Gutted for you mate, IM from saddleworth originally about 5 miles up the road, hope the police at Ashton roundabout get their fingers out and find it for you.
About 6 months back a guy who works with one of my best mates woke in the middle of the night with someone trying to nick his keys, fortunately for him they were hidden very well and he heard them and went downstairs to be confronted by 2 scrotes, they were clearly not aware he was a martial arts instructor and he kicked the crap out of them both while his wife was calling the police, police turned up 15 mins later and he had them both "zip tied" to the back of his works van outside his house
The police asked him what happened, he told them they had struggled and attacked him with a screwdriver and he "restrained" them (
), police said fair enuff and took em away, he was in Rochdale i think.
My own car is locked on the drive with keys hidden away, but I also have a disklok and the key for that is somewhere else.
I hope you get your car back soon mate, if not I hope the ins pays out full value and you can find an equally tidy example.
