We have a Golf R on 2 yr business deal, no GAP insurance. No tracker. We have had the car 6 months or so and it is insured with LV.
They broke into the house whilst we were in bed last night and took the keys to my wife's Golf leaving my C63?? This seemed to surprise the traffic cop (who hadn't heard of a Golf R)
Very scary and gutted that they have been in our house. I heard them and saw the car being driven off at speed. I always make an effort for not leave car keys where they can be hooked through the letter box. I never hide them really well, as I have always thought, if someone breaks in for the car keys, you don't want them to come upstairs looking for them!
House insurance were great, sending out a locksmith in the early hours to make the house secure again.
CSI have been out this morning and it appears these guys really knew what they were doing.
Unfortunately, the Police so far have been unable to locate the car.
With it being Easter the insurance co are on 'skeleton staff' and the guy didn't want to comment on whether we had 'new for old cover' with the car being less than a year old.
What happens if they don't recover it? When do they write it off, 30 days?
Do we have to source a car of similar age and spec?
Would insurance settle with finance co? (and we make up the 'GAP', if we don't have new for old).
I know I need to try and download our policy docs and try and wade through the small print!! Thanks in advance
