Default STOLEN! Audi RS4 from Sedgley.... NOW FOUND!

Had a call from a car trader friend who has just had a RS4 stolen on a test drive. Asian guy and half cast lad kicked his old man out of the car on a test drive. Keep an eye out for it, they have put flase plates on now which are 05 ones. They gave chance in an M3 but just couldn't keep up

Here's a pic

And another reason why some cars like this should have a tracker on for insurance purposes, especially being a car which is well known for being stolen to order.

Agreed but if he did that to every car he sold, he wouldn't have a business lol!

Thats a very fair point. But even still the private owner before hand should of had one fitted. Its a small price to pay on £20k+ worth of car

i think all high performance motors should be fitted with them tbh or when a test drive is asked for should get a few forms of id before test drive

just keep enough juice in the tank to give the test drive route covered

as for fitting a tracker, at least it's a selling point to the car as it'll have it fitted already rather than someone having to add it at a later date, and if you get a good fitter invovled you may even get a decent priced instalation

but we are all full of good ideas after the event, hope no one was hurt

What a surprise to read the description of the "buyers" , seems a favourite tactic of this lot. Hence I refuse to deal with them any more.
Hope your mate gets his car back of the scummy cunts!

Didn't the trader take license copies first? Not rocket science is it.

The police found this the other day, it's now blue with no chassis numbers! The lads who took it were traced using their mobile phone number. Police have them in custody I believe

Be interesting to see what they get, but it's unlikely it'll be a punishment that fits the crime... as per normal, thanks to our screwed up judicial system.

Sounds about right, it was found in Birmingham. Apparently they do it on a big scale and are handy at the wheel so would just drive off if the police followed

I was speaking to a chap the other day and he said the large scale groups that steal cars now have a thing they plug in the cigarette lighter that jams the tracker signal, apparently they cost fuck all too .
