Stolen RNS 510 - West Yorkshire

[teesee]

Just thought I'd put up a post about my mates scirocco that got broken into on the 14th of August at 6:30. It happened outside DW fitness at Birstall retail park, junction 27 off the M62. They stole the RNS510 in about 30 seconds after smashing the window.







There was three guys in total. One driver one look out and the guy who smashed the window. They were driving an 'Amazon green' Mk1 Ford Focus. With no rear number plate.





If anyone knows anything about this or the car etc. then let me know and I'll pass it on.

Also be careful where you park!

Cheers,
Tom

If I had a mk6 type dash I would instal security bolts. Too easy to un-clip the facia.

What a bunch of ****s!!

Sorry to hear this... bunch of scumbags!

Are there no limits to what thief's will do? It even looks pretty open where the car was

Yep it was 6:30 PM. Peak time for the gym. They waited for about 20 minutes, then hop out when it went quiet for a bit and crowbar the window. In and out in 30 seconds. It's at the repair place now and they've said it happens all the time. Even when people have put in security bolts, the bodyshop says thieves just smash the screen with the screwdriver out of frustration

Wonder if its worth putting on a security film on the windows?

I can't think of anything else besides having a pitbull guarding the interior...

I work for vw at Barnsley and the barstewardss have done a similar thing to several cars on the pitch 3 times in 12 month. So easy to take out the head units out, so now we have resorted to taking them out while outside for sale to try and stop this. I have a rcd510 dab instead as they leave these alone!

Can't have naff all in bradford/Leeds. "The locals" love them. Security bolts won't stop them they'll just mash the crap out until they get it. Least they unplugged it not cut wires. I hate parking mine anywhere.

Sorry to hear about the radio matey. Maybe a daft question but how come there not so bothered about the rcd dab.

Tbh. I work at main dealer. Seeing cars with stolen radios day in day out. They'll take any....we even had are wipers stolen from all are new models on pitch.

Sorry to hear. Leeds and Bradford are hotbeds for VAG head unit theft unfortunately. All you can do is keep an eye out on it coming up for sale in all the usual places

Hope the scumbags get what's coming to them.
