Dan_F Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Haven't posted here in a long time, as I sold my lupo to my sister. She unfortunately had the lupo stolen last night (reg: Y874 HPU), and I thought it might be an idea to post here just incase. She had dropped the car for off for a service and MOT and left the keys at the garage, but someone must have been watching as they took the keys and the car, unfortunately the car had its documents in it too ready for the MOT. The garage it was stolen from was in Shipley, West Yorkshire. Think it has 90,000 something miles. Silver, with a set of cambridge rear lights. The paint on the boot handle surround had cracked and checked too. She had a brand new mk5 golf gti stolen from her home not too long ago which is why she bought the lupo off me, she's devestated . I really missed driving that lupo what a shame to think what some little sods are doing with it now.

IDGM Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Tracker is worth it's weight in gold at times like this. I appreciate it's a big outlay at £600+ for lifetime, but we've never lost a vehicle yet and usually recover the contents of the van and catch the scum too as they unload or drive around.Good luck finding it.

bossjohnc Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Keep an eye out on e-bay for cheap GTI parts as well, I think the last one that was stolen got broken for parts although I'm not sure what happened in the end there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_F Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Just been talking to my sister on the phone, cctv shows the keys were taken 7 minutes after the keys were dropped off, but the cctv only captures the person's hand. She thinks it may have todo with the kitchen staff at a restaurant opposite the garage, some of them were watching suspiciously, police are now involved anyway. She's not sure if the log book was in there but she's now told the dvla about it, thanks defcon. Her insurance excess was already crazy after having the golf stolen, these people don't know (or probably care?) how much hassle they cause. Thanks though guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbeth! Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Good luck what ever happens!Good shout about the garage insurance though, check that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_F Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Will this not be covered on the garages insurance?apparently not, is what they're saying. I would have thought so too, will have to see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 apparently not, is what they're saying. I would have thought so too, will have to see what happensGet in touch with the CAB, see what they say about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Bad times It's definitely worth seeing if the garage insurance covers this - The theft was after all their fault for not keeping the keys secure. My MOT place has a cheap combination safe that cost about £30 and would have prevented a situation like this!Hope this turns out OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Even if their insurance doesn't cover it, it sounds like they're liable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_F Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Cheers for the advice, will tell her to contact the CBA. Turns out it was only a crappy cage thing that was holding the keys (as she dropped them through the door) till the garage staff would have come back the following morning. Still, they should have something more secure to prevent this happening, or i'd imagine they would be liable as you say ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ahh, they weren't in? Was she told to drop the keys through the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_F Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ahh, they weren't in? Was she told to drop the keys through the door?Sorry, yep, simply dropped through the door in an envelope. I think she realised once she'd done it that it wasn't the safest thing to do, and a few minutes later the theives took full advantage of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 ^ Yes it is. Get her to ring back the Police Station it was reported to and they should be able to provide it.Defcon - do you use the joyous IRIS system too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
