No Tracker was fitted - cops say Tracker is good. I will fit one next time - if there is a next time. Scoobies & EVOs are currently top of the hit parade. Used to be GTi. If we all fit Tracker they will move on. Cops don't even try and nick the nickers...too much effort. Easier to let the Insurers squeeze the owners into protecting themselves. Sad situation.

Unless the car is spotted on the move and checked or recovered and forensically examined,what other leads are there open to the police?
Sorry to hear its been nicked.

The 2 coppers who came to my pad on separate occasions to see what a wonderful job the Dark Side did breaking in, told me this. They go and recover the car if Tracker sez it is in Sainsburys Car Park. But they don't set up a sting and sit and watch the car, and when two guys who don't look like me get in, they don't walk up and say "allo, allo, allo, wot ave we ear then?" That's all I have to say about that.
A friend asked how the fuzz were about this.
I said nice, pleasant and ineffective.
The Thin Blue line is thin for a reason. Crooks are brighter, better paid, better motivated, better equipped, and have a much more exciting job.
And a nice pension in the Bahamas when you get to 40.
That's just my opinion, of course, after a car, motorcycle, and bicycle theft in the metropolis of Derby having only lived here 4 years. Their get up and go seems to have got up and gone.
They DID say that if we had caught the felons inside our house we could have kicked the living **** out of them, just don't use a gun or knife. Seriously.

GPS/GSM based devices are easily blocked and you can even buy a novelty in Maplins which will enable you to locate the actual unit in your vehicle (if you cant work out where it is within 10 seconds).
With regards to 'waste': I dont know. If the unit works properly (does yours? many dont), then it wont do any harm. Tracker only boast about their recoveries though, they never, ever tell you how many equipped vehicles simply disappeared.....

Interesting comments thanks. I have my doubts if mine is working, ive had mine towed once, no keys in ignition, and was in the workshop with battery off for 2 weeks and i had no calls, not exactly confidence filling is it!
Still i pay my dues each month, i would expect to get paid out in the event of a theft, unless there is a clause to say i need to prove it was active, i would argue they took my money and i dont monitir so how would i know if it was working.
Just my thoughts. I am suprised there was no tracker fitted in this stolen Subaru, since mine a few years younger was enforced to have one by every insurance company i approached

Quite a lot of insurance companies don't require a tracker any longer, Keith Michaels for one.

How did they get into your house to get the keys? As far as I can see it would be impossible to break into our house without smashing a window or breaking the door down. Genuninely interested.

must admit when getting mine and insuring it the tracker made no difference to the insurance quotes, but there again mines a common blob wrx, i suspect the more difficult to replace cars may be in a different situation. Any word on the car in this thread?
