Hopefully my mate should get his cars back !
Sometimes best they aren't returned. When my father had downgraded from an Audi Quattro to a Golf GTi with a special import factory leather interior (it wasn't available as a factory option back in the late 80s), the Golf was stolen. Wheels, interior (natch) and suitcase sized mobile phone all gone. Lovely car (though not a patch on the Q in my 12 year old eyes), but he felt it would never feel like his again. Fortunately it was written off….

make sure he gets all the locks/ignition changed [/obvious]
That's a result. Be good to get the scrotes too. Does his insurance get loaded if they are recovered? Hope not.
Surely it would be pretty easy to have some kind of bait-car remote turnoff mechanism these days? Wonder why it's not common.?
Nope. Not envious in the slightest. Not exactly poor myself.
considerably richer than yow, in fact.
I had my car stolen and recovered a few years ago. I was glad to get it back but was surprised at the number of people who said they'd have got rid of it straight away.

It is common, but with 40,000,000 cars to select from, the odds of them picking that particular one is quite low 🙂

Its Rentons bestmate so relevant to the OP. If people don't give a **** why post on the OP's subject? Go and be bitter and twisted elsewhere?
Blimey, I'm in total agreement with Hora. Moofo's comment is about as relevant and interesting as those who spout "first world problem" at every opportunity. I can't be arsed to look but presumably moofo's comments are so amazing that they shouldn't be read at work in case you are incapacitated with shock and awe!
Glad your mate's got his cars back Renton. Not nice at all, especially knowing someone has been in your house.
My mate has been driving round the town
Bloody hell, how many cars does he have?
The other comment about living in a crap area is very untrue as well. They probably live in a very nice area, and the scum travel to the nice area for rich pickings.
Just not true, statistical variation of crime(car or otherwise) by post code is massive.

But the postcode could still be in a nice area. For example, I used to live in Harrogate (in a very nice area, it even has an M&S Food Store) just off the main road to Leeds and Bradford and apparently plod would regularly stake out the main roads just outside town - scrotes regularly visited to rob houses and cars then go back (yes, I was broken into, they emptied the house of everything of value - right down to a security light I hadn't got around to fitting, a scabby old microwave, bedsheets etc etc....)
Crimes are recorded by the area they happen not the home adrress of the of the prson who commits the crime.
Its not a difficult principle, if you think you live in a nice area but theres frequent crime its not a nice area!
