    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?

    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.

    I don't appreciate your sense of humour right now.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    Here are the two stolen cars. If a mod could pop them in the first post and the location, that would be great.
