Default Focus RS 2009 Performance Blue Stolen

Bit of bad news to start the new year off, my old blue Focus has been stolen. I sold it to my neighbour 6 month ago. The house was broken into and the keys taken whilst they were out tonight . Car was located Goole, East York's. Any info please get in touch, thanks.

Quick update, car has been found in the next village a couple of miles away, undamaged and just locked up at the side of the road. So it would seem not professional car theives as first thought, but burglars who took it cos it was there. Unfortunately the scum still have a keyfob though, so it's still going to be an expensive job to get all the locks changed and coded in. Going to have to do the same with his son's corsa as they took a set of keys for that too, although they didn't touch that car.

surprised you havent staked out the car to catch the thieves if they return to it soonish.

I never leave any keys in the house if im leaving the car at home. the cunts have to break into it the old fashioned way or tow it away.

Don't think it was left to see if it had a Tracker. Was left parked on the only through road in a small village (the road is fairly busy in relation to how small the village is). Think there would be a lot better places to leave it if that were the case?

thieves now take cars with the keys and leave them parked up for a couple of days to a week to see if there is a tracker fitted after a week they think it is safe to take it where ever they are going to break if or ring it without fear of the old bill finding them
