    Horrid to hear. There's some parasitic low-lifes around, aren't there?
    What's the recovery rate in your part of the world?
    2007 VW Polo GTi, white, standard. First registered in Japan, imported to NZ 2010. Owned since Dec/10. Love at first drive.

    Also sad to hear about it, I thought late model VW's were quite hard to steal without the keys

    Not very good. And to be honest I kinda sort of hope they dont find it, because it's like having a car thats been in an accident and repaired. Never the same....

    Likewise - I thought you needed the key/transponder etc ... Did it have an alarm system?

    One of the members on here had his skoda stolen a few months ago, apparently they broke into the house when he was sleeping and stole the keys

    What the seem to do here is bring their own ecu and keys, break open the lock open the bonnet and swap the ecu, and then use their keys to start the car......

    I say this because another mate of mine almost had his car stolen a while back, and that seemd to be what they were in the process of doing, because they had stolen his ecu......
