Damn  :cry:

Out of interest, what security / anti-theft measures did it have?

Any immob / alarm? Or just as VW intended it to be.

No Alarm as such, fitted but non working, not that it matters because my windows are double glazed and you can't hear an alarm anyway.

It was very imobilised by a madferret design immobilser :) which I presume is why they got just 2 streets away.  :wink:

I was looking to get a pager alarm but hadn't bought it yet as the car wasn't in the best of states until I had sorted this engine out, anyway I didnt have the cash to get it yet.

I hope the insurance do the decent thing but I doubt they will.  :dontknow: It's been stolen twice before but they never got it more than a street or 2, guess it was only a matter of time.

Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated.

They probably wont even log it as a crime, local police arnt even bothered these days. It got broken into before and actually had one of them say that he'll not bother to log it this time.  :roll:
