An Audi A3 was stolen off the owners driveway in South Manchester on 7th June 2012

 

The thieves entered the house via the insecure front door and threatened the owner with a crowbar before stealing the keys and then the car itself.

 

The owner however has quite a good CCTV system and has uploaded the theft and images of the thieves on youtube to try and identify them.

 

It's worth a watch and worth circulating further to help try and identify these **** to the police

Quite blatant and in broad daylight.

Good quality images and could have been the best investment they made.

call me sceptical but the images and editing is almost too good

 

That is my parent's next door neighbour and trust me the images are real the robbery was real. The guy has 4 kids, one only 3 years old and all bar the eldest were in the house at the time.

 

I hope they catch these thugs. Can a man not work hard and have a nice car without some n*b coming into his house and terrorising his family.

 

Makes me ashamed to be a Manc :-x

 

And I can ask him what exact system he fitted if anyone really wants to know.

NB I'm pretty sure its an S3 which I think is the sporty version of the A3 no?

Yes the s3 is a higher spec

 

The current generation Audi S3 (2006 to present) has a 260hp engine, vs 197hp in the A3's 2.0L turbo engine. The engine features an upgraded turbocharger, pistons, intercooler and more. The four-cyliner engine is good for a 0-60mph time of around 5.5sec (that's fast! The A3 does it in around 6.6 sec), and a top speed of 155mph.

Yeah thought so. I've just been speaking to him and likes fast cars and has had some nice ones but I know he loved the Audi - said it was the best fun he'd had on 4 wheels (he likes bikes also).

 

Says he might get another one, and that the you tube video has got over 20,000 hits thus far. Hopefully someone will name the thieves. AFAIK he's offering £1000 reward.

Yes you can see why it would be a target for thieves with an agenda-but it also begs the question as to what it will now be destined for.

Probably more robberies.

In the past Evo's were a favourite as were BMWs,but I know the GM force have bought some Evo's themselves to take them on.

I think Manchester has probably done more than most to try and tackle these incidents,but when they happen like this in broad daylight its impossible to do much.
