Mine was stolen a couple of years ago. Never found.
Wish I knew what happened to it, but didnt want it back after it had been nicked.

Yeah, I live just off the A610 near the old Commodore. The post code is Basford. I'm now driving around in a 1.3 sky blue Ka so give me a beep if you see me around, ha ha!
Out of interest guys, do these scumbags nick our cars for joy riding or to sell on? I've heard different opinions. At first I assumed it was just joy riders but thinking about it it's alot of effort to go to for a joy ride and seemed fairly well planned! They even waited for a rainy night so that we didn't hear anything. Any thoughs?!
Also, if the insurance company pay out (long way off I know!) do they go off the Parker's price guide as I've been told? If so, the value of my Clio is only £4,800 which I know is way below what I'd get if I sold if privately. I would expect more like £6,000 for a 53 reg with only 35,000 miles and a full renault service history. Any advice if it comes to that?

At least when mine was taken on 7 Jan this year, they broke in while we were out at work.
Luckily it was found the next day, 1/3 mile away.
All I had to do was change the locks...so it wasn't worth claiming on the insurance.
The reason they took mine was for a quick getaway to wherever their 'other' car was. We were their 4th burglary target in two weeks in the local area so the plod new it would turn up eventually, circulated the pictures, and everyone kept their eyes open for it.
Drove fine when I got it back, undamaged, just minus a few things inside.
Hope you get things sorted...it's a horrible time!

There is a way to claim for profit loss, something similar to GAP insurance, and you can claim off any company as its a legal matter; doesn't matter if they a clause to get out of it.
Its the same way that if your car was stolen/recovered or in an accident you can claim for profit loss as its not going to be worth as much at resale due to CAT D or C on the books.
Your best talking to an accident management or someone who would have a advisor that knows insurance companys inside out
Hope ya get it all sorted!

I think it should be law that if someone breaks into your house and you catch them with your car keys in their hands you should be able to hack them to death with a kitchen knife.
Just me
If someone broke into my house, i'd be using my 'le creuset' frying pan that my mum can hardly lift. I'd guess it'd leave them with enough brain injurys that they couldn't testify against ya!
Failing that, I do kickboxing and if i did kick the crap outta someone i'd make sure i had a few cuts too so it'd look more like self defence(Which it actually is!)

I don't think that makes much sense :S

It might sound like a load of crock to you but there is a so called list going round, ie some one has been watching gone in 60 seconds too much.
Also the reason my car is not on wheels and is missing the battery aswell at the moment. Past couple of cars ive seen about at the moment that have been nicked have end'd up in aspley i could easily find out if its the usual tosser. Dont know of many that burn them out anymore, usually in a garage ready to be used another day so you might find one some where.

as stated above it will only be stolen and recovered if they don't find it before you are paid out, it only gets that title if its sold on as salvage because you have been paid out for it.

No way, near that yellow ph2? I live off David Lane in Basford.. Will be doubly careful where I leave my keys now! Prob best to make sure my housemates Rover 25 keys are more easily accessible

Hope you get it back ok, Lee?
Though I agree with you, I don't think I'd want it back. Hopefully the s**t-for-brains driver doesn't realise the lack of ABS, looses control and hits a tree before bursting into flames.
One can only hope that they are trapped alive at the time and not simply knocked out.
I wouldn't even waste tax-payers money on them in prison - if they were caught. 9mm round to the back of the head. Be done with them - the complete skid-stain on Life's Undies that scroats like this, clearly are.

I put my keys upstairs but i have often wondered if they really wanted the scoob they would prob come up stairs to get em.
Mind you its a 3 storey house so they would have to walk past my mates room first and get past etc.
Id love em to try tho. I wouldnt bother with the police id just phone a ambulance and leave em outside.
hope you get it sorted mate.

Sorry to hear that, hope it gets found....in a ditch with them dead in it!! Little Sh*ts.
I always wonder about this scenario as my car is VERY reluctantly parked on the street as I live in a flat, but fingers crossed it's been fine so far. The good thing about living in a flat is no one would know who's car is who's to break in and nick the keys! Bonus!

If i was breaking into someone house i'd prob be tooled up so a swift bat across the dogs head and it'd be out cold anyway...

Yeah I live on the new housing estate on Bar Lane, very close to the Yellow phase 2. I go past that car most days, stands out doesn't it?!
I still haven't heard anything from the police about my car yet. Starting to think it's probably got false plates by now and has been sold on to some other scumbags! I realised this morning that they also took my new tax disc that came through the post the day before, I hadn't had chance to put it in my car!
A guy at work says a Clio V6 was stolen from his neighbour 2 months ago in exactly the same way as mine. Hasn't seen it since!
On the bright side, the house insurance have already paid up for a digital camera, i-pod, wallet and the tax disc. The money's already in my account......I would definitely recommend Lloyds TSB insurance! If only car insurance companies paid up so quickly!

Just read the full story about your car being stolen. Sounds very similar to mine. Bunch of w*****s!
So you had to wait 2 weeks before making a claim and then how soon was it until you actually had the money in your bank? About 8-10 weeks? Hope you're still enjoying your CTR.
After reading about all these cars being stolen, I don't think I'll buy another decent car if my cup isn't recovered. I fancy just getting a shed that I don't have to worry about. I do motocross so can get my enjoyment out of that and my Dad has a 350z that we both do track days in. Not sure I can go to bed every night worrying about my car from now onwards!
A4 DTM/iceberg cup
same here. like to see someone try it tho. got added benefit of knowing enough people in my area as well.
theres always someone that has seen something........
feel for anyone thats lost their pride and joy.
booby trapped cups ftw
porsche 944 - 80's ftw!
It'll only say that if they find it after the insurance have paid out / agree to pay out
Insurance wouldnt pay out anything for your car (apart from if its been damaged in the process of being stolen) unless its been recovered around a month or so after the date of theft.
Even if you get a insurance claim on a stolen car it doesnt always mean it shows up on a hpi check.
Ive had cars before that were stolen recovered and wasnt recorded on the hpi register at all.
I've heard of people doing this for cars like mercs and Jaguars
but a fookin 172 ce cup?? No disrespect but hardly seems
worth takin the risk for....
Think of the fat insurance pay out your gonna get and then you
can go out and buy another cup..
I know its a wounder but at least you will get a new one...
And at least you never got hurt in the process..
Never confront someone if you dont know who they are how many they are you dont know what lengths they will go to.
Not unless you got a Baseball bat or some sort of weapon i wouldnt rely
on kickboxing alone lol
