Scumbags!

Hope your car is recovered soon.

Gear Head 10 April 2014 09:10 AM

Absolute scum. Hope they catch the feckers. At least they didn't attack you or your family.

Spoken to the pub it was seen outside of but was too late and no car matching the description. Guy was really helpful and taken details incase it comes back.

Sorry for your loss
It's getting to the point nowadays you needs floor safe installed to protect your worth ..

blackhawksti 10 April 2014 03:39 PM

I know it must be horrible having your prior and joy taken,but do you really want to keep keys in a safe? if they want your car that means they'll wake you for the keys. Just leave them where they can find them (albeit not through the letter box) and sleep safe instead

theduck 10 April 2014 03:40 PM

I would advise leave them where they can find them, but not all together. Make it easy for them to get what they want but not easy to take everything. Keys for 4 cars were taken!!

scoobyboy1 10 April 2014 06:10 PM

Fu6k gutted for you!! When I clicked on this thread i was thinking please be not close to where I live, then it opens up and I see its Birmingham!!:brickwall

Hope they find it mate!! Did they threaten you or your family??:mad:

Prevention is better then cure,make sure the thieving barstewards can't get into your property in the first place.Sorry to hear about your troubles will keep a look out and forward the link.SJ.

theduck 10 April 2014 06:31 PM

They were in and out without us knowing about, very slick job and used a locksmith non-destructive technique to get in. Safe to say now I know about it though the lock is being updated to one that you can't do it with!

They are getting more advanced now,I never use to be into dogs but my two American bulldogs make me sleep very comfortable at night.and work in tandem with my house alarm.SJ.

In my experience the car should turn up ok eventually. Hopefully it's been pinged on mutliple ANPR hits.

Flush fit double glazing door locks for the win, so many homes are being broke into because of ****e lock designs on double glazing doors.

veerinder9 10 April 2014 08:33 PM

Sorry to hear mate. Thing is no matter how hard they make locks etc there will always be a way to get in. The actual people who invent these new types of locks will know how to open them with ease(obv) and when this information gets into the wrong hands then the damage is done. There's only so much you can do to prevent theft but staying safe is the most important thing and it's not worth your life.

bmw730i 10 April 2014 08:47 PM

Not sure it will turn up as cars like these are worth a fortune in parts, keep checking ebay for anything distinctive

bmw730i 10 April 2014 08:48 PM

Not sure how but some are exported

BLU 10 April 2014 08:51 PM

Just tweeted the link, all helps to spread the word! Hope you get it back.......

scooberuni 10 April 2014 11:27 PM

Tried that Facebook link you posted up but it says Facebook page not found.

urban 11 April 2014 11:51 AM

In all seriousness, would you want it back?

L.J.F 11 April 2014 12:45 PM

Exactly. Get on PH and work out how much it's worth against the current market ready for when the insurance claim.


Also start looking for it's replacement ;)

They are flush fit. They used a technique known as bumping, which does no damage to the lock but gets them in! I will be installing suitable replacements that are "bump proof"

I started last night, problem I discovered today is my insurance is now going to triple! I paid £670 to insure this one, my insurance company will not issue a new policy and best quote I have had is over £2000!

scoobyboy1 11 April 2014 08:16 PM

Bump your locks?? Did they lift your patio doors up by any chance?? a plastic block at the top of the door recess stops this!!

Had to break into my own house the other day when the missus lost her keys, took me 2 mins to get in, which is quite worrying!!!:Suspiciou

theduck 11 April 2014 08:27 PM

I won't link to it but it is scary and surprisingly way to get in.

I used to be a locksmith, so I know a few ways to get in!!:Suspiciou Probably best not to put on a public forum!!:wonder:

Any news yet mate?

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

theduck 02 May 2014 03:43 PM

Nope. Police havent assigned anyone to investigate as it apparently never flagged on ANPR. I've bought a replacement but moved away from impreza's because as much as I enjoyed this one, its simply not worth the risk of having another one stolen. I have reason to believe they had tried to take it on a precious occasion but got the wrong house!
