Yep, broke in - found the keys and took a few electrical items - laptop, iPad and my wallet.

I feel lost ... Worked hard for that car and never thought I'd actually get one, never mind the spec I then eventually found.

Jesus the Fu@king animals  :confused:

Get pictures re posted up and get the reg out onto the forums, as someone just may spot it.

Also as already suggest, use the Apple track and trace, hopefully your iPad is on somewhere, and then you can spot it

I feel so so gutted for you

Really sorry to hear about this matey. I agree with TC, these scum don't deserve to live.

Post by: Deako on March 07, 2013, 03:04:23 pm
So sorry to hear this.  :sad1:

My keys never leave me, i take them everywhere. And i never leave tech on show, apart from the obvious TV/Xbox and Mac under the TV.

Do people often take photos of their cars with Geotag enabled on here? When i share any photos on Flickr, i have Geotagging details disabled so nobody can see where i have taken a photo. Obviously, a little bit of local knowledge would still find out where i took a pic, but most houses here look the same.

Same here, Ed30 keys lived very close to me  :happy2: and spare keys were kept in a safe.

Did it have a tracker?

doesnt really help now but i would recommend buying one of these security post for your drive. I bought one last week as a neigbough saw someone peeking through my letter box at half 4 in the morning, a bit ugly, but may just put them off

It's a good idea, but where do you keep the key for practicality?... probably with the car keys? DOH!

I really hope you find the motor unharmed mate... as others have said get as much detail out there as fast as possible... someone just may have seen them driving it.
Love to know whether the iPad trick would work too... probably find a lot more knicked gear at the same time.

Sad News

Do you think that they are riding around with it on the original plates then ? There's probably 200000 number plate thefts in the last year alone.

Possible, but probably just a coincidence.

When I had my ST taken, the little chavs took a high spec beemer and a hot A3 on the same night - they just spent an hour or so going round 3 towns near each other looking for the "best" cars with houses they could get in to.  Doesn't take long to find an interesting car if you've got a bit of patience.

My lesson: Always lock your front door with a key. I hadn't, and it was a plastic front door you can come through the letterbox and open from the inside. Doh.

Yeah the idea is not to keep it with the car keys. Best place is in your boot, thiefs are thick and would never think it in the car.

Thanks guys, times ticked on and to be honest I'm now just fooking angry.

It's a white 5dr dsg car with Recaro seats and black wheels. Had it a few days over a month! Pretty sure they have seen it cruising round our streets, the attempted to get a new focus ST from down the road.

The reg will be off by now, don't think they would leave it on that long as anpr would pick it up.

Gonna take time to replace it and god help them if they try again!

That's really sh*tty...sorry man.

I think you can possibly understand how some people just completely lose it and end up battering some thief with a cricket bat. Of course you wind up in prison, but there must be great satisfaction in watching them suffer.

I think its hit me this morning, the helpless feeling really gets you - the sickening feeling that some low life scum has been in the house and taken things I work hard for and they obviously have no resepct.

I wont find another the same as it was nicely spec'd and had some individual touches - yes there will be others but this was 'my' car and after only having it a few months.

Now things are rules by those who dont stick to the rules - the wife hardly slept last night, my son has been upset - that hurts.

Not got it back - never going to see that again unless some overseas operation pings it up one day.

Not given in though ;)
