STOLEN: 2009 VW GOLF TSi

STOLEN: 2009 VW Golf 1.4 TSi - FL59 UWX

Last night someone walked straight into the house my parents are living at, straight past 2 guard dogs and ransacked the bedrooms until they found the keys to my stepdads Golf. Stolen from Cossall Village in Nottingham in the past couple of hours.

Identical to the one in this picture.

Anyone with any info please call 07733430886. I know there are quite a few Ilkeston/Nottingham lads on here.

Not really guard dogs are they?

And it's always Jay reporting them, he's trying to throw the scent but I'm on to him :detective:

[blackie_2k5]

Special phone number..

[Oli-VTR]

Any chance of a reg? Painfully common car

[Oli-VTR]

Can't read it's there. Will keep my eyes open

[simmo]

I'll ask around the bilb/aspley/brox area. If it was someone from that aide im sure someone i know will know!

Cossal is too close to home :(

:panic:


In all seriousness mate, hope you find it and its not already in bits somewhere!

[GolfJay]

Quick update.

Another local Golf has had the number plates tampered with. Police think it was attempted theft to cover up the identity.

No doubt get another phone call later saying it has been used in some crime or other...

[manta]

Just like a golf!

Hopefully you'll get it back, which is probable due to it being as dull as porridge.

Why are some people incapable of knowing when is a time for jokes?

My parents were held up in the living room while robbers trashed the house looking for the keys. Downstairs is fucked and they then trashed upstairs before finding the keys and stealing the car.

Fucking terrifying!

Have some common sense for fuck sake!

[LSOfreak]

strange how they were so keen for that car?? if they were after the keys for a top end car or high performance car then it would make sense

Maybe they had a reg number already to clone onto your one,bad times mate.

I understand this matter is in no way funny and I don't condone anyone's jokes.

But I think the reason behind them is the fact the car you're looking for is rather common....extremely common.

The internet is great as tool for trying to find stolen vehicles but it only really works if the vehicle stands out...say for instance the japspeed Subaru.

I doubt many people would bat an eyelid at a standard red golf driving around.

I genuinely do hope the car is found and your parents are OK but I doubt this thread will get the responses you'd hoped for.

In my case it was through lack of reading the full post.

[Gandi699]

Dont mean to sound like a dick but why didnt they tell them where the keys were to save them trashing the house?
Were the robbers tooled up?

[blackie_2k5]

And I w

[blackie_2k5]

And I wasn't joking, I thought the number was too long, once realised it wasn't I'd lost signal to edit

[Prickle]

Is this someone elses or your parents Jay? :wacko:

Either way, hopefully its back in one piece.

Why didn't your parents just tell them where the keys were?

did they not have any common sense?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Yates]

im mega confused, who goes to the trouble of doing that just for a 1.4 golf? is it badged up or something?!

[GolfJay]

I don't know all the details as my parents were to shaken up to talk.

However, I don't think they were told what they were after.

The car is a TSi Turbo'd, Supercharged. They're by no means slow cars. Equivalent to a 2 litre I believe.

Only posted it here as we have quite a few members from within 5 or 10 miles. Maybe they'll see this, see a Golf in an odd place and think "Hang on a minute"

More bothered about my parents to be honest but still, worth a try!

[Stissy]

National forum and people know and mention crack town UK in threads. haha. :y:

[devilsadvocate]

Unless the car has sentimental value, give up trying to look for it and claim on the insurance.

[Jizanthapus]

Will there be a Crimewatch reconstruction?

[Viper]

I thought you were a security guard Jay?

[W343NNA]

Cossalls village is posh!, guess its a target area though, But why wearnt there doors locked, dont understand when people dont lock there front doors in this day in age ? i used to get the shit ripped out of me for always locking my front door even when people are in.. ?

Ill keep an eye out for you

Guessing you have reported to police and they have come to fingerprint your house?

Have you got a crime number? so if anyone sees the golf and calls the police they can ref it.

glad your all alright otherwise.

[Mochachino]

Theres 85 of them on autotrader, is there anything unique or specific about your parents car which you could use to distinguish theirs from the others in case they have different plates on?

His parents won't be driving it?

[Gibbo-Vtr]

Actually seen a red golf today fly past me on the way to work as i was going through Trowell.
But it could of been any red golf, first one I've seen in that colour though :detective:

EDIT; Also i thought i seen that VW Camper in a Ilkeston again, I was in the car wash on Nottingham Road and it pulled up.
So I started taking photos of it and the driver but I don't think it was the right one.

[GolfJay]

I thought you were a security guard Jay?

I'd be an amazing security guard if i'd caught them from the 50 miles away that I live from them lol

Again, I don't know all the facts but thanks dude. Cossall is a really posh place lol My parents new house has cost them just under £450,000!

Yep, all the forensics have been done. No idea on crime number.

Unfortunately, it's just a bog standard Golf.

Right, next.

Apologies for not updating this. I've been bed bound for 3 days with food poisoning.

The car hasn't been seen. The insurance have now paid out. I think my parents are less bothered about the car itself but more bothered that someone broke into their home.

Cheers for all the serious replies!

[McGuire86]

450k mortgage and they couldn't afford a state of the art burglar arm :detective:

[Viper]

£450,000 isn't that much.

[devilsadvocate]

The insurance have now paid out, not bad in two days :)

[Yates]

450k mortgage and they couldn't afford a state of the art burglar arm :detective:

and they drive a 1.4 golf. Well did...

[MJ05LLY]

£450,000 isn't that much.

UK average house price suggests otherwise.

[GolfJay]

Look, enough of the douche bag replies.

The car is obviously long gone.

Thats real good for the insurance to sort it out so quick!

Was it a simple process? And what sort of value did they pay? Whos their insurers, I would have thought it would take longer! Really good!

[MJ05LLY]

Its great if insurance has paid out already!
Id of thought they would of strung it out abit longer

[Brettles1986]

£450,000 isn't that much.

Silver spoon etc.

Are you for real

[Viper]

Silver spoon etc.

Are you for real

Of course I am. There are fuck loads of houses that go for more than that. No need to be mentioning house prices on here.

My Dad's bigger than your Dad etc.

Viper has a Camel that has won many Dubai Grand National Camel Races worth £450k.

It wasn't a totally simple process due to them moving house 6 days before but not changing it on the insurance.

Admiral are the insurers. They pretty much took the police report as proof of theft and sorted a courtesy car for yesterday.

Mum has decided she's buying a Jeep to tow her horse box. No idea what the payout was though.

[Viper]

I'm surprised they paid out if that house wasn't down as the registered address

[GolfJay]

I said that myself. Part of me wasn't expecting them to.

Thats real good! Admiral are actually pretty good at sorting things out too.
