Thats awful kalv. I hope the people responsible die a slow and painful death !

On the tracker front, to be honest it probably wouldnt have made a difference. A colleague had a scooby nicked a few months ago, that had a tracker, but they located it within a couple of miles, and managed to rip it out and dump it.

If its a professional car thief, I dont think you stand a chance.

oh no makes it worse, good point think i will call them up soon and get it activated. Dont think mine would ever be stolen to order as shes a ONE but maybe se would be stolen for the parts she has on her or joyriding.. Hope you find yours soon ill keep my eyes open for it.

Anyone can put an effective tracking system in their car for less than £20- with no annual fees to pay, by simply hard-wiring a mobile phone behind the dash or elsewhere, & then using one of the many internet based trackers to search for it .
More Details >> http://www.mini2.com/forum/techy-stu...er-system.html

Or if you like the idea of Pay-as-you-drive insurance, then that effectively comes complete with a tracking system built in for free.

If it still has the illegal number plate on the car then hopefully the Police will spot it a mile off.

Hope its found for you, but I really wouldn't want a car back thats been stolen and recovered

Sorry to hear this mate! Was only seeing the pictures that you took of it in the bullring car park last week!

With all these cameras and numberplate recognition you will get it! Someone from the MINI garage i go to had his Evo stolen, and it was got back to him as it was spotted on the M6 by a camera!

Hope you get it soon mate

Thanks for the support people..

Some guys on the BMW forum believe the plastic dummy key that was stolen can be used to open/start the mini..

Can someone check for us?
