All these people who do this need a slow painful death i think
Cupra 280 STOLEN

If you could just find out who they are and get hold of them it would be great although I'd probably get myself into a lot more trouble.
Sorry to hear this mate that is a terrible story. There are certainly (usually poorer) parts of the UK where owning a performance car comes with clear risks of theft and violence, especially if the car is parked in plain sight and not locked up in a garage at night.
Get a house alarm and some CCTV to give you some peace of mind and also a chance of identifying people if it ever happens again. Security door won't hurt either https://www.strongholdsecuritydoors.co.uk/
Good look recovering from this.

Absolutely awful to hear mate, glad you're ok. Cars can be replaced mate, lives can't.
Terrible experience for you and your family and gutted that this has happened. If you do go the performance car route again, I’d be inclined to get an Autowatch Ghost fitted. Whilst they’re trying to get the car started, you’d be on the phone to the feds - maybe a personal attack alarm too - whilst they’re trying to start the car, set it off whilst holding it out the window. They’re more likely to do a runner than hang about - confusion will make them do one hopefully.

They won't be expecting a homeowner to put a round of 00 buckshot into their face though.
A few of those and car theft will start to be less attractive.
Thankfully, we don’t have the irresponsible gun laws here that prevail in the USA - this is reflected in the low gun death and suicide rate. The arseholes probably would’ve shot the op first in case he had a gun.

Shocking mate. One of my close friends went through the very same. The scroats kicked in the door whilst his family were asleep. They got the keys from the kitchen table and then bolted.
They have not long moved house because of the incident.
I'm so glad that you weren't hurt over the car, it just goes to show you that some people really don't care about things.
I do think an immobiliser system that can put the car into limp mode after a couple minutes would deter these f**kwits.
Take care

Don't think anything we can say will make it better. My personal thought is, if you did decide to have another performance car. Leave the keys where they can be easily found, don't bother with an immobiliser, fit a tracker instead.
Sadly these things happen i live in a quiet village which is low crime, but people play on that we had a few burglaries in the area years ago - its just easy prey for people sadly.
These people are just scum and at the end of the day what for? a few quid breaking it ? just low lifes who have no idea of the upset that remains for the victims.
At the end of the day let them have the car, it can be replaced - sadly no point fighting back, if you had a shotgun and shot them this would be turned around to your fault...just cant win.
Get another performance car dont let them completely ruin your life.
And for what its worth invest in some security cameras I have nest - it may help should the worst happen.

Sorry bro but it's just materialistic stuff so everything will be ok. I would never put up a fight for materialistic possessions that are insured.
Insurance will give you money for a new car.
This is the new Europe we live in now, get used to it. It will be like Brazil or Mexico in 10-20 years.
Criminals don't give a **** about laws so they have all the guns and weapons they want while EU is taking away weapons from regular lawful citizens or just shooting them, look at France and the yellow vests.
Enjoy **** while it lasts is my advice.

Don't be put off owning another "sports" car just take additional precautions , yes they will cost money and that may be too greater cost but its all achievable. I am glad you wern't physically but there is mental injury (ptsd) applies here.
Your can get stronger doors , cctv, trackers etc etc.
Bottom line is, its not flesh and bone ......Glad you are okay

I agree that the US system is biased too far towards the loonie end of the spectrum.
We have a very low shooting death rate too, but we can still buy long guns quite easily with a licence. And pistols if you're a club member.
While we do have a low death rate, our cops shoot more people than yours do. They almost literally have a licence to kill here.
The problem with your system is the certainty for violent crims that they'll get away with it. You seem to have no deterrence.
And while it's sounds fine to say it's only a car, lives are more important. What if the next time it's a fried meth head wanting a piece of your wife or daughter? Or just wanting to kill someone?
Not to mention soaring insurance premiums .
Sorry to hear your bad news. My cupra 290 got pinched almost exactly 2 years ago. They broke in whilst we were sleeping and I didn't realise the car had gone until the morning.
I've upped the security around the house since, and now have a cupra 300 up the drive. Try not to let these mongrels put you off having something nice.

All the best to you all!
