Bumper Stolen (to order?)
Discussion
Went out to the car this morning to find some toerags have stolen the front bumper. Absolutely fuming.
Very specific so presumably stolen to order.
No CCTV overlooking the parking area, small chance the Barratt sales office has CCTV and would catch them leaving the parking area but wouldn't get detail - unless they were in a van. Not holding out much hope though.
Worrying thing as always, if it's stolen to order then they may come back for other parts.
My local VW dealer (Vindis in Bedford) told me there have been a spate of VW thefts recently but they thought it had died down.
Obviously police not interested beyond a crime number.
If you're offered a black Golf R front bumper let me know.

Only yesterday my neighbour was telling me about his daughters neighbour having a bumper stolen from his/her Golf R in Marston Moretaine.
Seems such a common thing for many models.
Could be that your neighbour’s daughter’s neighbour is me 😁Seems such a common thing for many models.
Hopefully have my car back by the weekend, a courtesy Nissan Micra is no fun at all.

Sorry to hear this... I've seen the FB post and picture...
This is becoming more and more common... Years ago it used to be 3 series bumpers (I know someone that lost 2 sets of BMW bumpers)..
If I see or hear anything (I'm near Bedford) I'll let you know....
It did. I had the bumpers and skirts nicked from my E36 M3 Cab back in 1997.....sold the car shortly afterwards. This is becoming more and more common... Years ago it used to be 3 series bumpers (I know someone that lost 2 sets of BMW bumpers)..

I lived a 5 min walk from a VW dealer at the time so popped in and asked the salesman if they had any used Golf GTi's as I couldn't see any on the forecourt. "We have to keep them inside as we've had parts thefts from them at night"....so I went next door and bought an Audi A3 instead........
