Cant believe it,was still up watching telly when I thought,that exhaust sounds familiar,stuck my head out of the window to see my car being driven out of my estate!!!Funking chavs,we live in a tiny village where there was no crime whatsoever til a few years ago,in the space of 6 months a person got stabbed,someone got mugged the other week and now this!!Im so fuming!!!
Anyone want to place bets now on it being smashed up(wet roads),or gone for dust and in some dodge scrappy 2moz?????
go out and find the scum and take it back of them
i cant imagine what it feels like to see your car drive off. i assume you have foned the police
my stepdads on his way out the door as we speak!!rather him not as he will commit murders if he finds them!
edit:i feel like crying to be honest burgo,id have rather not see my pride and joy be redlined out the estate!!wouldnt have been as bad if i hadnt
edit 2:phoned them literally the second after it happened,so got my fingers,eyes,toes and everything crossed they catch the b@stards
Is it a nova?
yeah mk2 white,one of the only ones for miles......beyond gutted
Thats another one gone then... :(
Novas are too easy to rob. Didnt realise quite how easy it actually is til porter showed me.
Hope you get it back in one piece.
iam sorry to hear about your loss :(
i hope the car is recovered with minimal damage.
best wishes,
Meritlover
thats just horrid news. but lookin on the good side as its a small place you probley get it back. and being a mk2 hopefully they know the hazzard switch trick so nothing is broke inside
Im more p!ssed off about the fact i was going to get an alarm fitted,even though my mum said "oh it doesnt need one,not in our estate"......bit wrong on that one!!
cheers guys for all the kind words,its chilling me out a bit,only a bit though!
if you stayed closer id fit your alarm for free since its a nova
if you stayed closer to my i'd guard it with my life
rotten luck, hope you get it back.
:( I have chavs eyeing up my nova all the time... but i dont live in a live in some chavfest estate.
Good luck getting it back tho... it takes less than 5 mins to actually steal a nova, but same goes for a lot of old cars.
What does it look like? I'll keep an eye out.
Novas are far to easy to steal as said. You can get into and drive away with on in under a minute with no tools.
Something all of you should be doing (as an alarm on a nova is a complete waste of money) is to at least remove the king lead, or something similiar. I say this everytime, but its saved my cars no end of times. Little chavs have tried to steal my novas / corsa lots of times but its hard for them to drive it away when it wont start up.
Gutted for your loss, I've had the same thing happen twice.
As Phil said take the king lead or ECU or something.
Think taking the ECU out saved Ste's car.
I wanted to make my own 'alarm' which consisted of many batteries all wired together with bare metal strips under the door handles but I think thats illegal lol
Never thats awful i hope its returned with minimal/no damage, ill keep fingers crossed for ya!
As hendrix said was taking the ecu out stopped thieves bumping off ste`s valver was very lucky on that one.
Well as to be expected the police have done balls all!Dont think they have even started looking for it yet.Got my fingers crossed its as minimal damage as possible but wont be able to keep it as it will get stolen again.We are positive we know who did it,but guaranteed they will get away with it as they do with everything else they do in the village.Still cant believe our little village has turned into this,just shows the state of the whole country I guess
Welsh Dan,ive got a project thread somewhere with pics,doubt it will end up your end as we think we already know the area it will be in,but thanks for keeping an eye out :)
If you know who did it, steal their car and drive it through the front of their house.
I know who "tried" to steal mine but its not worth doing anything until they actually steal it.
Sorry to hear about your mk2 Princess JJ it seems to be all the white Novas goin walk abouts these days hope you get it back with minimum damage.
mine was stolen about 2 years ago , had fallen asleep and not put steering lock etc on , was well gutted lol , but it was found after 4 days with minimal damage , then 2 days later ste's was nicked , but as said his ecu was out so they left it in middle of street , the police then moved it to there compound lol
sorry to hear that..hope you get it back...
Hope you get it back.Catch them yourselves,deal with it your own way;)
I had mine stolen 2003 i think found it theyd knicked it just to get a lift home so i stole it back
sorry for your news hope you get it back. T**ts need there fingers choping off with a blunt axe.
Eh?Quote:

Whats everyones advice for the next step,go through my insurance and if they right it off buy it back?And then if I do that should I keep it or get rid?Not sure what to do,but I know I feel bloody lucky!
just bend door back / replace door abd get alarm ,
they will have snapped steering lock aswell and used the hazzard switch to start it
Police are thick arent they,they must have used a spare key? fcuks sake dont they know anything.Pleased to hear you have got it back.You are very lucky
just got my fingers crossed that they dont rite it off now,which they blatantly will due to the age of it,no idea why considering all thats wrong is a slightly bent door!is a broken steering lock an easy fix?
I wouldnt claim, just stump up the recovery fees.
they will write it off if you claim , and you dont always have the option to buy back ,
as said dont even bother claiming just get it fixed yourself ,
You can use any nova key for any nova lock sadly, you just have to be a little rough.
Shows how retarded they are if they have to bend a door to get in. They arent even very good at nicking things.
If they had a spare key, why did they bend the door to get in? Police are just numptys sometimes.
The guys from the recovery place said i had to get intouch with my insurance and they get someone out to assess it,sorry to be a girl about all this and ask so many questions but do i still have to go through the insurance or just go and pay the recovery fee and pick it up when forensics are finished with it??
no you dont have too thats just normal procedures , but like said it will be wrtten of for such minor damage it ant worth it ,
