Unfortunately I got a set of my Aston Martin Vantage (MY06) keys stolen yesterday (amongst other things). Just wondered how easy and what the cost is to get a new set purchased/programmed.

Any information would be appreciated.

They took my travel bag which had wallet, passport, drivers licence and car keys....my biggest worry is that they have a set of car keys and my address where the car is kept (different address to where it was stolen from).

I'll start looking on eBay and other sites to sort out getting a spare set.

I've enrolled on Cifas and have managed to get some cctv of the people using my cards in the petrol and supermarket. Police advice was to change the locks on the car......!?!

Mike, as usual the fountain of all knowledge. I will e-mail you rather than use this website, but is this something you guys could do if I drop the car off ?

I did speak with Aston this morning and they have quoted for a complete key and remote fob change.

Not sure if this will be covered through my insurance or out of my own pocket.

This site and its users on the Aston Martin pages are all absolute stars and a credit to themselves.

I have never had the positive kind of responses when I've had other cars/user forums.

Its nice to know there's still good people out there, despite having the thieving scum pinch my stuff out my other car.

Big thanks !!

The car is stored in my garage which is locked and also has a garage defender lock. Furthermore, because I only use every couple of weeks at the moment, then I alway use the isolation switch to save battery life. Luckily I believe Locktons/Chubb car insurance are going to cover the cost of replacement keys/remotes etc. Just sorting with them today. I've just got to hold out until Saturday which Is when I head back to my property in Newcastle.

On a funnier note, on telling my mum that I had my clothes, travel bag and associated items stolen, she proclaimed "I'd only just ironed those jeans" Please note I am 41, but my mum still insists on running the iron over my spare clothes when I visit.............I have decided to stop trying to say no as she also has selective hearing...........

They only have the car keys, which is fortunate...... And I'm currently in Bristol and the only person with keys to the garage. I've spoken to my neighbours and told the police about the situation. Just going to have to sit tight and sweat it out. There are a few other reasons why they might find it difficult to locate the garage/car but I don't want to advertise it on here.

Unfortunately a down side to being single and working away from home.......
