Fiesta stolen from our driveway without keys, Birmingham
Discussion
Some bottom feeders broke into and stole (without keys) my other half's Fiesta from our driveway in Bournville last night, while we were in the house. And by last night, I mean sometime between 8:30-9:00pm. Car details:
BV15 KCX
Ford Fiesta Titanium
3 door
Deep Impact Blue
To rub salt into the wounds, by better half had only just filled the tank! We cannot quite believe this happened. I can't help but think the car was targeted given the risk of stealing it where/when they did. It's a relatively busy road, we have a security light, neighbours are close, and it was bin night, so people are typically in and out on the street through the evening.
A few friends have commented on facebook (in another attempt to raise the profile) that this has happened to a few fiestas with keyless entry recently. Is this a thing?! And if so, what will the car be used for?!
Needless to say, please keep you eyes peeled and DM me, or contact West Midlands Police should you spot it. And if you have a Ford with keyless entry, maybe consider a steering wheel lock!

Thanks for the replies. Still shocked it happened in the way it did, and needless to say, we haven't heard anything on the car.
To rub salt into the wounds, the badge on the front of my car was hacked off while parked at the station today. Utterly pointless and hugely annoying! I hope this is just bad luck on our part. Keep an eye on your cars though!

Hey mate, was this ever found?
If not - How long was it before the police declaired it unrecoverable?
I've had one knicked today from Asda Minworth, 12:15, broad daylight
Caught on camera, they drove up to the car, and was in it and driving it away within a minute
Reported to the police

Ours was never found unfortunately. Sorry to say that the police have been very little help at all. The only contact we’ve had was the incident support people, as opposed to anything to update us on the theft.
Insurers declared it irrecoverable after a month, and paid out.
