Thats really bad mate, it's never good to have a car nicked but to have someone in the house too.

I know what you mean about leaving the Mrs alone, as you my job means i'm often away from home. My Mrs also used to feel uneasy some nights. She now has a Knobkierrie beside the bed (Iyole will know what these are) as well as a few other bits and bobs handy to help her sleep easier. The laws have now been relaxed a little about protecting you home from uninvited guests so a damn good thrashing with a golf club or simiar she be alright not sure how you'd get on with a Beretta s56 over and under but might be worth investing.

Dreadful news :( Glad you are all OK though, and that's the most important thing.

The only way to deter scum like this is to make the penalties harsher :mad:

I've said this before, and I'll say it again... Do not publish photos of your car with number plate and area you live in on an internet forum.

Sorry for your bad news, the worst part is definitely them being in the house, the car is just a car and can be replaced, it's the mental damage that is always the worst part

That does suck Neil, I've seen this car in the flesh and it's lovely. I think you should spruce up security and get yourself that D3 4.2 TDI you keep thinking about. Main thing is your okay, plenty more 8s about. +++

... The Rs4 struggles to get 200 miles to a tank ...

Cost aside which is less of an issue, I just couldnt be doing with a car that impractical !! :rolleyes:

If they broke in for old a8 keys they'll defo be back for an RS4 on the drive! One of the most stolen cars around, irrespective of age. I just wouldn't go there unless you can put it somewhere else

Agree with Ian on range/practicality side as well
