Polo G40 Stolen!!!
« on: January 20, 2011, 12:32:22 pm »
Please help,

I have had my beloved Polo G40 stolen during Wednesday night (19/01/2011) from the Stoke-on-Trent Staffordshire area. It had the reg K135 KNW, is white with the G40 badges on the front and rear with white Pirelli P Slot alloy wheels with MK5 centre caps. The windows were etched with the reg K1 STF.

It is all standard except for the cone air filter and wheels, the rocker cover and throttle is sprayed silver, it has pressed number plates with Wolfsburg surrounds. If any parts come up or the whole car is spotted please contact me on 07543 597295.

Many thanks

a standard mk3 was stolen yesterday too, its up on clubpolo.

really bad times, id be making sure everyones cars are alarmed, immobilsed and if in a shady place, unplug something and take it with to homebrew immobilse it.

my heart goes out to you guys who have your pride and joys knicked though. i just really hope this isnt some targeting operation

They tried to steal mine a couple of years ago! No luck for those @ssh0les as my car was missing the clutch cable!  ::) The thing to take out though and really mess them, is the gear link! 1 bold and no transmition for them to drive away, plus an 1 minute job

Bloody hell!   This is looking a little too conincindental now.  Staffordshire and Sheffied aren't too far away.  Gang Related possibly, stolen to order?  Some pretty mental scum about, who have no morals at all.

Has the other guy got any details yet? i.e. has it been burnt out, parts turned up on forums? Who is this guy and when did his go missing?

Cheers guys

Shit news.  Although I live miles away still a concern that several have been taken and another was nearly taken.

Thinking out loud but if they were taken by 'joyriders' (love it.. makes me feel old!) the cars would have been ragged then dumped / burnt. So the remains would've been found by now.

It really does seem like they have been stolen for parts etc by an organised group.
But then if I was running a car theft ring I would focus on 'better' cars, more modern stuff that has better 'resale'.
Not properly thought out tho as where will they shift the parts on?
Here?????
Good luck!

Do you think the standard one was mistaken for a G?

This is really bad news. I'd be surprised if these were being stolen to order or anything though really, I'd have thought such people would be after much higher value cars really.

I hope it turns up
