Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
Re: Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
Thanks mate,
All a bit raw as you say, for the minute. And certainly considered the potential repeat incident issue. But at the mo, been gone a day and Police say they recover a number of vehicles. Just not holding much hope personally... Such a pro job.
You may get a PM buddy, just watching over wifey and extended family at the minute. Hope FIL gets over it quickly. MIL freaked by intrusion into house, so both are suffering at the mo.
Will see him Saturday to try and offer some comfort.

Re: Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
Holy Sh!t. What a real shame for everyone, especially the family. Glad no one is hurt but................ Some people are just jealous of what others have so they nick it. If it has a tracking device then you may be lucky, a mate of mine got his Scooby back after Forensics had finished with it, but it was found withing three hours in a lockup. His house was also broken into and the keys nicked
Leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth too. We couldn't believe it when someone just stole the complete front bumper assembly of HRH's E46 - never heard a thing and it was 3 foot from our front door and we were in!! It's the violation of personal space and items that it the worst part I think.
From your description it sounds like a pro job and stolen to order and they've left no trace? Real sorry to here this man - gutted.
Let's just say we upped our security following the incident and leave it at that.............

OMG Sanj, gutted for you all.
That has got to be one of our worst fears especially with 3 kids in house, but must have been just awful none the less. My thoughts are with you.

You selling your car to him then?
Sorry - could not resist.
Serious now, once I had been burgled a few years back it felt very horrible that your space has been violated. For months I was moving stuff around into lofts etc whenever I would be away for a few days. I heavily invested into security stuff after that which actually caught the next would be burglar.
Having CCTV equipment also gives a sense that you at least know what is going on, might be worth looking into that.

Re: Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
So sorry to hear this Sanj, there's been a spate of similar thefts - over on the Audi forum, a chap had his non-functional A8 stolen on a low loader and thieves hit his family again and stole a BMW E46 just a few days ago, similar situation - everyone home, kids there etc, broke in while family were home, stole keys and then the car. I second the CCTV.......from experience, do something like that, its quite cheap these days.

Re: Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
Thats terrible news mate and i'm sure that the FIL is still in shock. I would love to catch someone at this game, makes me livid that people have the cheek to invade others privacy and space to steal.
As others have said, this isn't opportunists taking a car with the keys in the ignition. Its a job done to order more than likely. Depending on how good they are, I have known of cars being stolen and then left in a car park for a few days locked up... this way if there is a tracker fitted then it will be discovered easily, if not then they will know in a couple of days when they return and it is still there!
I truly hope that they find these people and rob them of their ass virginity!

Re: Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
Yes same as I thought Turks and not uncommon action of people stealing this type of car. The other point to make is that while Sanj's FIL car may not have a Tracker, I would doubt it was the only car stolen by these scumb and as such the other cars may have Trackers and lead the police to them. Whether FIL wants his back is another matter.
@Sanj - Hope your family are all well mate, this really is a $h!tty thing to happen to them, my thoughts are with them

Re: Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
Small blessing is that they did indeed just picked up the keys rather then have to come upstairs to "ask" for them. This type of burglar who goes out of their way to break in and get the keys is unlikely just going to walk away if they can't find them.
Hope the MIL and FIL are being a bit more comfortable at the moment as the shock is not nice.

Re: Mercedes E -Class 59 plate
Its one thing I really love about having two large Dobermans... while I am away working especially and the missus in the house on her own. People think twice about walking on the same side of the street as me and the two dogs sometimes! Sadly though I think i'm going to have to rehome them soon or one at least
