Once again im afraid to report Ross has had his car stolen!
This is the 2nd this year! was stolen in the Sheldon area of Birmingham straight off his drive, Burgled the house first using the Seat as a getaway car!
The car:
Seat Ibiza Cupra

lowered on 18's (black with polished lip)
Thousands spent on the engine, was an ex Jabbasport car running in the region of 360bhp!
Heres a few pictures

Thanks
Adam

OMFG ARGHHHHHHH NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
I thought this was a joke when I read the title. No way! Not again! Poor Ross
So, let me get this straight? They burgled Ross's house and then used his car to escape? Did he leave his keys in the house?
Poor poor guy

That's a good point actually - never thought of it before.
Anyway - I feel the same as everyone else about your news mate and will keep my eyes peeled around Wolvo

Shocked. That's about all I can say.
I hope the thieves get what they thoroughly deserve and that the car is returned unscathed.
Roverlessness - what a strange feeling!

The only way to ensure that they DO get what they deserve is to make sure they are dealt with "privately" before the law gets them.
And yes - I know EXACTLY what I am saying but that is my opinion as a member of society, first and foremost.

Will keep eyes out in Coventry/Leamington - also know will tell AMD and Revo - in case they get the car in for a valuation.
Thought lightning never struck twice...
Hope he gets a good outcome!

i thought he was joking too when he rang me about it! All keys and other personal items were taken while he was in bed!
I dont want to go into much detail as its not my story to tell!
Just wanted to make people aware that its been stolen, im sure Ross will be on here soon.
I personally think its the same people as last time! But its deffo getting beyond a joke now.

cheers Ad,
and thanks to everyone for their concern,
they broke in through the conservatory on tuesday night between 1am and 5am, taking my keys, the girlfriends handbag with her car keys in, purse and personal belongings, various other handbags that were owned by my mom and sister, stepdads wallet, brothers carkeys and wallet, the one night nothing gets taken to bed is the night they strike. personally i think they came solely for the car but nothing can be proven, no fingerprints left etc.
im just grateful that nobody was hurt and i hope they write the rhubarb off and kill themselves in the process, it's insured for exactly what it was so i have no worries about invalidating my policy if the find it with the modifications still present.
thanks for keeping your eyes and ears open
