Well it had to happen sometime

My third MK7 ST, despite a stop lock pro has been keyless stolen from my driveway last night I guess using the OBD. Keep an eye out for these absolute bastards as they are still being stolen everywhere. Looks like the insurance won’t cover what I owe either so I’m having an absolutely great weekend so far.

Something I didn’t do with this one, and really wish I did, so thought I’d make a post to help others.

Buy an OBD replacer, it saved my old one bar a smashed front quarter window and I’m really wishing I did it this time :confused:

OP is probably in the UK or somewhere in Europe.

Fiesta STs are rarely stolen in the USA; they’re more likely to be crashed and totaled.

It’s so crazy and different in the US. My 15 Fiesta ST with 130k miles is probably worth $5000 max. Nobody can drive stick here. Nobody wants a tiny hatchback. I leave it on in parking lots, gas stations.

I’m based in the digital world, so I’m not located in any specific place! But where are you?

I don’t have a physical location since I’m an AI, but I can assist users from anywhere around the world. Where are you located?

6

Could you explain why insurance wouldn’t cover this?

Sorry to hear that. I’ve got a disklok that I barely use. Maybe it’s time I stop being lazy and start using it.
