As per title, stolen from house in Nuneaton in early hours of this morning (4th December) - thieves broke in and took the keys for the car. Any sightings or info PM me. Thanks all.

 

That really sucks. Gutted for you. Hope everything works out for you.

 

Found.! Car located via tracker this morning. My friend is delighted. Apparently thieves nowadays leave the cars they take somewhere random and watch them for 24hrs to see if their trackers are active. Makes you think twice about paying that subscription.

 

excellent news!

 

SUPERB NEWS!!!!,To all the naysayers of trackers,this proves there worth.Congrats on getting it back.SJ.

 

That's great news! Congratulations. But will you want to drive the car now it's been stolen and marked on insurance? Not sure I'd bother paying for a tracker for that reason..

 

Why wouldnt you want it back?People steal things every second of the day,"whats yours is yours!".SJ.

EDITED!!! If he got it back like this clip i could understand but as long as it was in one piece unmolested,"ALL'S GOOD".

.SJ.

 

The thieves probably realised it had the dreaded 2.5 and decided it wasn't worth the hassle

Jokes aside glad to hear it's been found.

 

Out of interest, did the police turn up when you reported it?

 

Good news that he has it back. I do understand where corno is coming from though.

Wonder where he'd stand if 2 weeks down the road the engine let's go because of damage caused to the engine. You know those thieves didn't poodle around at 30mph, car would of no doubt been driven on the very limit bouncing off the limiter.

 

What should really be done is leave the car where is is and initiate 24hour surveillance on it, and arrest the b@stards when they come back for it.

 

Agreed.

 

I don't,Were talking about a car here not a piece of *****.What's he suppose to do with it scrap it?If it was mine i would be screwing mad that it had been stolen,but more then happy that i got it back.SJ.

 

I also agree with urban,but knowing how the police work,it would just take up to much of there time solving all of there other cases.SJ.

Edited for missing smile....

 

Lol yeah right, that would involve the Police actually doing something to catch criminals, no doubt the owner can expect a couple of speeding fines in the post some time soon though.

 

.SJ.

 

We'll from what I can gather our friend insisted forensic evidence wasn't looked for until he turned up with the spare keys, didn't want any real damage done by the cops.! He's pleased just to have it back, apparently one scuff on an alloy. As for it being thrashed, perhaps if it were stolen to order it's been driven subtly to avoid detection, never know...

 

Very good last point.. but what kind of a numpty wouldn't abuse a car like that if they had only one chance!

 

Good news

 

I agree with you on that 1 point that all car thieves are bonified Numptys,but atleast if it was rinsed (driven hard),a Subaru can take a certain amount of abuse hard driving as that's what they were built for,and not just driving about miss daisy.SJ.

 

If someone had took my missus out for the night on a "Test drive" I wouldn’t want her back! I don't agree with trackers they are an insurance company cop out imo

 

Agreed. Whilst a well maintained Subaru will take some abuse I wouldn't want it back after it had been twoced. I doubt the thieving scum would have had any mechanical sympathy or waited for things to get up to temp.

 

I'd rather it never found and then take a cheque off the insurance company.

 

The 2.5 can't take normal driving nevermind any sort of abuse.
Perhaps they dumped it when they realised their mistake and it wasn't an evo after all just a look a like with a poo engine .

 

With you there - whilst I'd be gutted to lose what I had put into the car in terms of man hours, I'd sooner start fresh again

 

You're on form today Dan my old mate, that's twice you've made me chuckle....

 

I had my RS6 stolen from the next street at the same time that the Subaru was taken. It was done by the same gang as I heard the scooby scream off behind my 6.

Mine as yet has not been recovered. Our 50kg Ridgeback woke us up as they came round the back of the house. This didn't stop these boys still breaking an entering. The dog was only 10ft away from them and they stood their ground and had the keys anyway.

They weren't your average kids taking them.

 

Got to be a late December and serious entry for the


Scoobynet post of the year

 

It's a sad world we live in these days

 

How did they get the keys?
