Kingster Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Had a crap end to nice meal with friends tonight. Some scumbag had the balls to walk into my house while we were entertaining, steal our coats and use the keys in the pocket to nick my car! Luckily it was not my beloved westy just the year old tin top. Not a happy bunny and still can't quite believe the sheer audacity of the thieving gits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Really sorry to hear that Chris, that seems to be the way cars are nicked these days,pinch the keys from the house. But look on the bright side, it will have been insured and no-one in your family was hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstreak-Andy D Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's alarming! Really sorry for you and your family Have heard of similar being done. As Nick says family are ok, which is number 1 priority. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanspoors Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Really sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing though, I have been previously guilty of leaving my door unlocked on occasions. Now I always lock my door and set my house alarm before I go to bed. It's never been so attractive for thieves to steal with such ridiculously lenient sentences given by the courts.

Captain Colonial Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Can only echo the above Chris On the other hand, does your partner AO Nick have an alibi? He's a bit quick off the mark to express his sympathies - makes me a bit suspicious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Do the police think there is any chance of getting it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff oakley Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 There will be little chance of recovery. The cars stolen like this are usually to order and will be either stripped already or in a container on the way to Romania or such like. We have door alarms on our doors but locking them is the only real way to stop this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's terrible. Where was your 'security hound'?

Andy - a15cro Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Bad news Chris, they have the nerve for anything these days because theres no serious deterrent or consequence to their actions if they get caught, thieving scumbags.

Kit Car Electronics Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I bet they left finger prints all over the place, but I also bet they won't be gathered What was the car, Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy (Sycho) Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Scumbags! I had simlar thing a few years ago, just hope you don't have the hassle I had with insurance company etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Terrible news Chris, but as the others have said, at least you and your family weren't harmed directly. Fingers crossed you get it all sorted out ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonk179 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Really sorry to hear this. We have an alarm that bleeps when any external door opens although if they come in and you hear and confront them it may end up a worse situation. The best solution is as said earlier in the post to lock doors at all times but what a reflection on society that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks for the comments folks. Still a bit dazed to be honest, not much sleep last night. All new locks fitted at 3am by emergency locksmith and garage secure. Hoping insurance isn't a problem as that really would be a worry as the car (Honda civic) was only a year old and on contract hire. Found the coats earlier while walking dog and police have them for forensics. Neighbour has the actual theft on cctv at 18.47 last night just as we were all having a pre dinner drink. We actually heard the door and assumed a guest had failed to close it on the way in and it was just the wind. As has been said though, it's only stuff and we are safe.
