After 2 years of being parked on the street in Central London, the day I sell my classic Scoob, some piece of **** decides to key one entire side of the car.

These morons have no idea how much danger they place themselves in when they do stuff like this. If I had caught them in the act...

Stolen badge. Unknown idiot launching a brick at the car damaging rear passenger door. No other incidents.

It's hard to believe that there have been over 1000 views to this thread and only 187 votes in the poll.


Would I be right to assume that the majority of people on Scoobynet are lurkers or non-Scooby owners or is it that people don't want to know how serious or not crime against Scoobies is?

I did this posting trying to find out if our Scoobies are safe or not, lookslike its a flop.

Ah well, back to the Hutch !!

Burst into house, lifted keys. Car gone, despite me trying to stop the vermin. Got it back (scratched, dented, and probably used in some sort of criminal activity) about 4 days later. Then took 6 weeks for the insurance to sort it out and get it back on the road.

Rear wing keyed by (I suspect...) a neighbour due to parking outside their house in a street.

May have been worth having

1. Aggregated Theft
2. Aggregated Attempted Theft
3. Aggregated Armed Theft
4. Aggregated Armed Attempted theft.

Bob, is that like aggravated theft, but sort of all lumped into one?

dietbruboy

I would have thought so - it's quite an aspirational car remember.

So far, nothing [touch wood] but my past MINI's were shocking...

COOPER
- rear badges nicked (£20)
- keyed on all four sides the night before trade in (£650 repair - dealer did it at cost)

COOPER S
- badges front and back nicked in first month (£30)
- dented bonnet second month (£230 repair)
- spoiler ripped off three weeks before trade in for WRX (£200 repair)

Like I said, shocking.

Or.... 187 people keep coming back to check the thread

little_idiot

6 weeks into ownership and someone keyed it - passenger wing, front and back doors down to the metal

I had an 03 Impreza WRX for 6 months and had no bother with it. That only had the factory fit alarm on it too...

Just bought a 53 STi Prodrive, but decided to have a few "extra" bits of protection added to it - hopefully nothing will happen to it... it does tend to stick out a bit more than my old WRX...

ukdave

Had no trouble so far mainly due to the fact that i only leave it at work and at home,if im goin in to town i take me dads fiesta lol,now and again its unavoidable i suppose and you gotta leave it parked somewhere for a while but never really happy about it,and always a bonus when its still there when you get bk lol(mind you still got sigma m30 on the ultimate alarm-sometimes cant get the ******* thing started meself dependin where its parked lol (new alarm soon)

Pink/light red STi badge stolen once. £34 to replace it!

Sti light covers attempted to be removed but they couldn't get them off; cracked the cover in the process though!

More votes today please !!!


It's not looking that bad, a lot of Scooby drivers reporting no criminal activity.

The more votes I get, the more accurate the outcome will be.

How do I change my vote from 'Impreza Classic Nothing to report' to 'Damaged'?

Went out to the car this morning and some barsteward had smashed the n/s/r door window. Glass everywhere and the trim above the window twisted out where they'd levered with a screwdriver. Also the front pasenger door lock destroyed, again probably with a screwdriver and the surround levered out and busted, another screwdriver mark above the door glass.

Loads of bits they could have nicked but nothing taken, WTF!

Spent the day clearing the garage an it now resides in there with a Chrysler Voyager 3" from the garage door. Most of tomorrow will probably be spent looking for parts to replace the busted bits. Then another day or so fitting them.

Rant over

Sorry to hear about that. Mindless W4nkers.


Let's have some more voters on this poll please.

hey all...

i have to say that being a loyal servant of Her Madge, i normally have armed guards and growly snarly dogs protecting my MY02 WRX PPP, but after reading some of the posts on here about peoples houses being broken into, i was very concerned when i went back up north to see the family about parking outside my parents house, so i parked it across the road down a little side street which was still well lit but wasnt outside any houses, so i guess would therefore give a potential thief no idea which house the keys were in...

it is in a quiet cul de sac though which leads me to wonder how thieves target cars parked in driveways, etc...

grouch

They would probably follow you and watch from a distance.

never make a detective would you ?

alwong

Ive had my spolier ripped off on tuesday night but the arsehole thieves didn't get away with it as my alarm went off and woke me up. Really annoying and over £1000 worth of damage!!

redwrx

I had my side window put through, in an attempt to get the door open ....


i bought a snap-off removable steering wheel kit, ..when i get out, steering wheel comes too.........

brihoppy

i am a copper actually, mate...what i meant was do they target specific areas, cars, vehicles in driveways or on the street, etc, etc...or is it purely random...i must admit im not up on car crime but i was wondering if my car for instance in the situation i described would be less at risk than say one parked on a main road or a car park...?

brihoppy

and im talking about random chav scumbag thieves, not organised gangs...

Dont worry Big-G, ive cast my vote.

Classic Impreza - Stolen

Every1 here knows the story, but im glad Ive got her back.

kinda like going back to ya partner after they have cheated on ya. It looks the same, feels the same, but you know somebody else has been riding it

brihoppy

Poor Guy
