hi dudes,there is a crew going round kicking your front door open for your car keys they are going after high power cars,the way they are doing it is they follow you home in there already stolen car,wait till late then just come through your door,the police were chasing them round kirkby on thursday in ford diesels,the gang had managed to get an evo 8 rs4 and an r32,dont think the plod caught them so take them keys to bed wit u or let the dog mind them

Shounds familiar as it's been going on for a while.

I remember a mate with an EVO and nice 5 series. They broke in through the kitchen door, backed the BMW off the drive so they could get at the Evo in the garage. Took it to a side street in Litherland and left it. It was found after a few hours in good nick, locked up and no keys. Turns out they leave the cars parked "normally" to check if anyone comes after it having activated a tracker.

In my simple view on life, the keys can stay downstairs. I pay Mr Insurance far too much money to have me or the family woken up by some crack-ridden nutcase hell bent on taking the motor. The car is special but still replaceable.

i agree, and with gap insurance, im hoping they do take then torch it, then i'll get a plus for same money !

Not if you've got a B5 unfortunately.
