Further proof if needed that whoever ran the best getaway car feature earlier this year are a bunch of irresponsible muppets. Sadly I think they are the same bunch that did the dyno day

Anyway, STOLEN yesterday evening from Heathrow Airport

Silver WRX - 1994 - L410 NJO

If you see the car mail me - you know where to find me.

The police comment was that it is probably stashed in a lock up waiting to be used on a job (like busting some wiseguys out of court like last week!).

If you have any info it would be appreciated.

Sorry to hear about the car. I am seriously thinking of having a Tracker device fitted to my car.

 

I hear that, nowadays, if you buy RAC Trackstar 24 Hour Guardian you get a free P1...

Sorry to hear about the car...will keep eyes and ears open up here in Yorkshire.

Hooping it turns up.

Rum

 

Damn Shame - i will keep my eye out

 

Sorry to hear about the car.

I'll keep my eyes open (especially as I'm working up that way tonight)

These *insert random swear words* car thieves make me mad

 

I can't understand anyone who hasn't already got some kind of tracking device fitted to one of these beauties!

Do you leave the keys in it as well, eh??

 

Squizz - Not the most tactful/useful post i have read.
hindsight is a most beautiful thing and a Trackeralike system is no guarantee

Chopping car thieves hands off probably is though....

Yep, we shouldn't be rubbing salt in any wounds.

Rannoch, sorry to hear it mate, mine was at Heathrow Sunday Night, a little to close for home this one. As it likely the car reg has been changed and nothing have ou a picture you can post?

Anyway,hope you come up smelling of roses!

 

What a nightmare, sorry to hear there's been another one nicked.

Was it in the airport carpark when it was nicked? I though they were meant to have security?

Rannoch,

real soory to hear the news - hanging should be brought back. Scott's idea about the photos good if possible.

I'm sure we can all imagine what you must be feeling like.

Rannoch - I do apologise. My rant was pointed the direction of "dholmes" and his blithe "I am seriously thinking of having a Tracker device fitted to my car."

I certainly was not making light of your situation. I hope you have luck in having your pride and joy found un-molested and the culprits locked away.

Thieving scum make my blood boil. (And my insurance rocket sky-high!!)

And as for Paul Habgood! - Well admonished, sir...Totally correct. (We all have bad days - Poor Rannoch especially!). Once again I apologise.

If you do/intend to have a tracking device fitted then DONT ADVERTISE THE BLOODY FACT!!

I wonder if all the trackstar units in the P1s are in the same place - hence making it easy peasy to find them, rip them out and render them useless.

I've heard from reliable sources (my policeman dad, and a tracker/trackstar fitter) that most thieves know the likely places to find them on a Subaru...Coz there's only three or four places they can fit on our particular car.

Typical.

 

Gentlemen...

...thank you all for your kind comments - remember to keep your eyes open for the car...

...for those that know me you will realise it is not mine - its actually my secretary's brother's - I will pass on these kind words.

The car was parked on the street - he had forgotten his security pass for the car park.

Also a comment on Trackers - did anyone see the photo's of the car taken from Donington last year - they ripped it apart looking for the Tracker - and when it was recovered that was the only damage that had been done!

Keep your eyes peeled and your cars locked,

Cheers,

R

 

A horrible experience even to the most hardened of people........I've had every supercar under the sun and have never known the attention a scooby seems to attract from the wrong sort, up here in Rochdale a woman getting into her scooby was gun threatened and had her car taken right outside her home and in broad daylight........buying my first scooby 3 weeks ago I purposely bought a yellow one thinking it not every body's cup of tea and hard to go unoticed, having said that it also has 1 x cat 1, a seperate immobiliser, a gear lock ( reccomended by SIDC ), a steering wheel lock and wait for it.....a 24hr tracker ( cost £650 instalation and £10.99 a month ).oh and my wife's in the drug squad and is known to a fair few people ! is all this really worth it.........at the moment, yes.
