Ian Lanc Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Always some b*astard breaking into cars 😡 🤬 😡 Utter scum they are. Hope you get the car looking like it was never tampered with, our old Pug' got attacked with a large screwdriver & hammer, they got disturbed halfway through but still managed to nick the stereo and gear lever, they left the screwdriver & hammer on the floor, door lock & surround was a right mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the mk7.5s are stolen like this, smash the lock so they can unlock the car, open the boot as this won’t trigger the alarm, then plug into the OBD to start the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah jammed the lock and the little storage hole at the side of the steering wheel was open where the obd goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tongue in cheek answer because of another thread that was running at the same time where many people were stating how dangerous keyless entry is because that's how all cars are stolen, allegedly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gutted if I’m honest, I look after my car even park at the other end of super market car parks to avoid the door dingers, I think I’ve source a colour match handle cover and I’ve ordered a new cylinder. I’ve also bought a steers wheel lock and a clutch Pendel lock too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
