-Sorry if wrong section-

Performance exhaust manufacturer, Milltek have had an unfortunate incident at their factory, it has destroyed the car, a little bit of cosmetic damage to the factory, Fortunately no-one was hurt, but a list of performance parts has gone missing also! (i cant find the list of parts now, It would be good for PHers to keep an eye out for these parts being sold anywhere, if anyone has info on what went missing.

Obviously, anyone with info on this should contact the police.
(im no way linked to Milltek, its just sad news to hear about scum doing this)

So a theft covered up as an arson?

Or these scum went to rob the place, and just decided to torch the Mk5 R32 at the same time?

Morons.

Its not too un-realistic that some scum would nick what they can and torch the evidence, But some one must of known the stuff was there, Milltek have updates on FB etc so its not exactly hush-hush.

Im not implying anything un-toward, im just trying to spread the news to stop the thieving arse-nasist

or is it a Mk. 6 R? Perhaps it's the owner of a junior supercar taking out his vengeance on VW R products.

That destruction of their car is hard to swallow - but how hard would it be to make that phonecall to a customer?

Mebbe. Was thinking of all those signs in car parks, 'we are not responsible for loss or damage' etc.
