Hi all,
Sadly this is the 2nd one that's been taken, last night 20:20 i pulled on the drive, turned the car off and went to get out. I was pulled from the car by 2 knife wielding men that drove off in the car.
Tracker has been activated but 12 hours on I have heard nothing??
Black B7 RS4 Saloon
VRM YB06 DXO
Completely standard car with no marks on it, gutted!

Sorry to hear this. I hope the f**kers get caught then have the knives shoved up their ar**s and twisted.
Where was it stolen from so we have a better idea of where to keep a look-out.
Never a good time for this to happen but even worse so close to Christmas. Hope you get some luck with it.
Alex

Forget the car it's just a metal box at the end off the day and can be replaced.

Gutted for you. They sound like pros who have been watching your address to see if you got another RS4.
If the Tracker signal has been lost then I wouldn't place too much hope in Tracker finding it - that's usually a sign that either the Tracker has been found and removed, or the car has been put in a place where the signal can't get out.

I'd search out underground car parks and the like in the vicinity of where the signal was lost.
Chances are that they've parked it up somewhere, and will wait for the heat to cool.
They'll be watching it as well mind you.
Underground carpark will be their hiding place of choice.
Never worth getting stabbed over a car? ...any car.

That's what the police said re being stabbed, I can't believe tracker can't find it, how can someone find the device and disable it?
The police expected it to be found quickly as there have been a spate of similar thefts recently where they have parked the car waiting to see if the police recover it, I thought tracker could cover underground carparks? Containers etc?

So close to what's supposed to be a joyous period as well, this couldn't be further from that. Sorry to hear
1st jacking I've heard of though, but at least it sounds like it was just you affected & the fam were kept mostly out of it. Is this the 2nd theft from the same home/address? Sounds like they may have your number & it maybe time to move out & find somewhere new to live

Spoilt my Xmas tbh, but at least I didn't have the kids in the car!
The last one was taken from my business premises August 2010, it's documented on here, I've only lived at my current address since October

Sorry to hear this, I'm glad you're okay. It is really scary, and what you said right there 'lucky I didn't have my kids in the car' is why my sister stopped owning nice cars, she had an S6, S4 and top of the range BMW's, but now drives a five year old Vauxhall Astra diesel after people broke in to steal the S4 when it was just her and my baby nephew (now three) who was just under two at the time at home, they couldn't find the keys to the S4, so took her BMW 535 instead, she had only got home in the BMW with the baby in the back about 10 mins before they took it. Shat. Me. Up.

Gutted for you mate, but as others have said the main thing is everybody's ok. Hope they catch the scum that did it. At the risk of sounding thick though, where is Oldbury? I'm getting increasingly nervous about this sort of thing even here in relatively sleepy Cornwall.

I hate stories like these, reminds me of the sort of scum we have around. Oldbury is near Birmingham.

That's a shocking thing to have happen, it's enough to make you paranoid.
I live in sleepy Aberdeenshire and we've had a spate of Audi thefts, although they've not needed the keys.
Hope they burn in hell.
