Sorry to hear that Agent s, will keep an eye out for it around the west/midlands area.
Are you watching the buy and sell and autotrader online, sometimes stolen cars show up there, in the "for breaking" sections, or just the regular for sale sections?

I am indeed - and it's about as bad as going up that evening to the dublin mountians to see if it was burnt-out!!!!

scumbags :x :x :x Sorry to hear about that Agen S, we'll keep our eyes peeled out here as well.

I really think that it's abot time this Government dealt with the scum that feeds off the hard working decent people in this country. They have no guts, we've turned into a namby pamby do-gooders state that seems to think that its more important to find an 'excuse' for the behaviour of these bsatrds than actaully solving the problem. If they had to watch a couple of their 'compadres' getting the birch on O'Connell street I can Guarantee you this type of crap would stop................and when their backs heal up ..........then offer them an education. I'm sick of this, I really am.

I 'got out' of this type of behaviour (I never stole a car but I was getting there...') when I was 15 (back in the '70's) because I got a good beating from a cop one night after causing trouble - It was the best thing that ever happened to me - I made sure I never got involved again.

end of rant.

Oh my god, the fu****g B@$%$%ds

Sorry to hear that babe, i'll keep an eye out in the carlow area, doubt it will come this way thou, best bet is to keep an eye out on the Auto trader and other car mags in England as that is probably where it will end up.

By any chance did you take down the vin number, if you did you could post it up on the various forums (owners club/jcars) in england as they would keep an eye out to.

Hopefully you'll get it back, again so sorry to hear about it :cry: :cry:

Not sure what a vin number is but anything that helps...

Iano C - no news yet or I'd be par-taaying like a fat buddha! Trust me - you'll all know :lol:

Opps my bad,

i mean chassis number, as if you have that writen down seperatly some owners could go and look at a manual gr under the pretence of buying and check it out for you.

It seems to me that this is becoming a pretty common occurance. Sounds like these scumbags are picking specific area on a specific night and then doing a blitz theft of performance cars....

Right now I'm starting to feel pretty frustrated and powerless in our society - maybe it's time for mob rule/power!

http://www.CarWatch.ie is now the best value by far for tracking systems tailored for the Irish market. Hopefully this will make postings like this a thing of the past!

Also included are CE certified garage alarm systems for just 149 Euro!
