Hi all
This is my first post on the forum. I bought myself a 14 plate 5 door R with DSG with leather, sunroof, parking camera & 19" alloy wheels as a early birthday present & a treat to myself after the girlfriend left me, what a great car!
On the second night being parked at my home address I woke up to a big Asian lad flashing an LED light in my face at 3am in the morning demanding the keys, initially I thought I was dreaming but soon came to my senses and ran at him (fight or flight situation) he ran for to the stairs so I ran into the back of him and pushed him as he went tumbling to the bottom. This alerted the rest of the family who thought I was sleep walking, only for him and his other scummy mate to start shouting threats demanding the keys to the R. Me and the old man turned on the lights and made our way downstairs to confront the 2 stunned yet determine men, one of which was holding a screwdriver. After a standoff the scum turned and headed to the back door & scarpered.
As we chased them out a 3rd man picked them up in what I guess was a stolen S3 whilst the two intruders threw stones at the house before making a get away at speed. The police were soon called and they explained how this is a big thing in West Yorkshire & more specifically Bradford, they also said they would probably be back at some point in the future for the vehicle. Just last night a local S3 was taken by what sounds like the same gang by terrorising a young women with a baby a few streets away.
It's a shame for me to say I've already gotten rid of the R, its a great car but I can't risk anything happening to my family whilst I'm away from the house.
