I've asked the seller if he has the boot lid for sale, how much and what colour? No reply yet.

Cheers Pal, much appreciated. They don't appear to be replying to anyone so that's suspect
Wondering if they have stumbled across this forum and seen the posts in this thread
Yeh
Did think that, that's why I PM'd a couple of people. Nothing in the messages I wouldn't have posted in the open but you never know
Yeah completly agree, some things are better said in PM rather than open thread where they could potentially see like you say
I've not but it's been passed to the police
Hopefully the cops will get onto it. Unless someone calls someone else names in the meantime.
Police will do fck all like they always do.
My uncle a few years ago went to a garage in Stoke-On-Trent to pick up a part for a Mondeo, while he was there one of the guys opened a lock up door by accident and there was 10+ new cars inside being broken, uncle left quickly with the part and called the police to inform them what he has seen.

I am under no illusions that they will do anything. They don't even bother looking on the ANPR cameras to see where it left the district unless you ask. I am going to do and then make enquiries with that force. The guy from CID didn't even ask if the car had any distinctive features, not even a photo, he was more interested in the Omega watch they took. Yes it was expensive but no where near the 30k car they took off in
Bastards! I've only gone an off the shelf Seamaster 300 in blue, 36mm Datejust Rolex that I inherited from my late dad last year and my 30th present to myself, Tudor Blackbay GMT.
Thinks SCN needs a watch thread haha.

What Im currently doing is using a cheap Android phone, with a cheap data SIM in it and a large battery pack as a GPS device. Using Googles find my phone service you can track it as long as it has a signal.
I just put it in a ziplock bag then stuff the thing in a hard to reach area like behind a rear light cluster. The battery lasts for days if its got a big powerpack. I will certainly be doing it for my Cupra when it arrives. Ive tested it on my current Astra and my previous MG ZT and it works well.

I actually thought about that the other day, obviously after the event unfortunately. Wish I'd have thought about it before
Obviously it doesn't stop someone taking it, but it might help out the next guy, if it helps catch the thieves. Not sure what my strategy will be right now to stop them taking it in the first place, some sort of physical lock maybe.
It'll
It'll give you a good idea as to where it is. Our Audi Q7 has just gone back as the lease has run out. With Audi Connect you get a sim built into the car and I've no idea where it is, tried looking. If you set it up correctly you can track the car, my husband forgot to factory reset the system when it went back and I can currently see it sat south of Leicester in a compound
