Stolen Edition 30
« on: December 06, 2008, 09:31:30 pm »
Just browsing through ebay and found this - if we can all be vigilant and keep an eye out - I certainly will,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-GTI-EDITION-30_W0QQitemZ270311719444QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item270311719444&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Poor guy, I admire his determination.

Regards Gareth

I know, I dare say he's thinking the same "oh... I'll just run in" - pity - just think if it was yours - I'd be mortified  :sad: - so long as we can all keep a look out for this poor fellow's car - I think he'd appreciate it.

Well if it a hand car wash like we have near me then you give the car and keys to the attendant who then gets one of the lads to wash it. After washing the car would just be parked on the lot with the keys in the ignition.

Never used a car wash so don't know how it works but I do feel sorry for the chap.

I leave the keys in when I go to open the garage door - am more worried about the turbo/engine wearout than it being stolen.  The way everything is where I live (garage is behind the house), I'd spot someone and run towards the car faster than they'd be able to.

Basically he's screwed  :sad:

Deep within the small print of his Insurance document it state's you should do all in your power to keep you car safe and take every reasonable effort to do so, and leaving your keys in the ignition under any circumstance whilst the car is unattended does not constitute this.

Personally I don't need anyone to tell me how stupid this is as I value my car and would never dream of leaving the keys in the ignition.  :fighting:

It's unlucky but the owner hasn't helped himself and would get no sympathy from me im afraid! Merry Christmas  :santa: :xmastree:
