Angry STOLEN LHD 964 CROYDON SURREY UK

Hi All,

My Black LHD 964 was stolen from Croydon Surrey UK last night/ this morning.

As I said it's black overed 171,000km. It has a light grey/ blue leather interior.

One thing to note is the spoiler had recently become stuck in the up position.

Please keep your eyes peeled.

Cheers

Sunil

Really sorry to hear that. Thieving scumbags need their ba**s chopping off. Will keep an eye out for sure. Might be worth contacting all the Porsche breakers to see if they have been approached by anyone. I'm sure they would be happy to help.
It's made me paranoid about mine as it lives outside.
If you dont mind sharing, was it on the street, driveway, garage etc when they took it?

Hi,

The car was on a driveway on a private estate, annoyingly now gated.

Really sad about it, it was off road for a number of years but I got it back running well in 2015. Spent £4.5k getting him back to fighting weight.

Cheers

Sounds like they must have overcome the steering lock, which I thought was a major issue for thieves to overcome. Obviously not the case :-(

That's the thing about our cars. It's all the effort and heartache we put into them that makes it so harsh when something like this happens. You just cannot replace that.

911 Jetta's idea to post picks is a good one, can only help.

Bad news Sunil - really sorry to hear it's been nicked. Hopefully you'll find it - keep an eye on eBay for parts etc too. One of the downsides of these increasing in value I guess. 10 years ago I used to park mine on the drive outside my house in Blackheath without being too worried about it - now it's garaged all the time.
