Angry Silver WRX Import Scooby STOLEN last night in Edinburgh

Never thought I would ever have to put this post on Scoobynet but these things happen...

The only thing I do not get, how do they manage to disable the immobiliser?

Eleanor has gone...gone in 60 seconds to be precise...

Yeah - I watched 3 guys pull away in it, unfortunately the old cavi that I have didn't have enough power to get after them. Even if I did catch them, what could I have done!?

Cheeky buggers were even taking it nice and easy over the speed bumps before getting out of my housing scheme.

Worse thing about it all, the police suspected I was in on it.

Cant miss it, rear lexus lights, blitz stainless on it so its certainly loud enough. It's got the gold wheels, large spoiler etc

Looks as if the police have found it abandoned...

Need to wait and see what the damage is though.

Ha - someone definitely is having a laugh bro.

The Scoob was found and it turns out the guys that done it, parked up another stolen vehicle and decided to have a crack at mine.

The traffics were out chasing them on the bypass but could not seem to stop them as they had too much of a head start.

The scoob was clocked filling up at a Tesco petrol station - full tank (I asked if it was Super Unleaded but doubt it) and then found abandoned.

Eleanor will be going to Subaru tomorrow so know doubt I will find out the damage - fingers crossed it aint that bad.

Shout out to the guys that came to see me this evening - keep up the good work...
