4 months ago i had my joy ( can't say pride as i never cleaned it ) stolen. The gits broke into my house and stole the keys.

Was thinking of getting another ( had scoobys of sorts for 5 years) but when it came to the crunch the thought of going through it again has put the mrs off ****....

Totally fecked off skoda Dti owner...

I felt the same when it happened to me, but 13 weeks of driving around in crappy vauxhall hire cars convinced me not to let the ******* win! New car arrives in 2 weeks!!

Buy another Scoob and get Blackjaxx fitted. That way even if they do take the keys, they will only get about 200 yards away before it kills the ECU.

There comes a point when your family's safety is more important than 'just a car'!!!

What if they broke into your house to get the keys, and it was only your wife or children at home? I know I couldn't live with myself if anything happened because of a car!

I use to have a the standard Cat1 alarm, Tracker Monitor, Disklok, Barrier Deadlock (locks into reverse), parked in a garage with an electronic door opener (no locks to break or pick) and the garage was wired up to the house alarm. This was all in a relatevely good area!! I was going to get a pull up pillar fitted inside the garage, so even if they opened the door, they would have to get round that! I decided against it as I thought I was getting a little paranoid!!

I don't want to have to think like that again, just over a car! At the end of the day, there are new M3's, Porsche 911's, etc parked on my road, but I still think an Impreza or an Evo gains more attention!

There are plenty of cars out there which are fast, but far more descrete!

Priorities have changed and I can hand on my heart say I don't want another Impreza, although another Subaru may be on the cards!

"Look at it this way if you work hard in life then you should have something nice to show for it".

RB- Couldn't have said it better myself mate! :-) Stephen, get rid of that Skoda and get yourself back into a scooby. If you're worried about a repeat incident, get Blakjax installed- even if they get the keys, the swines won't be able to take the car.

I'm with Mr.Tang. Get yourself something a little more stealthy.
