We were on holiday for my birthday last week in Lanzarote and the day after we arrived we were sitting by the pool in the hot sun and get a phone call from our daughter that our house has been burgled and both cars were stolen as well.
Needless to say we were devestated, they ransacked the house and then into the bargain nicked the cars as well.
Luckly my cars got a tracker and it was discovered a mile from our home along with the wifes car and they appear un damaged but as they stole all the keys they were recoved by the police to a compound for forensics.
Mine is now at local MB to have all it's locks etc to be replaced and the wifes awaiting for the car to be opened by locksmith so police can get in for the forensics as well,then that will go to be repaired locks etc.
I supose we were lucky in some respects that the family were arround for us and completely cleaned the house for us while we were away.
So be aware when you go away tell no one and always try to get someone to check it on a daily basis for you, because even ours was alarmed but the got on roof and ripped off alarm bell and strobe and ripped off internal keypad aswell to disable it, our new alarm when fitted will be redcare to police now.
Is it likely that our cars will go on stolen recovered insurers list hence lowering the values,
Should i ask MB for a curtesy car while mine being repaired as insureres say they only supply if car goes to there recomended accident repair center but i wanted it to go to MB incase any damage repairs and its still under warranty so did not want to invalidate that.
Thanks for listening nice to get it off your shoulders sometimes as i'm still fuming.
