Attempted theft : Golf R
Discussion
Just had a horrific experience on Tuesday night, couple of thugs is all I can describe them as tried to break into my house on Tuesday night for the Golf R.
We woke and raised the alarm but the brazen scum then casually walked round to the front door and smashed the front door window in with a hammer.
They were not bothered that we could see their faces and neighbours were beginning to be alerted to the noise, lucky they failed to get in.
Casually walked over to their stolen Audi TT and drove off to attempt the job elsewhere.
Make sure if you have a garage hide your R, I think they must have clocked my car sitting outside.
This was in south Lanarkshire area just outside Glasgow in a quiet housing estate.
Good news is after another two identical attempts that night they were caught.

Not good news at all. I'm glad you kept the car, but I think I'd almost prefer they got in silently, took the keys/car and left without putting my family through that sheer terror of witnessing the actual break in.
Until the courts crack down HARD on these types of crime, almost to the point of handing out ridiculous sentences, these scumbags will continue doing it... although I guess the same could be said with all crime.

I was thinking that myself driving into work today but it make’s me angry that these scum think they can smash their way into someone’s house and take what they want.
Also didn't help driving it into the garage last night a pot of paint fell onto the bonnet, now have a lovely dent FFS.
Still processing the whole event really my head is all over the place.
Seems it was a gang who have been stealing to order for a few weeks, police have caught most of them now so hopefully they can link all the crimes together and put them away for a few years.
Time to beef up the home security I think.

I agree. Prison sentences are meant to serve as a deterrent. I'd happily see said individuals serving 10-15 years and so would most law-abiding decent folk I would imagine.Until the courts crack down HARD on these types of crime, almost to the point of handing out ridiculous sentences, these scumbags will continue doing it... although I guess the same could be said with all crime.

Damn., A work mate was saying how he drove a friend home late one night to get back to notice the Golf R was missing.
House had be turned upside down and 2 massive kitchen knives were taken out of the kitchen and were found on the beds up stairs.
A few electrical items taken, but it seems the Golf R was the target.
