They need to catch these scumbags, but then they sometimes they get let off! (mostly down to not enuff space in the prisons, easy answer, build more prisons!!, plenty of places in the country 4 it, but then the Government would rather spend the cash on themselves!)

Putting people in prison only teaches them new ways to commit crime.

If I was in charge, I'd chop their hands off.

Just a quick update....

Just heard that the cars was spotted by a ANPR camera in the Middleton area at 2:30am so it looks like where heading Manchester way....

Also we had the SOCO team over yesterday with there magic dust - no finger prints on the glass just glove marks :( Although there was blood on my banister that they have managed to get a sample off! fingers crossed they are in the DNA database so at least one of the barstewardss gets nailed!

Didnt manage to sleep much last night - although i had a golf club next to me ready if they decided to come back and take the 206 GTI  that i am borrowing off the drive!

excellent news mate, never going to get fingerprints from crims nwadays, but I would say 99.9% they will be on the database with teh blood taken, doubt very much that these are first time criminals.
Have you managed to resecure your home since it happened, sounded like they made a bit of a mess of it,

[joesgti]

i think it bad that the police hold all the dna of people though,

ive been arrested (not charged) so they have my dna even though i didnt do anything 

[VeeDubDan]

Can I ask where the cars were kept at night, on the drive?  If not it suggests you were followed home which is even scarier!!   Hope they catch the scumbags!

you can request to have it taken off the system, but don't know how easy it is to do, find your force head office and speak with them.

Yeah both on the drive back to back with each other, my wife thinks she got followed a few weeks back when she was on her way home at midnight after her shift in my car (same job as big al   ) - really hope not but you never know.

Hopefully matey, should get the results back within a week so hope there is a match! House is as secure as it can be until tomorrow when we get the new window in. Ended up getting it boarded up straight away. Was listening out for every noise last night so absolutely knackered now!

I think they should be allowed to keep it, if you don't break the law you won't have an issue

Any update on what happened with your stolen car smate?

[maak]

F88k me, this thread has made me think twice about getting an R32/GTI !

It's certainly worrying 

I live on a very quiet cul-de-sac but last night around 11:45 whilst watching my ususal dose American Chopper I heard a car on the road, I looked out of the window and there was a gang of lads (not friendly looking ones either) with their windows down going past my drive verrryyy slowly garing at my S3. At the turning point at the bottom they turned round and stopped with their car facing mine all having a good look at it, they then drove off down the road again, again doing the same thing, driving very slowly garing at my car. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep last night. I usually put my car in the garage but it ain't possible at the moment as it is full of junk that will be there for another month or so  Little bit worrying

I scared my fiancee to death telling her about this as we have just got the Mk5 GTI.

I sleep with an official police issue extending baton by the side of the bed. If this ever happened, im hoping the dog would wake up and let us know about it first so i could be prepared for the barstewardss!!!

You do know those batons are illegal don't you, think if you did attack someone with it you would find yourself getting in a bit of trouble.
But htey are damn effective weapons!!!
