Yep, the title says it all, someone pinched my car!! I come out from work and its gone, simple as that. To make matters worse, my glasses and phone were in the car (and are probably worth more than the car :P ).

Needless to say that Im seriously annoyed! :angry:

Damn, but that's bad news....sorry to hear that Sammy.

Ring your mobile from a landline and if they answer say you've got satellite tracking installed.

Or just threaten them with death. Come to think, that'd be my prefered option.

Good luck in getting it back!

Goget one and track down the theifs.
That would give them a shock. ^_^

Since I was at work at the time, I had turned my phone off and left it in the car as phones arent allowed at work... We tried ringing it before I realised it was off...

The more I think about it the more it sucks... I need a new car and new glasses. Plus I cant go to my local games night now, and with Uni going back in just under a week I will probably miss some of that too... ARGH!!

This is probably a long shot, but maybe some enthusiastic parking cop had it towed away and neglected to find a way to inform you?

Other than that, though, I'm sure the car will eventually show up. From what you said, the car wasn't expensive enough to warrant professional thieves stealing it then dismantling it for the black market. They could have either hijacked it as a getaway car, or decided to have a short road trip with it. In those cases you might get the car back (unfortunately, likely not the contents).

He would have to be incredibly enthusiastic, as it was parked completely legally in a shopping center car park, which Ive been using for the past 2 years without problem. Nah, they stole it for a get-away car or for joy riding... I just hope I can get it back. It may have been a cheap car, but it was reliable and allowed me to travel...

All the contents of the car only had sentimental/personal value, and would serve little use to any thief. My glasses were specifically made for my eye problem, my phone is SOOOO old, I have no CD's, just old casette tapes of 'The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' and old-school music from when I was a young 'un... *sigh*

So sorry to hear that. Must have been bad. These past two weeks two of my loved ones also got their stuff stolen. Makes me so angry (some say vengeful). One got his stuff back, but it was never the same again.

Report it to the police first thing. Then hopefully they can track it down and get it back.

Good luck, and may The Horned Rat favor you.

All the same, check whichever towie firm the shopping centre uses. You never know...

As an unrelated aside, what sort of car was it?

I notified the police as soon as it was stolen, but I dont expect much of a result. They dont really have the manpower to have officers searching for a crummy old car...

It was just a crummy old Mitsubishi. I got it for free (friend of the family), so I wasnt paying it off or anything. The car may have been bad, but it was useful and my only means of transportation. Plus it had my glasses and phone, so Im going to need to expend alot of money to get new stuff...

Possibly... I think the people who stole is are keeping it off though. My girlfriend called the phone today, but no one answered and when she tried again it was off...

Anyways, its been 2 days with no news from the cops, and I cant afford to go much longer without a car and glasses, so as of friday Im going to start searching... I bet that as soon as I buy a new car I will get a call from the cops saying that my car has been found and undamaged... ;)
