came out this morning and my Avant was gone. just a tiny bit of broken glass. I assume there is tech out there to quickly steal these? It was on my drive. In a quite cul de sac (dead end). No one heard a thing. So I can only assume the alarm went off for a few seconds.
I parked it up at 17:00 on my drive when I got home and went out at 9:00 this morning to find a little bit of glass and no car. I am a not afraid to say I was so upset I cried a little. I saved up and hunted for the perfect car back in December. 2011 S4 Avant. Only 43,000 miles on the clock. Brilliant White. I had upgrade the navigation to RS nav 10.1 inch unit (tried to track that this morning but it's showing as powered down). I really wish I installed a propper sat tracker. I think it's the nicest thing I have ever owned. I know it's just a car but it really made me feel special. I only use it for social things because I live a couple of hundred meters from my office.
Anyone else had a S4 stolen like this? They must have disabled it in seconds. No one remembers hearing a thing. Couple of the houses up the street have CCTV so I will see what they got. Not even sure if I would want the car back now. I mean if they could steal it that easily then the same people might steal it again.
I really thought my English town was pretty safe (market Harborough is where the car was). I just feel totally drained. Never had a car stolen before. Someone at my office says it sounds ilke it might have been "stolen to order". Makes me even more sick to think someone was targeting me. Atleast no one was hurt and I guess "it's only a car" but it was much more than that too me.
Just really wanted to talk to some people that would share my pain. I think alot of people in car clubs and forums have a love for thier car as more than just a machine that does a job.
