911 thefts make me nervous about buying one.
Discussion
Hi all,
I am finally in the position of being able to fulfil a lifelong dream of purchasing a 911. I have a deposit down on a Carrera S 992, but instead of being excited, my overwhelming emotion is anxiety at my home being subjected to an aggravated burglary.
I live in Birmingham which is a bit of a hotbed for theft at the moment, with videos daily on community FB groups of thieves stealing cars from drives remotely.
I know the 992 isn't a keyless entry car, and we use steering wheel locks on our cars overnight, but these solutions almost make the situation worse as any theft will need to become aggravated and I'm nervous for my wife and daughters at being subjected to something like that.
I know Audi's and BMW's are highly sought after for parts reselling, but is anyone able to provide any insight into the theft stats/likelihood for the 992's in the UK?
It's such a shame to be made to feel this way over something you've worked so hard for.
