briforbes Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I've had a silver WRX stolen from my premises in Cardrona, just outside Peebles in the Scottish Borders. The car was completely standard, even down to the original wheels and exhaust, and had the registration number N898 ALS. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Brian Initial B Ltd.

StewartyBoy Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I'm about to move onto my 2nd Impreza, and all the thievery with these cars makes me slightly worried. I think blackjax and trackers are a must these days.
cruz104 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Really sorry to hear that pal, i will keep my eyes and ears open for you i am out and about a lot. Hope she turns up soon John
Midnight21 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) hope you get it back mate my gb270 got stole nearly 2 weeks agow now am guted got told by the police to stop phoning to see if they have found it they said i was waisting my time phoning they would get in touch if they found it a dont fink i am waisting my time a***holes that they are. Dont give up phoning! I had my Landrover Freelander stolen a few years back and after a month the police phoned me to say it was parked over someone's driveway and if i didnt move it they would have it lifted!! So they don't always keep us in touch This is getting scary with the reports of stolen scoobies Lets hope they turn up safe and sound Edited March 3, 2009 by Midnight21

briforbes Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks everyone. Not sure how much use the car will be to me if it turns up, as I imagine it'll be in a state and will undoubtedly have had the a*** kicked out of it, but fingers crossed something turns up. Makes me so angry that I put so much work into preparing the car, for someone to come along and think it's ok to take it for free. Calmed down about it now, but still very disappointed.

cruz104 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Any News Brian, thought I would give this a bump to the top too in case she is still missing so people can keep an eye out for her. Cheers John

I imagine it will be out of the area by now, but it's alway worth keeping an eye out just in case. Cheers, Brian.

Sorry to hear that Brian cannot believe the cheek of these people who think they have the right to stral cars. Will keep my eyes and ears open Cheers John
bigbird Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 If it makes you feel any better (which i doubt....) you may be re-assured to know the car still gets circulated across the force area on all Police channels at least twice a day. Howver, at the moment, there are 6 outstanding stolen imprezas that i know of, in and around the Edinburgh area, all between N and P plates. Fingers crossed it turns up.
john mac Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Its getting worrying all these scoobs going awol.Gutted for you guys who have lost one. With regards to the gb270 , how can they steal a car of that age with the immobiliser and coded key, i'm just curious as i honestly thought my MY 04 would be reasonably safe from the threat of being stolen , but obviously not.

As its an import i doubt it has an immobilizer. But even if it does there real easy to re-code another fob. then either rattle the ignition or hot wire it. But i personaly think they would have put it on a lorry or dolly.
