Two cars Stolen! [Meath]

tview · 26-11-2015 11:55am #1

Hi everyone. Both my car and my wife's car has been stolen overnight. We live in Rathmolyon co. Meath. Silver VW Golf-12ww284 and Silver Lexus is200-00D49420. Please contact Trim garda if you spot the cars. Thanks. Will try to upload some pics.

Scumbags! Did they break in?

tview · 26-11-2015 12:02pm

Both keys were in the kitchen. No forced entry. We are both still in shock.

So the house was open and they simply walked in???

SteelyDanJalapeno · 26-11-2015 12:04pm

Are they keys still in the kitchen?

tview · 26-11-2015 12:09pm

Hey guys tnx for your concern.Would appreciate if you can keep your ears on the ground. @CJC NO the house was locked. How they manage to enter the house to get the keys,is still under investigation.

Pictures would be a real help OP, as people usually don't keep reg's in their memory.

jesus

sorry to hear that

fishing rod through letter box?

Could be key bumping too.

A lot of cheaper house door locks are easily defeated with the right know how

lawred2 · 26-11-2015 4:49pm

wtf

Wossack · 26-11-2015 5:36pm

possibly even easier then that.. after a break in, and noticing some scratches around the door frame, we reckon folks broke into my parents house with a strip of metal from a coke can (dad was able to replicate with such). Inserted in and around the door jamb, and pushed in the latch. Just like they used to do with credit cards in the 90's tv shows :eek:

Locks replaced with features to prevent that, and chubb always on now..

Bumping is noisy enough, would they do that in an occupied house?

That is highly likely. Was entertaining that possibility as well.

Maybe I'm not seeing something as I'm on the phone but.... Did a poster ask for pics of the cars and another poster gave pics of the keys?

No worries, you will always find some gob****e on here trying to be funny

glued · 26-11-2015 7:15pm

Do you have any pics?

I'll be in a few car parks in Dublin over the next two days so I'll keep an eye out.

tview · 26-11-2015 7:28pm

I'm trying to figure out how ad some pics in the thread.

Put them up on imgur or equivalent tview.
Then link them.

Henry Ford III · 26-11-2015 7:33pm

An awful thing to have happened OP. I'll try to look out for these cars.

Just attach the images by clicking the paperclip symbol on the top line of the new message pane.

Hope you get them back soon.

Polo_Mint · 26-11-2015 7:44pm

Doesnt the OP need 50 posts before he can add links?

Toyotafanboi · 26-11-2015 7:49pm

Go to postimage.org, upload the pic, copy and paste the link here, someone else can embed the image from there

bear1 · 26-11-2015 7:55pm

What did the insurance company say? Also id start looking at maybe installing an alarm in the house. Possibly even a cctv camera on the driveway.

True, bolt that stable door good op.

MojoMaker · 26-11-2015 11:07pm

What a cnut about the Golf, but who the fcuk nicks a 15yr old skanger-me-banger.

Long gone to the M50 and beyond I'd say unfortunately tview. Probably worth claiming for the Golf if it doesn't show up.

Any distinguishing features - alloys, body details, colour etc?

mhackett102 · 26-11-2015 11:12pm

Might be worth calling eFlow and check did either of the cars go through any of the tolls. Although I doubt someone travelled from the other side of the country to nick your two cars, but it still may be a possibility.

I hope you get them both back in your possession sooner rather than later, and in the same condition as they left your driveway in.

Was thinking the opposite.

I can see why someone might steal an IS200, being easy to steal and easy to have a good time in.

Why on earth would someone steal a diesel golf? It's probably much harder to steal and even then it's still a diesel golf. You can be sure they didn't steal it to appreciate the door shut noise. The only probability is to sell it as parts.

Surely if you've the keys for both it's trivial.

Sorry about that. Very insensitive on my part. Best of luck getting your cars back and I'll keep my eyes out for them.

Polo_Mint · 27-11-2015 11:33am

Im in Kildare

Is there any pictures of the cars so i know what im looking for?

Shannon757 · 27-11-2015 9:16pm

Any update yet?

Tigger · 28-11-2015 12:02am

i take it you have had both those cars in the same garage recently
keys cloned
address noted
cars gone

or if the keys are gone do you have a house key that was on the same keyring?
seems unlikley that it was random

colm_mcm · 28-11-2015 12:25am

Keep an eye on donedeal fir similar (but not necessarily the same year) golfs

BMJD · 28-11-2015 6:04am

Same thing happened to a friend of mine in Trim a few months ago too. No sign of either car.

Yakkyda · 28-11-2015 6:28am

Key cloning is a serious problem here. It's very easy to get it done without proof of ownership. Too fcukin easy tbh.
Also it's not high end cars that are being targeted so much these days, volume selling cars are nicked for parts as the parts sell quicker due to the volume of them sold, ie, the market is there because of that fact.

Key cloning is a serious issue though, if you know the registration address and registration number, it's shockingly easy to get a coded key done without showing proof of ownership, either through a main dealer or other less reputable sources.

StereoSound · 28-11-2015 9:29am

Isn't there cheap tools on eBay that can get around cars immobilisers? Code generators or whatever they are called.

Jaysis .. vag cars look to be very easily bypassed if those listing are to be believed.... eeek. Hope they work as well as the bmw/Merc airbag tool I bought once - ie pure crap.

tview · 01-12-2015 1:51pm

Thanks for the replies. Just to update: Still no signs of the cars. I'm not going to answer any questions that i feel ,might jeopardise the ongoing investigation. No success in uploading pics as well. I can not reply as promptly and frequently as i would like to, life's just a bit crazy right now.
