nobody deserves to have cars pinched, absolutely nobody! its a shame though that people think they will be ok with no security on their cars, its an open invitation and only a matter of time before it gets took, these cars get pinched even WITH loads of security on so having none is making it too easy, mines got 2 cat 1 alarmsbarrier deadlock /disclock and never EVER gets left anywhere, its garaged and when i go to the garage i still expect the fooker to be gone when i get there, part of high performance car ownership unfortunatley, PARANOIA

Even the simplist of hidden switches can stop your car walking, at least till you can fit a good alarm'immob.
I have a CAT 1 and a hidden kill switch, IF i'm ever unlucky enough to be 'car jacked i'll hit the switch give them the keys and do a runner, then get on the mobile to the police Not too sure how long they'd sit there cranking over an engine whilst i've done a runner?

Gutted for you mate.

Make sure ou make the security team at bluewater look at the CCTV tapes and check at the pickey sites in surrounding areas.

Have you informed the police. The Dartford Police are really good.

anyone who thinks that standard ford locks do anything at all to safegaurd a car is sadly mistaken, a standard ford lock is opened as quickly if not quicker with a screwdriver than a key, the locks are terrible and are only there to stop the doors flapping open when ya driving

secret switches, and mechanical antitheft devices, thats where its at

Has no one decided to set up a sting on these f**kers?

Park an RS up at lakeside and have a few peeps hiding in a couple of cars near by?

When they take the bait batter the fuckers? Simple but effective

Hi mate, not had any news so far so i'm not keeping my hopes up.

Bluewater were supposed to have been checking CCTV on saturday when it got nicked but i don't know if they found anything. It should have been caught on one of their cameras though.

Cheers everyone for keeping an eye out for it , much appreciated!

My Mates Cabrio Turbo, was pinched from Bluewater a couple of years ago, the coppers found it in Slade Green, they told my mate who went straight down there to find it had gone again! finally got found in Belvedere two days later and only the locks were busted! Always paranoid about leaving my cars there!
