A mate of mine's 2002 Audi S3 was stolen off his driveway this morning in Downend (NE Bristol).

Dolphin Grey exterior and factory two tone alcantara interior.

With age and high mileage it's likely to be a local scally as opposed to part of some international car crime megaplan.

If anyone spots this car driving around or parked up, please contact local Police or email me.

Thanks

Check local car parks in case it is a pro job, my A4 was stolen in Weston 4 years ago and was found in an HSBC car park in Bristol, they do this in case the car has a tracker on it, so they will leave them for 24-48 hours and if its there when they come back they assume it has no tracker and then take it away. And mine was found.....but due to an incompetent community support officer (HSBC rang the boys in blue to say they had some random car in their car park and they decided it was a job for a CSO) who decided to just leave it and not find out why it was abandoned in HSBC with no number plates on it I never got it back again!!!

I hope it gets found,

Good luck to your mate!!

Well they couldn't get the tax disc out as it had a secure holder thats dipsh!t proof so they didn't remove that, she did have the brains to get the reg number off the tax disc and rang who it was registered to....which was still the previous owners (as I'd only had it 6 days frown and the dealer wasn't too quick in sending the V5 off) who said they'd sold it and she then didn't try and find out who owned it now or to get it recovered, basically it was an inside job from the garage I bought it from, they were replacing the battery in the main key for me which I was going to pick up after I'd been on hol, and surprise surprise the key went missing, and even more surprisingly the salesman had the 2 days off the night after it got stolen, unfortunately the police couldn't prove it but they knew it was him.

Anyway its great to hear the car has been recovered biggrinbiggrin
