Wow - this really sucks. I do that all the time. I will really have to think twice about doing it anymore.

i believe so. He parked in his driveway, left it running, walked in, grabbed something out of the house, and thats how long it took them to get in and drive away.

Me too and I have the kids buckled in the rare times that I do do it... Never again...

Yea stupid me leaving the keys in it. I really wish i didnt but what are the odds that within 2-3 mins .. 100% i guess, i really hope that guy gets what is coming to him one day. I had just filled the tank to, Brand new Pirelli's hope that the insurance makes me a good offer.

Sorry to hear about this. I dont know why people have to steal others property. I guess it comes down to society and entitlements. Far too many have an opinion about rights and how far those rights extend into another persons right to have his/her own rights.

In the old days these actions were dealt with swiftly. Taken out back and shot comes to mind. Now we give them club med jails with meals, healthcare, gym services and full elective procedures. I guess social justice sounds good until it comes into your garage and takes the RS6.

Good luck on the claim.

BTW, I'm so damn paranoid that when we take vacations....I have all the cars locked and garage doors bolted. I then disable the cars(so they will not start) and finally, hide all the keys in a safe box that nobody will ever find. Most of our cars have memory chips and you need the key to start the car. Hell, I do this on top of the security system we have at home. Crazy.

I hope the insurance company pays!!! If you left the keys in it, running, they may argue the point, saying you didn't do enough to protect it? Not saying that is right, but they are insurance companies...they have been known to do things like that?

So sorry to hear this Palette ! worse yet given the plans you had for the car and the challenge you'll face in finding a similar one..... I truly feel for you. I'd be taking the mini-14 and driving the streets.........

As noted by others I suspect it's best if it's not recovered..... I know my old A6 2.7T was never the same after I had a high-school punk valet "borrow" it for a few hours.... despite a good insurance company that tried to stand behind things stuff popped up afterwards that we didn't expect..... I ended up trading the car at a 5k loss

Best of luck..... people truly do suck.....

This is state insurance. You write one check for plates and insurance? right?

One can only guess how this will turn out.

How exactly does this work in Canada? Does everyone pay the same rate by vehicle? Or is each citizen graded by claim history and type of vehicle driven? I have no idea.

Our insurance works buy ratings, Different scales for Vehicles as well as drivers, So a poor driver driving a 1990 Honda would likely pay as much as me driving the Audi, My record was clean, no issues , so as of today no update from the Police, my insurance company did say they have recover cars 3 weeks later sitting in a container so not to lose hope. Chances are slim so I’m not evening going to think about it till the time to get the car back or make a settlement.>>

Good thing is i had it for 3 weeks, and they are aware of it and they know that they hold their value so he believes i will be reimbursed the full amount. (fingers crossed)>>

Thanks guys again for the support>>

Mike your correct, but it being on my drive they class it as private property so thats a good thing.

BTW thanks for the Email this morning.

So my broker just found me a 2003 RS6 out of Florida, Same Miles as i had, Black on Black. Just need to settle up and get the ball rolling.

[DHall1]

How many miles did you have?

There is a 20k mile car in Texas with the 5yr Fidelity ext warranty. Fidelity is good in Canada.

[covertw12]

Palette - that car in FL is local to me if you want eyes on it..... I spoke with the guy when I was looking but ruled it out because of the question marks and the color....Id be more then happy to connect with him and either coordinate a PPI at my shop or just check it over..... I suspect we have similar standards..... I spent 4 months trying to find mine ( bought with 26k and like new other then the APR tune -thanks to the previous owner for covering that large nut !!).

All the best ~

[fluidmotorunion]

Holy shit, Palette, I'm so sorry to hear that.

Hopefully that thief gets what's coming to him (a severe beating), and hopefully you get what's coming to you (an undamaged RS6).

Palette - very sorry to hear about your ride. I've had a couple of very special cars taken from me also. Sucks that you only had it for 3 weeks!

Not to flip it around, but DHall1 is talking about my car. I am actively trying to sell it. If you are interested, feel free to PM me.

Cheers - Justin
