Saw this today on the 924OC FB page: it’s a red 924, reg TNF862X.

Looks like a nice example too, apparently it was originally the owners grandad's car with lots of emotional attachment. Stolen from a locked, alarmed garage. What do you have to do to keep a car away from the unpleasant folk out there!?

 

 

Fingers crossed for its return.

Bastards. Eyes peeled in case it makes it down here.

 

It's a bit of a strange one as they don't have a massive value, yet the fact it was nicked out of a garage suggests it was taken to order.

It has been see on Tuesday evening speeding around the Haliwell area!!

 

I suspect it'll be next seen considerably more burnt in a remote car park somewhere...

 

If it was stored at the house of somebody who'd died it may well simply be local scrotes who now know they have had plenty of time to disable the alarm and get in to the garage without being bothered.

Your average scrote is quite capable of by-passing domestic alarms and garage locks.   The fact that it was seen being wazzed about locally tends to rule out most levels of professional.   I suspect once its disappointingly low value is fully understood it stands a very good chance of becoming a charred shell in a local dogging spot.   Cunts.

There's almost nothing that will defeat a determined thief, no matter how lacking in skill he might be.

 

Then again, disconnecting the battery can slow things down a bit....

Confuse them. Take the fuel pump relay out, I'd like to see them figure that out.

[Angrydicky]

Neither of those are going to stop it being hauled away on a towrope. Disklok at a minimum, preferably in conjunction with a tracker. 

 

This company look good, as their trackers aren't hard wired so even disconnecting the car's battery/loom won't affect its ability to track. They've got a youtube channel documenting some of their theft recoveries, which is quite interesting. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWRXwGwCL8VqRaDSqmCnxaw

I reckon good 924s like this are selling for 4-6 grand these days. Not 911 money but certainly not the 600 quid bangers they were 5 yrs ago. Parts prices are on the up too as the supply of cars being scrapped is slowly drying up.

 

Maybe my long term cold start problem is a blessing in disguise.

This company look good

 

I thought the same of them. Then I saw their website. It's terrible.

 

 

 

Terrible.

A friend used to do this back in the day. He lived on a particularly dodgy estate in Stourport on Severn. His Mk3 XR3i actually had more fuel in it than when he left it after the third time the scrotes tried to nick it! They gave up after that.

Scummy fucks   Looked like a nice one

 

Cant even keep the steam off your own piss these days it seems!
