Video - My 3200GT getting stolen

[Mattserati]

As promised some weeks ago, I have managed to upload the footage of some little prick "borrowing" my Maser for a few hours. You might be surprised how quickly these things can be stolen. There is a about a minute where nothing appears to be happening - that is while he was breaking into my house to steal the keys. Anyway, have the car back now, better than when it left, have a brand new much more secure front garden, and chalk the experience up to one of life's little lessons,
Enjoy,

Will have to see this when I get home mate, same thing just happened to my step father in london.

[Mattserati]

Oh, and believe it or not, the bingle he has as it reverses out of the driveway didn't even leave a dent - I was stunned when I saw the car after having watched the video first - fully expected the whole back end to be hanging off.

[miyagi]

did the police catch him?

[Mattserati]

Absolutely - he is currently serving 12 months, and every night I go to bed in my nice little house, thinking about him playing "mummies and daddies" with Rastus.

Glad they caught him and glad you got your car back.

What is Rastus BTW?

[225]

Hope they catch the bstd! why the feck did he drive straight back into the white car!? Mind you we are talking about the mind of a car thief..

[Mattserati]

Rastus is the 7 foot tall, well hung black guy that I hope he is sharing his cell with. I can see myself getting into a racial debate here, so I unreservedly apologise if me generalisation causes any offence, and use the words Monty Python in my defence.

I thought thats what you meant!

Amazing footage... What is incredible is that the scum-bag put on the seatbelt, got himself all nice and comfy - and then reverses off the drive and backs into your neighbours car..!! I assume that yours was a manual (?) I wonder if he could have found "reverse" had he got into my Cambiocorsa.. Nice to know he got caught and is now playing "pass the soap".

[Mattserati]

All things considered, I am glad I don't have a Cambiocorsa - with the way the plonker drove, I would probably have had to shell out for a new front room as well as the garden upgrades. On the plus side, I may not have slept through it in that case though.

Glad the tt is locked up

Three things strike me about that sequence..

1. What about the deadlocks on the Masser, he got in via the window but the doors should still not have openened shirley.
2. Why didn't the Masser alarm go off.
3. The car he hits whilst reversing out, why didn't its alarm go off either.

My 97 plate 3 series car had deadlocks, but "they" still got in with a screwdriver within a few seconds!

[Mattserati]

Easy answers really:

1. Doesn't have deadlocks, just locks.
2. Doesn't have an alarm, just immobiliser.
3. See answer number 2.

As I said though, one of life's little lessons, and security has been stepped up significantly since.

[LittleBro]

I cant believe how unruched he was! Did this happen when you were in bed? The little Glad they got him. As someone rightly says above, the guy certainly isnt thinking straight.

Nice car though, glad you have it back and in one piece (Nero/Tan? Nero/Avorio?). Nice TT too!

[SCOOTERMAN]

Absolutely - he is currently serving 12 months...

Whereafter six months of regular meals and a fierce guarding of his "human" rights, he'll be out to do it again, and again, and again...with left-wing ponces justifying his existence witH "But he's had a misunderstood childhood" and other such BS, with him bragging to his "Blood bros" that he "nicked one of dem mazer-things innit well fast yeah mate..."

Cretin. Here's hoping he crashes the next car he nicks (and lets face it, there will be others) and gets trapped inside, slowly but oh-so-surely burning to death, as his "blood bros" look on, helpless...and no doubt stoned out of their tiny little minds.


I admire your dedication to your car: if it were my car, there'd be no way in hell I'd want it back, knowing it's been thrashed and thus "Soiled" by that waste of DNA. That said the people who broke into my first car also tourched it, and I longed for it back for months afterwards

And thats why you need a tubi fitted - better than an alarm !

[pwig]

Thing I don't get is, why didn't he just steal they keys in the first place instead of breaking in first?

[bertie]

Did the police use the video footage to help prosecution?

[AlexHancock]

Glad you got the car back and some comfort from his jail term.

I used to have a 3200 and your video reminded me of how nice they sound
