Not the best way to start your Scoobynet posts. Sorry to hear that. Feel for you, as many will on here. Hope the scum who nicked your motor rots. Always a tuff choice whether to take a car back that has been stolen/recovered.

What is this country coming to..... I am having to spend over £3000.00 to have CCTV and alarms fitted at home, just to try and deter the scum bags, who are mostly pikeys around here. (Berkshire!)

Hopefully it is a one off but I have said to my wife should something like that happen to ours I would without a second thought get rid as our safety etc is far more important than owning the scoob, and you can buy less desirable cars that do a similar job

Lets hope things are all ok for yours.

i may be wrong on this m8 but if the car has been used in a crime , ie robbery then i dont think you will be getting the car back it will be going to the crusher, sorry but thats what they do with cars like this, or at least they used to, hope for your sake im wrong, all the best buddy.

Had the same thing with my Focus RS, the *******s tried twice to get in and have the keys away, I have now rented a council garage close to my place and put the scoob in there I never leave it out the front of my house.
I also got one of these, pikeys dont like em at all

Hi there,
Welcome to SN and a shame your first post is under these circumstances!

It is not just Scoobs, i think you will find the 3 series is the most stolen prestige/performance car (may be wrong here) but a lot of nice cars get nicked.

Sadly, with car security systems getting better all of the time the weak point is the driver/owner either in the car or at home, as in your case. All you can do is make it more difficult, this will not solve the problem just move it to someone else.
Serious penalties for this sort of crime will help, an overhaul of our criminal justice system is need really.

Look at blackjack or such like.

At least you are OK!

Sorry fella but your quite wrong there. I know this because i once bought a car that had been used in two armed robberies on supermarket kiosks, i bought the car for the interior to put in my other car, and to sell the rest parts and made my money back.

Welcome to the site, hope its not long before you get it back

You are quite right ... we get the Pikeys round here ... looking around

This greets their noses at the window:-

'Do You Feel Lucky Punk?'

They really do NOT like 'em

German/English ... her grandad is in all the GSD books - he was UK Champion He has a mark on his tongue - and ours has the same mark!

Excellent temperament and intelligence ... very fine bloodline - pretty expensive too, but well worth it!

I was really meaning KC Reg name, It looks like a Khansville or Videx to me.

pslewis

I could look it up .... I know her KC Name is Oriana Bright Star, any help?

Think you are wrong on that point. Mine went 'AWOL' for a few days (some years back), and was apparently used in a crime. Got it back (and kept it), although it took ages for the repairs (which were mostly cosmetic, scraped paint and minor dents) to be completed due to the lethargic efforts of the insurance company.

Kelwick, don`t let the scum beat you and spoil the enjoyment of the passion you have for Subaru Impreza`s. You have just been unlucky in being targeted by these low life, also nobody is too old to have a passion for sports cars and 50 isn`t even old anyway as look at the amount of rally drivers that are still driving at the top level around a similar age.

Age is just a number and your as old as you feel, this 90 yr old is signing off with flu now as 90 is how i feel at the min .... Sorry to hear about what happened.
