Default Car Stolen Last Night

The Mrs came down at 6am this morning to find the back door open and the keys gone. Looked outside and no scooby. Few other things missing from the house (wallet, cash, camcorder, camera) but nothing else.
Only had about 1/4 tank left in so they wouldnt of got that far before having to put some petrol in it.

To say im gutted is an understatement, but at least myself and my family are oK

Sorry to hear this mate, it makes me sick every time I hear of a car getting nicked, scumbags should get a job and buy stuff instead of taking everyone else's hard earned

Hope it all works out and as you say at least no one was hurt

Gutted for you mate - thieiving b*stards the lot of em.

This happened to a guy down the road from me - thieves opened his double-glazed front door from the outside (wasn't locked - one of those push-up lever style types), went in and made off with his beemer convertible.

Unsurprisingly he wasn't too happy! Same thing happen to you or did they actually break in forcibly?

Hope you get it back okay; like you said, at least nobody was hurt. Hopefully though, someone will hurt the people responsible for the theft

Thieving barstewards!

I think that it is also the fact the someone has been in your house going through you stuff whilst you were sleeping is something hard to come to terms with.

We have an alarm now, so hopefully that will be a deterant (sp) !!

I hope they are found and have their thieving hands cut off!!

Last year, when I was staying there, my mums house was broken into, crowbarred the double glazed door oped round the back, they were after the scoob keys, as they had dropped them on their way out after being disturbed.

This is beyond a joke now! how many have gone missing in the triangle of Peterborough, Birmingham and Essex now in the last month? 10?

Once I move house on May 7th first thing i'm doing is beefing up the security inside the house so if dust falls from the ceiling nailbombs fire or something.

Really really really sorry to hear about this, I know how gutted I get when people smash my window to steal 2 cans of red bull on the back seat!

Can't even imagine waking up to see car has gone

Will keep eyes open for this my way (Cambridge) not many blue STI's with black PFF7's although it's probably stolen to order

I take it the car & registration haven't changed since the photos were taken in 'View my Scooby'?

Like everyone else, sorry to hear about this

Seconded - sooner rather than later!
P.S. €4.9bn? Would that be Societe Generale by any chance?
Don't worry mate - my company's lost far more - I think we're up to around $20bn now....

As others have said Dan, if you need a lift anywhere, just ask - not exactly as if you are far away is it!

Also just realised - get a thread up on the SIDC site - Stolen Scoobies bit, and you might as well copy that into the SN General section........ you never know who may see it!

Add Scoobycity to that as well!
