Thanks for all the replies guys. Feels somewhat reassuring as I'm sure you can all feel my pain. This is my pride and joy, not to mention that someone has invaded my space whilst my family were in.

Police: Investigations have shown that it was a professional job.
Insurance: Absolutely fine with the dealings. Got the ball rolling ASAP both car and house insurance due to Laptop being taken too!

Feel your pain buddy really isn't a nice feeling!
They did very well to drill your locks without disturbing you! I do warrant work with locksmiths and drilling locks makes a right racket!

ill keep a look out for you buddy!
a mate of mine is a legal burglar (locksmith for repo) and its unbelievable how easy it is to break into houses, he can get past locks and open doors with a plastic milk bottle! ive seen him do it and ive replicated it. needless to say, ive got 3 set of locks on both doors, take no chances after seeing that

that made me laugh. I think I'm going to add a few more locks lol!
Lovely car, looking at the license plate i can tell it was an ex renault staff members car. Which means its been well looked after. Shame to lose one like that. This didnt come from the birmingham dealership did it? I recognise the last part of the reg.
If your looking to buy again, i'll try find you one at a good price if needed, i work for renault you see.
But hopefully you find the car in perfect condition!

Sorry to hear this.
Got a mate up at Stafford, travels to and from here so told him to keep an eye out for it.
Hope you get it back

Thanks everyone once again! such is life that i've not even had it two months!
I've been checking ebay, PH, gumtree, auto trader every 10 minutes but no luck so far!
With it being so new, I would prepare yourself for the worst I'm afraid. I had a two month old 205 Gti 1.9 stolen (with my personal plate also) from my drive many years ago around 4.00am in the light summer mornings. We heard it being driven off and we stood on the drive in the dry space where it had stood, in a state of shock – the police were alerted immediately. It never turned-up anywhere. I had to wait a month or so before I was able to order a new one on insurance. Sadly I know you will be unable to do that with yours being the last of the 200s. Of course I do hope you do see it again.
Ever since that time (even though no keys were used), I always have my keys on me and never leave them lying around and certainly not downstairs at night. If for any reason I'm not carrying them, then they stay in the safe. The house alarm is also activated for downstairs every night without fail.
Good luck – it was too nice to lose and I know exactly how you feel.
Im from staffs aswell mate i do alot of running around ill note the reg if i see it ill be straight on to you mate
Rather you than me. I leave the keys to my cars downstairs on the table. If they are determined enough to break into my house for my car, they won't think twice about giving me a kicking for the keys. As far as I'm concerned my car is insured, where as the well being of me and my gf isn't. They can take the car.

Id have to agree with this. A few friends of mine have had people kicking down doors in the night with weapons, f**k that for a game of soldiers they can take the keys.
I forgot to mention the mantrap on the landing. :boring:

This is terrible!! So many threads popping up like this on many forums!!
Seen an Audi rs4 broke into before and had the seats and wheel out of it, problem is parts are ordered off cars like this and they find it easier to take the whole car rather than just the seats for instance.
Hope you get it back in one piece fella.

Gutted to hear, hope you get it back or the insurance sort things out for you.
Defiantly this, we had someone put our door in 2AM in the morning not so long ago, Police reckon they were going for my old man 3MPS and possibly my 182. Our alarm is always on at night, thankfully scared them off. Worst case at least it will wake you up and you can protect yourself.

Sh*t. That's awful mate. Such a nice car too. Won't be hard to spot if it is on the move but it'll be a lock up somewhere.
Shame you don't have a tracker on it, could find out where the 200 is hiding, along with the perps and VR46-G@Z could try out his new driver on their noggins.
Hope you get it back, or get a replacement

No point in having a tracker if its been taken to order, hide the car in a shipment container and its done. They can then work on it inside the container and strip it down or ship it some where completly unseen.
This is why I disconnect various cables from in the engine bay.

Just seen this Fred. Thankyou ever so much!
unfortunately I haven't heard anything else on the situation just yet, however confident with the insurance company should I have to proceed with the claim. I just hope this doesn't affect my insurance premium too much, being a fairly young guy.
Just want to reiterate how you guys have helped the situation. So many views on this thread in such a short amount of time meaning it's got out to a lot of people, on various websites and networking sites. Thank you!

Really is sad news that people are so willing to do whatever it takes just to get a car.
Just out of curiousity, how easy were your keys to find

Recently purchased some UPVC Door locks which were Anti-Drill/Anti-Bump.
I could feel a call to the window company on what grade of locks they are supplying, as ours were £5.10 from eBay delivered for 45/45.
