. Waited in the house as there request from 8.00pm 17/02/14 till 1.30am 19/02/14 to take a statement that lasted 7 minutes.  :confused:

Got the crime reference number now so things are slowly moving on....

Really sorry to hear about this....

but I cant understand the locking procedure? do you press once and leave it or press twice to hear the clunk and thats it?

This is horrible news buddy.. I will keep my eyes out around Sale Altrincham and Timperley area.
