Just thought I'd relate my sad story. Last week my pride and joy, my black Mercedes 300CE-24 Sportline was stolen from my road. I can't believe this has happened, especially after having my Mercedes 260E stolen from the same place last July!
It must have been an organised gang, as they circumvented the alarm and a steering lock! Or more likely, nobody paid any attention to the alarm going off and they towed it away.
I am absolutely devastated. I drove to France the week before, enjoying a 1300 mile round trip in comfort and luxury.
The police reckons it's a gang in Essex that have been stealing Mercs to order for parts abroad. They sent a letter to me a while back advising me to check the alarm and get a steering lock, which I did. How can this happen?
Anyway, just a warning to everyone out there - lock away your Mercs if possible!
After losing two Mercs in the space of a year I'm afraid I won't be buying another, which makes me very sad. I don't think I can get insurance for one and I don't want to give these low life scum another chance.
Cheers
