Alert RS owners Recaro Bucket seat thefts

Post by Pjj » Wed Dec 26, 2012 11:20 am

My RS4 was stripped of its Recaro buckets, steering wheel, etc a few days ago while parked in Chelsea. They broke the passenger window and my guess is the alarm will have gone off hut that it was unnoticed since it was parked in a side street.

I have since learnt that there are three other cars parked up in a west London dealer with a similar fate!

I just wanted to warn other owners that their cars are a target and that there is a gang operating in London. Further curious as to where these parts are heading? I guess out of the country.

Not an ideal way to have kicked off Christmas - complete scum. :FIREdevil:

Thanks for the heads up, are all the dealers in Chelsea area or west London? Its more than Likely that the ppl committing these crimes read these forums.
