P1 STOLEN FROM HEREFORD 6TH April

W708 RPG
18" OZ Prodrive wheel
1 Rear Mudflap missing


My mates had his P1 stolen from his driveway in Hereford.

The car was up for sale so he reckons a so called potential buyer got his postcode and took it a day early. They found the tracker on the estate road.

Not looking good

The owner has both sets of Keys, they never entered his house, car was taken whilst he was asleep and NO car alarm went off mad

He had finnished cleaning it 11:00pm and he woke up at 3:30am to find it gone. Later he found out a friend from up the road (1/2mile away) heard at 2am it blat away friend assumed it was him up early and in a hurry.

Tracker unit was found by Police damaged on the roadside not that far from his house.

I'll tell him to keep an Eye out on ebay


Edited the top Post with a bit more detail someone was well in the "Know" and well equiped

It was a tracking Device, not certain if it was a "Tracker" or "Trackstar" hence the small t in tracker.


1) tracker systems are good if you have 2 Crims will look till they find one
2) Worst kept secret (positioning)
3) Technology, Technology easy for theives in the know once found FUBAR
4) GPS big aerial easy find
5) GSM mall aerial easy to block
6) Money better spent on Mechanical things like Dislock and Dipol
7) Then invest rest of money in GAP insurance

IMHO

You know you can get those 'snap' off bosses so that you can take the steering wheel away...are they worth getting ?
