My car was stolen last night

JupiterKid · 11-09-2011 03:31PM #1

...and I'm still in shock about the whole thing. I just went out about an hour and a half ago to collect a mate from the airport and the driveway was empty of said vehicle.

It is a 12 year old Mazda 323 but it was in very good condition. I expect it to be stripped down and burnt out somewhere by now.:mad::(:(

Bad luck OP, it might be found, did you report it?

11-09-2011 03:33PM

Same happened to me a few years ago. 6am, going to work, no car! Saw her a week later burnt out in a field. Sad times!

Stripped of what exactly? It will be joyridden and burned out, nobody wants your smelly auld Mazda.

that sucks OP, have you been on to your insurers yet?

JupiterKid · 11-09-2011 03:39PM

Yep - I phoned the Gardai and in fairness thay came over pretty quickly to take the details down. It's also fully insured but I'm gutted that it's gone.

I doubt I'll get it back intact. Being realistic, it'll be stripped down for spare parts and burnt out somewhere.:mad::(

Evidently that is not the case.

Give us the colour, year and county, and last 2 digits. Let's see if boards can spot it :cool:

My car was stolen 14 years ago... Turned up 3 doors down from my grannys house :eek:

Worth about 800 euro, could be worse could be a brand new car op.

Stolen from outside your own home?

Yep, stolen from my driveway. I had a few good CDs in it as well. It was also broken into a couple of years ago.

How's that supposed to help the poor fella now with no car.

Sorry to hear about the robbery op. Feels horrible finding out you have no vehicle cos some scumbag decided to have a bit of fun.

Feck, the warning signs were there so i suppose, do you mind me asking what part of the country?

TheZohanS · 11-09-2011 03:43PM

Could be a hell of a lot worse OP, afaik theft won't affect your no claims bonus so it's not too bad.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 11-09-2011 03:44PM

How old are you op?

Are you sure you didnt leave at the supermarket or somewhere?

Im just trying to cheer him up, least am not telling him what he already knows.

the_syco · 11-09-2011 03:45PM

OP: please post up pictures of it, the year, and the last two digits of the reg plate, as well as the make and model.

Someone here may see someone with a car they "just got". And with several thousand people on this forum, there's a chance someone may see it.

Castleknock in Dublin 15. It could be worse, at least I and my housemates are OK.

im invisible · 11-09-2011 03:46PM

So, your mate's still waiting at the airport, then?

She's from coolock - she doesn't know any better!

the_syco · 11-09-2011 03:47PM

Also, the reg doesn't have "WX" in it, by any chance?

when my motorbike was found it had been crashed so that cheered me up a bit thinking that some cream cracker hopefully hurt himself on me poor bike.

What cd's were in it, probably worth more than the car.

gargleblaster · 11-09-2011 03:56PM

Is there a chance it could have been just for a joyride? You might still get it back in not too bad a shape. Here's hoping so anyway.

Clanned?
That's wanton man. At least they had taste, the cunts.

It happened to me about a month ago, my car was 11 years old, the guards told me the reprobates are going for the old cars because they can't start the modern cars that have immobiliser etc.

It was eventually recovered but burnt out. Although the car had a value to me, I would have got 500 for it on the market and I got my settlement and to be honest I did very well and it wont effect my no claims bonus.

They will give you a valuation on your car, reject it, and they will make a little bit of a better offer at least they did with me.

Bad luck,,but good luck with the business of settling with the insurance.

Edit; Also I found this out 2 weeks ago, if your car was destroyed you CAN claim back the motortax, just ring the motortax office and they will tell you how to do so..

I hate to tell you this but a month has passed and every now and again I am looking for something, then I go "Bollox" I realise THAT WAS IN MY CAR AS WELL.

The most recent was an overdue library book. Its only when your car gets robbed and burnt out you realise the amount of things we leave in our cars.
