Clio Dci
sorry to hear your car got nicked.
i will keep my eyes open.
not the most subtle of cars on the road in that colour.
couple of my mates have had houses broken into and cars nicked, also for cars you would not even class as stealable, like a 307 hdi. apparently police told him they will take any car less thean 4 years old.

Story is as follows now Ive calmed down:
Car was parked on front. 3 guys around house one goes into back and takes keys, not by back door on centre island in kitchen. Parents here car moving off drive off drive. Dad opens front door and car is on street as this point and guy with southern accent shouts " were nickin your car mate" Car only had about a fivers worth of juice in it so checked local garages no luck. end of story!!!

Having lost my 182 last week, I can in some way sympathise with you mate. These people are the absolute scum of the earth.
One thing I would say is that at the end of the day, your insurance will sort the matter out. When people have been saying this to me recently (about insurance) i was more gutted by the fact that I'd lost 'my car' not just any old 182. But ultimately it is replaceable and despite possibly being a bit out of pocket at least you didn't get stabbed (these sort of people wouldn't think twice if u tried to get in the way).

mine go in my pocket
I wrote my car off on the M6 so slightly different way to lose your car.
I generally try to keep my keys safe, but at the end of the day you shouldn't have to hide them in your own fukkin house! Its easy to just leave your keys on the worktop because you just don't expect this thing to happen!!

Agreed, i used to leave my keys for my valver on the sideboard (the car was always out the back, so no one really know it was there)
Now I keep my keys with me (my car is still out the back, as is my dads 172)
If they do decide to try & find them they'll get a bat round their head & i'll make sure they can't walk once i've finshed.

Shhh
Id rather leave the keys downstairs if i went to bed.
If they broke into the house for the clio, then if they cant find they keys id be sure they would come upstairs. There is not just me in the house, when im here there is mum, dad, and my brother (aged 16), then sometimes my niece. On the odd chance the gf stays with the kids, so you could add another 4 people into the house (kids, 9,7,4) and id rather not put them through anything over the car.
If they have come to the house tool'ed up and id rather the car be taken than anyone be harmed. Not wanna wake up in the middle of the night to a knife to my throat of something, or the same thing to my family.
So is sleeping with the keys a good idea.? You be asleep and they coming for you.?

Hiya, Saw this posted by Danlp6 in Retro-Renault. Sorry to hear about your car :dapprove: makes it all the more shocking when it's in your area. Thieving scumbags :evil:
I live in Wigan and will keep my eye out - just incase it's still local. Where abouts in Wigan do you live?

I had my 182 nicked in same circumstances and the police told me to keep leaving my key's downstairs,because you don't want people coming upstairs looking for the key's that's when stabbings/beatings happen.
The police never seemed to be bothered to find the car and instantly convinced it was leaving the country,because remember it might only be a £10k car in England but in countrys where they don't import Clio Sports there priceless.
Any way feel for you mate,but the insurance will sort it and if it's less than 12 month's old,most policys are new for old.So you should get a nice new gleaming one,and if there are no longer available a good payout.
Goodluck.
