Sad thing is they'll probably be never seen again. Probably a gone in 60 seconds style order!

I do hope none of those cars belonged to any customers, if they do my heart goes out to them. If they ever catch them they should chop their fecking hands off and nail them to their foreheads.

However there is part of me that is saying what goes around comes around. I had a very bad experience with xtreme around 2 years ago when I bought EVO VI TME off them that was described as collectors condition. It turned out that the car had been in a shunt and had been badly repaired on closer inspection with rust appearing on the boot. I travelled all the way from France and also bought a set of original TME wheels and tyres off them to the turn on nearly 3k as the car didn’t have the original wheels on. Let’s just say I ended up 6 grand out of pocket plus loss of earnings as I’m self employed.

I re-iterate again if it’s any owner’s cars that have been stolen my heart goes out to you.

Thieving b**tards,five minutes from mine aswell,will keep my eyes open but would think these cars will be long gone.

I believe all the cars were currently for sale. Their pics appear on the site. The showroom now showing a very empty scene.

Scary thing is.... none of them show as stolen on HPI at this time. Not that you usually buy a car like that cash on the same day, but possible eh.

The Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 997, one of the Evo IXs and a Scoob have now been recovered. Sounds like the Police are doing a pretty sterling job!

* All have been recovered around the Birmingham area it seems!*

The FQ400 (which i forgot to list) has been seen driving round at high speed in Wolverhampton, running red lights etc today. so if anyone sees it give the Police a call!

If you have issues with Xtreme i am sure you should take it up with them, and not hijack my thread

ukdave

Think thats a bit harsh mate aint as if its changed the direction of the topic in any way-if i`d been fcuked over on a car i`d bought off a place then something bad happened to em later i think i`d be almost thinkin "serves em right"-i admit it seems doubtful as its ralliart uk(used to be)but if thats his experience of em he`s entitled to his opinion as far as im concerned.

Dont think the intention were to hijack the thread at all.

Local newspaper update:

Top sports cars snatched in ram-raid: Express & Star

Thieves broke into Xtreme UK Ltd in Lye, near Stourbridge, just seven minutes after staff had left for the day just after 5.30pm on Saturday.

Just over three hours later, ten top cars – including a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Porsche 911, two Subaru Imprezas, three Mitsubishi Evolutions and a Renault Clio V6 – had been removed from the showroom.

A truck was used to ram open roller shutter doors and CCVT pictures show the cars being taken out during as many as seven trips.

Managing director James Challis discovered the cars had gone when staff came to open up yesterday.

He said he had at first envisaged being the victim of an “Oceans Eleven” professional-style job involving scores of people.

But Mr Challis said he now believed the raid at the showroom on The Old Forge Estate industrial park, Dudley Road, only involved three or four people.

He said: “There are things that keep cropping up that just make me think that.

“For instance along with the cars, tea, coffee, sugar and cups were taken, but more expensive computer equipment was left behind.

“And our CCTV seems to show that the thieves made as many as seven trips to and from the garage to take the 10 cars over a long period.

“We have electric roller shutters and it seems to me a truck was used to ram them after the thieves had got in through the front door and smashed the alarm.

“The cars were then driven straight out – but because of the amount of trips, I would say no more than three or four people were involved.”

Mr Challis believed the thieves would have been watching the firm.

Three of the cars, including the two most expensive, the Porsche and the Lamborghini, have already been recovered by police.

The Lamborghini was found in Parkfields, Wolverhampton, while the Porsche was discovered in Sedgley.

Anyone with information call CID on 0845 113 5000.

Good that they have been recovered

Will they have to be declared as stolen recovered now for selling purposes ?

Feel sorry for Extreme.

At least they seem to have only been taken by amatuers and most of the high value cars recovered.

Sonic'

According to the story the alarm was ripped off with the roller shutter being ramraided

Does raise a question that the story also suggests that it was only 3 or 4 people and they took their time taking the cars having to come back for them, and sounds like they made a brew too

Seems a bit odd that no other alarms seem to be in place, especially if it was amateurs who stole the cars

finalzero

These guys most likely stole the car's (using the webcam and other details to get a feel for the premises) however couldn't sell them on for quick profit as they hoped so drove around in the cars (including their mates) trying to workout what to do.

Odds on

They started the robbery only 7mins after the building was locked up as well.

They were brave or......

7 of the cars have now been found. All within 10 miles of Xtreme apart from the Lambo which was found in Tamworth.

All that stands now is the FQ400, one of the Evo IXs and an Evo V

I'd check local garages for the EVO's. They must need a service by now surely?

All sounds very odd to me. Stealing such prestige motors without having a buyer lined up and then just thrashing them about town. Unless of course something went **** up after the job. When I read the top post I thought the cars would have been in a container and long gone...

Also, a roller shutter and an alarm to protect over £200Ks worth of car??

markGT

If you care to read my post I feel sorry for anybody that has their cars stolen. However I can't bring my self to feel for sorry for Xtreme after the terrible experience I had with them. If that’s hijacking your thread I apologise.

This was not a pleasant read! Nothing is safe these days... on the bright side at least most have been recovered now... and its only time before the other three turn up... will keep my eyes peeled though, doubt that would be of any help since im in London and it seems the cars are still local and the w***ers are still ragging them around brum.

Found a report by the BBC on this...
