    PLEASE can anyone tell me if they see a 2007 WHITE GOLF GT TSi (2 door)

    It was stolen from my house in Ashbourne, between 1am & 5am thursday morning!

    Obviously on a wanted list & taken with intention to keep for themselves :mad:

    ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

    Crap. Will keep my eye out for it. Have you a tracker on it? Drive around and check car parks lane ways estates etc. They will move than likely park it up and wait a few days in case there is a tracker in it. Hope you get it back safe and well

    bad luck man, hope your well insured and you dont get screwed by the insurance company as i dont think i would want the car back after it being stolen.

    2 door cars are not great for robberies, well with the 2 doors and all. i reakon these kind of cars are being stolen to order for people who might of wrote off their own or indeed by people with the basic 1.4 golg looking to do an engine conversion or similar.

    Have you posted on other forums such as www.vagdrivers.net?
    The more eyes you have out there the better.

    Hope you get it back in one piece.

    Is there anything distinctive that'll identify it? Can you give the reg in case someone sees it lying up?

    It's not that the Golf GT is a "wanted car", it's that any car that's popular on the road is worth targeting and stealing cause they're the ones they'll sell on quickly. Pick any popular car - they're the ones to take.
    Sorry to hear it OP, unfortunately that's the joys of having something you want. Thieves want it too. For most insurance companies though your no-claims won't be affected for 1 theft. You're better off getting an insurance cheque than a damaged car back.

    A Padraic Nally stance against scum like this might deter them if theres a danger their heads would be blown off. Its only a car at the end of the day granted, but if there was a clear oportunity i wouldn't think twice about it.

    I will keep an eye out for the car. North East coast of Dublin here, will have a look in the usual places.

    Your obviously fuming and upset. Eringobragh is condoning shooting the car thieves dude! He is on your side... You just misread his post in your red rage.

    Hopefully your insurance will pay out in full for you. with regards to these scumbags now breaking into your house to get car keys only- i normally leave car keys down stairs, but think il bring them upstairs now in future! however, will this encourage the scum to come upstairs and force a confrontation?!!

    That may work if it is still in country, possibly on its way to uk now.
    Happens other way round I have heard too, hope I'm wrong though.

    You're missing the point - it isnt the fact that (admittedly, lovely car - metal/plastic/glass) was stolen......it's the fact they broke into his house first, to get the keys.

    What if they met you when they were inside?? That's the real issue, tbh......

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Insurance may sort out the physical car (or at least their estimation of the value of it when it was stolen), but it doesn't do much to get rid of the sickening feeling you get when you know some scumbag has been in your house, rummaging through your stuff, to take possessions that mean a lot to you.

    OP, sorry to hear your story and I hope you can post back at some stage with some good news.

    Hmm... my wifes 06 VW Golf 1.4 was stolen 2 weeks ago to the day from Ratoath.

    I had an Eazypass tag in it which registered going through the M1 toll from South to North on the Thursday evening, the car was stolen early on the Thursday morning. Not seen since..

    Good luck with your search.
