Great news and hearing what you're saying about security. It's easy to get complacent. I do lock mine, mostly.
And while we're on the theme (apologies in advance for duplicating thread). Here's summat I found today.

its good to hear you got your car back clive. hope the scumbags have been caught and brought to justice. i am currently undergoing some home security upgrades due to two recent attempted breakins on my home within the last month. the police have said they are probably trying to get my car keys. i know what i would like to do to these thiefs :mad:

Darren, get a tracker or a device that will shut the car of as they drive of. A big f*ck off alarm, a huge dog, a shotgun and 999 on speedial as well as CCTV.
My brother in laws mate had five guys come into his house in broad daylight and steal his RS 4 cab. On the Audi S/RS forums a car is stolen almost monthly! :(

Superb news Clive. Just hope she's in one piece :)

amar when i bought my s4 avant i got a tracker for it but the best item i got was an anti-hijack imobiliser. whever they steal the keys from home or just hi-jack me at the lights it would just allow them to drive about a mile away then it would cut the engine and sound a very loud alarm. was fun when i let people take it for a test drive. it was the best device i bought +++

I'll second that! +++

Darren,

You got details of the device? Might consider one too :)

Tracker & Immobiliser
 

++Me too! Details please+++

cant remember how much it cost i just remember spending £700 for the tracker, anti hijack imobliser and a nokia hands free car kit.
think it was the same as this one http://www.autowatchonline.com/211hi.html

Recovered!
 

Sorry for the late update guys, but I've been a bit preoccupied with this and other matters since - the good news is that we got her back, we've made her better, and she's back in safe hands :)

Thanks for all the support and advice +++
