Not this ste again frown if they want they will get usually by any means, mines always tucked away in the garage. Janesmith hope you get it back.
Indeed they have been twice for it, but both times got caught in the act and chased away, it's all a bit sad really the last time all they said was we're leaving as they ran away....

Generally just drug addicts being used by a criminal gang, sad state of affairs.

Ours was apparently an organized gang operating with a target list from a source (DVLA/Insurer or Finance company?) as some of the cars had never yet been on the road, just freshly delivered to the home...

There is always an organised gang behind them but they generally use low level drug addicts to do the dirty work, surprised they want the M3 as they generally go after the likes of the golf R and S3 as they can break them for spares and resell to the guy that wants the R/S3 look on his 1.4TSI.

Sad to say the M3 was taken last night from outside the house in Rawdon. They broke in at about 7pm, smashing the back door and taking the keys. Took them all of 30 seconds from door bang to car driving away.
Sorry to hear this, like you say it’s good that no one was hurt. Shame that there has been a rise in these types of break ins. Utter scrotes.

Which is what they did to me, however it seems a team from the core gang did me... but yes, ended in a chop shop.

A friend in Baildon had his Polo Gti ripped out of his hands on the drive by a gang with tazers and knifes, for the same reason, it's why I've always had M cars or Porsches as you can't do that with them.

Let's all stay safe.

Let's be blunt, it's fking st if you can't park your hard earned car outside your hard earned house without worrying about this holy st risk. The justice system now means there is a small risk of being caught and, if you are, the penalty is immaterial.

Agreed and it's awful to have them in your home or attempting to get in (as I know) hope everyone is OK.

Spotted that Cullinan. It doesn't look very good at all.

Thanks!

Did you see my comedy double-take when I looked up from adjusting the heater to see your car alongside me?

Your car was a refreshing sight among the normal traffic, looked very low and exotic.

Nice blue Fiat Coupe in Garforth looking sharp just now.

Lovely silvery blue (polar silver?) 911 993 seen ever day this week through Hoyland and Chapeltown area.

Forgot how timeless the design was, and how small they are
