about 5pm last night some person(s) unknown forced the patio door, walked through the house and took the keys ONLY to my 147GTA, let themselves out and drove away.
I loved that car, in the last 3months 15,000 miles she'd had cam belt, clutch, 48k service, EBC redstuff pads etc etc etc .....
share in my grief or kick seven shades of magenta out of whoever did it
sorry guys, I'm no longer an alfa owner

This is getting silly. I read more and more stories of people having their houses broken into and their pride and joy stolen.

I feel for you mate.

Yes it is worrying.. especially as they seem to be organized gangs and also prepared to use force and/or weapons.

I prefer it when it's just lads stealing Novas and Astras with a screwdriver... (well actually I prefer no theft but what can you do)

Yes, unfortunately car security is so good these days, it usually means taking the keys. I'm sorry that your home was also broken into, and with it further stress from this invasion.

I vote we legalise anti car jacking devices such as the flame thrower in South Africa and the spike under the seat which I think I saw in The Running Man!
