Arrived back from work this afternoon to find my back door demolished and house ransacked and my Golf GTI stolen!!! :( they've done a proper job on the house to find teh keys and not stolen much which makes me think they came for the car. (Mac book pro i type on now was easily nickable, but they didnt take it!!!?)
its a silver MK5 GTI reg PN55 AOH. Low on H&R Ultra low coilovers with 19" BBS CH's sprayed in Gunmetal (looks like anthracite but actually lighter)
Its has a JL AUDIO boot build with a pair of JL Audio amps on one side (500/1 and a 300/2) with a 10inch JL W6 Opposite.
Its been stolen from Enfield North London.

Could everyone keep their eyes open for it out and about or at any of the meets around london or hertfordshire essex or further afield also any parts you might spot on ebay or forums etc that would be appreciated.
Cheers

He is up near the M25 junction on the a10
Still completely gutted about this andy. I thought you were joking when you txt.
I spent all of last night looking at DIY gps trackers or one cheap idea is to install a PAYG mobile hidden in the car and then in this instance you could do a phone search and at least it would tell you the general area with a site like this http://www.traceamobile.co.uk/
Obv using actual 'tracker' would be best but thats £200 per year plus several hundred to install.
Hope the insurance is kind to you.

Yup Just at the top of the A10 before you get to the M25, around the corner form the Maccy Dee's. Worth keeping an eye out for 19" Gun metal CH's in the north london. They're a lighter colour than the usual anthracite refurbs that normally crop up.
Never take anything for granted people. too many scummy thieves about. :fighting:

Same thing happened to me last year.. Except I was in bed. :scared:.. Best of luck buddy.

Nice one buddy, cheers for that! :happy2:

made my stomach turn :sad1: I really hope you get it sorted and its returned without any damage. Keep checking places like autotrader and ebay incase they go for a quick sale...

Ok an update, the car was seized and recovered by the police. It spent just over a week in forensics and i had to make that nervous trip to the pound in Perviale to find out what condition it had been left in..... :sad1:
Amazingly it is in on piece :surprised:....well apart from the Forensics dust. Wheels are still on, installs still in, engines still got it's goodies attached. Only thing stolen was my Ipod and the case forthe head unit. The Police didnt even put a mark on it when they lifted it!
Lots of theories as to what happened/what was going to happen to it, but i'm waiting to hear back on the Forensics results. Pretty chuffed and fair play to the police for locating it so quickly! :congrats:
Onwards and upwards...with a shed load more security at home!!!
Spose i should update my build thread!
-
Oh and cheers again for you support guys...nice to know we have a good community of enthusiasts looking out for each other! :happy2:
-
Great News :laugh:
Do you have it Revo'd? I was just wondering if the thieves bypassed the SPS anti-theft function?
Glad you got it back in a good state. :smiley:
-
Nope, it's not been remapped- yet. Would have been interesting it that had been fitted actually.
-
:congrats: glad they managed to find it. Was lucky that the scum bags didnt put a mark on it.
Upgraded alarm now...
-
Yay!! :pomppomp: Not often a car is recovered these days in one piece. Glad its all back in the right hands. Now to buy a few doberman to keep your house company. :laugh:
-
Great news :congrats: :jumpmove:
-
fantastic buddy, super happy for you :happy2:
-
Great news on it being found and still in one piece. Let's just hope forensics find a match so they can't catch the them
-
good news. find a better place to hide your keys :happy2:
-
Like I said the other day... just hire a sniper to sit in your room overlooking the drive all day.
-
Great news, pleased you got her back. Makes a change to here some good news these days. Hope they catch the scum involved, probably get told off and a slap on the wrist, god I love our judicial system.
:happy2:
-
Glad u got it back mate, hate thieves :fighting: :fighting:
-
Love the look of this car, glad you got it back matey. You now need one of these in your life.
