Get well soon! Its a good thing they got him - he will go down for it for sure.
Just a note - dont know how many of you know this - but the Scoob does have auto lock - I only found out the other day - if you read the manual it tells you how to get it working.
Cheers

Was looking forward to meeting Greg and Alison again this weekend. 
They are such an easy going and enthusiastic couple - hope they get the wagon back and put all this behind them as soon as they can......

That's really s**t, hope Greg recovers from his arm, and Alison is ok.
Was speaking to them on Saturday about future events, hope it doesn't deter them from Scooby ownership, it would be a great loss to the subaru community.
Get well soon Greg and Alison, hope to see you at the next show.

However, she's paranoid anyway and always locks it, but best to be on the safe side. Might be worth having a thread to show everyone how it's done.
On another note... Guess which ******* address will be revealed when he's up before the magistrate (and following that, judge!)?

There are places in the world where they chop off thieves hands. I think they should introduce that here. I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. Carry a big Maglite in your car full of batteries then you can see get their arm broken!!! Piece of s***.

OMG Greg, when you read this I hope you are feeling better. I cannot believe this happened to you, and I hope it doesn't put you off (which I can understand if it does) owning another Scooby. I remember seeing your car when you originally purchased, and then through you posting various pictures of it, seeing it slowly transformed in to the great looking car it was.
I hope the Police do have the right person and that they get a bit more than a few hours community service for this!
All the best mate....

Sickening, I hate seeing these posts but unfortunately it's the society we now live in. I never lock the doors on the scoob, if somebody wants it they can try me but if the Mrs is driving especially on her own she always locks them, even her Clio does it. As for the auto lock IIRC for an 03STi its, ignition on - keycode - 5 - ignition off, I might be wrong though.
Really hope this little sh*t gets whats coming to him.

I have only had my Impreza for 5 days and I am already thinking about getting some Pepper Spray or legal equivalent.
I teach Taekwondo (Korean Martial Art) 4 times a week and sometimes we do self-defence classes that involve the use of rubber knives. I think I may keep one or two in the car. There is no way you could do any harm with one but shouting and swearing at someone wanting to take your car while waving one about may make them think twice about it.
Although I have been training in different martial arts for the last 15 years, it pays to try preventing any confrontation in the first place. I always lock my doors before I set of and I am always aware of who is standing around when going to the car and parking up.
It’s a sorry state of affairs when you have to think like this but if your not aware of what’s going on around you something like this could happen any of us.

Greg/Alison,
i am so sorry to hear this. firstly i hope you make a speedy recovery. secondly i hope your car is undamaged (assuming your at all intersted now now some **** has been in it). its not been a lucky 6 months or so for you guys form the Scoob point of view (considering the T.O.D Revisited).
with the wagon sorted and looking exceptionally mint, i thought you'd be looking forward to a great summer of Scooby motoring and meets.... and now this. its totally your decision, but please don't allow this to deter you from enjoying what is a great car and community - i for one would resent the fact that i was cheated out of meeting great people the likes of you guys because of such a thing!
hope to see you guys again real soon,
Kevin

Greg and Alison, I'm really sorry to hear that. If there is anything I can do, you'll let me know, right? Tried to call you just now, but your mobile's switched off. Assuming you are still in hospital. Give me a call when you come out, and feel up to it. But until then, I hope you make a swift recovery.
Some of you will know that I was car jacked back in January in Erdington KFC, too, so I know exactly how it feels (except I didn't have my arm broken...). It makes my blood boil, especially, as K9VYN pointed out, the scumbag retains his rights in the eye of the stupid British judicial system. In this case, though, it is not just a car theft, it is an assault as well as (assuming) armed robbery, so hopefully the court won't be so foregiving.

I don't know Greg & Alison, but to hear of this horrendous event is really shocking. I'm just glad that it wasn't anymore serious than it already was and I wish Greg a speedy recovery.
Happy the police have caught the scumbag and I really hope he gets his comeuppance !!!

Greg and Allison our thoughts go out to you. Hope your Op has gone well today and you will be back in the fold soon.
It only seems 5 mins since we were on the IOM together and then this happens.
If the 'Suspects' details were ever to be leaked out I would not mind paying him a visit.
Sorry we can't come to the hospital as baby Sophie is too demanding but we hope to see you soon.
Tim, Maria and Sophie
PS - Best wishes also from Anthony, Sandra and Alex.

SimonRB5,
Has printed off this thread and taken it to the hospital today to cheer him up and to be honest all the comments here will certainly help
I do know the Ward he is in but Don't think it wise to post it
Regards,
Tony
