This happened in Putney last week, and there are other recent examples. Apparently they're after airbags, but this looks more extensive than that to me - but am not an expert

Am lucky that I have somewhere to securely keep our cars. If we didn't we'd definitely be driving different, cheaper cars in this family. I used to leave my 997 on the street for years and it was untouched - but think we're in a fresh new era of car theft
Looks like they left the indicators assuming with it being a bmw they don’t work !

The VAG group have been piss poor for donkey’s years, dieselgate showed their true colours.

The pathetic excuse for Sat Nav and Infotainment that is fitted to a Macan have been around for ten years and still it is dire.

VAG software is a joke, they are still struggling to get their EV’s to function.

Macan ICE is being dropped in the EU.

Simply have a look online at the sheer volume of Lock Picks that are readily available, they can be in any car in seconds flat, connect up to the OBD port and thirty seconds later they are driving away.

Two minutes later they park up and rip out the Tracker in a task that takes a minute or so.

It is not just Porsche it is any car, if they want it, it is gone.

Surprising that insurance companies are not insisting that we:- Garage the car, fit bollards if you have to park on your drive, always fit a visible steering lock and have a couple of Airtags or similar hidden in the vehicle.
Actually my insurer does insist that my Macan is garaged overnight when at home, otherwise it is not covered against theft from my home. This was a condition of my policy (with Aviva).
What area is that ?

My Granddaughter had to have a secondary immobilizer fitted and it has to be garaged overnight. That's in Hampstead area.
I suppose she's lucky as many insurers won't insure a RR Vogue in that area.
It’s Buckinghamshire. In the countryside. Not London or anything like that, and I’d think it’s a low crime area.

I am wondering with Noslouch being so happy that the OPC forgot to tell him the claims excess was £70k ;) ;) ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Do pack plenty of food, drink and a porta potty in the car with you.

Its a long sea trip when you and the car will be packed inside a container.
