Sorry you've gone through this OP although, I will say, I'd be more scared that someone had broken into my house...that's something you don't get over easily, I know that doesn't help, but your car will be insured and it's replacable including the contents, mentally, things are not that easy to get over.

Good luck op, hope it gets found in one piece and the scum at least get a decent stretch.

I have reported to the police and the insurance straight away

Sorry to hear this happened, although I wouldnt hold much hope from the police. Sisters house was broken into and car stolen, was spotted by a relative a few miles away parked up; called the police and told them the location, and they still took 3.5 hours to come. In the end we got fed up of waiting and just drove it off with the spare keys. Absolutely useless they were. If its not found just claim from insurance and get another one. Scum of the earth have nothing better to do than spoil others lives.

Have you reported it to the Police? (more so, your break in as they may be able to find fingerprints and trainer marks etc) and Insurance Company? that's the first thing you should be doing, sorry to sound harsh, I understand you wanting people to keep an eye out, but the first steps you should be doing is reporting it.

Thank very much any help is welcome we just want it back and the baby's stuff

3rd Apr

Sorry I have to ask, what exactly was the baby's stuff?
You keep mentioning it.
Was it something sentimental or particularly valuable?

3rd Apr

Sadly VW’s and Audi’s are magnets for thieves. The reality is the car is likely in a shipping container on its way to Europe by now (Eastern Europe) which is where most of the stolen ones end up.

I hope you have reported it stolen and of course claim for all the items in your car.

Hi suleyman. sorry to hear your news , I hope you managed to get your house secure again during the bank holiday weekend . Looks like the guys above have given lots of advice regarding your car , hopefully you will sort it soon via the insurance if nothing else . Completely agree with maccy, it's the break in that would bother me , possessions are replaceable , peace of mind more tricky in such circumstances .

3rd Apr

I'm sorry to hear about this. Don't worry I'm sure your insurance will pay out but I know your insurance may go up so your stressful at the moment .
Thank God your wife and child wasn't in the car then, think of it that way.
While the break in, what if they went upstairs demanding jewellery and gold? Again you should be pleased that didn't happen so ignore the baby prams etc at the moment Suleiman.

Where did you get this information from that most stolen cars end up in Eastern Europe?

But 6 year old ones? If you're gonna steal the keys to take a car for profit, you might as well break into a house with a 2018 Polo outside?

3rd Apr

Agree with deeky, cars that are shipped abroad are generally stolen to order and are luxury marques like Merc, BMW, Range Rovers, high end Audis etc. but a six year old Polo highly unlikely.

Did they not Rob the house, why nick a polo worth naff all. Strange folks.

You are assuming that it's Eastern Europeans, there are some homegrown scum aswell.

I’m not blaming all Eastern Europeans here just stating that it is easy to get cash for stolen cars on Eastern Europe as there is a market for them either whole or in parts.

You should post that as a deal.
A hot deal indeed.

Too many replies, so not sure if anyone has already said:

Put it on Facebook marketplace. Someone who stole might be looking to offload. PLUS it increases awareness. Hope you get this resolved.
