I thought I would post a note to say thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts & offers of help. It's now six days later & hope is pretty well faded. Nothing from the police except a crime number through the post, but expectation was pretty low on that front anyway. To answer the questions asked: - No, it was not alarmed, entirely original spec & to be honest I really did not think anyone would want to steal it. There is probably a lesson there for anyone else with a similar mindset. Taking out the HT lead on holidays only is just not enough! - Hotwired or towed - I still have the keys. Probably pushed away to be begin with as no-one was woken in the house. - The lack of a burnt out shell turning up does suggest that someone took a fancy to it. That there is (literally) no foot traffic past the house confirms this in my mind. So, situation now is a Nissan Micra hire car (brmmm brmmm!) for 10 days on the insurance & looking forward to a "free & frank" discussion with the insurance company over the value of a seventeen year old but orignal & fully maintained 16v. I'll start a new thread on that one to at least give you allsome amusement & outrage in return for all this support. In the meantime I'm into the for sale ads and looking for another Corrado in a medium hurry - it won't have all the family history that went with the old one, but moving to a VR6 might help me get over it.......... Thanks to everyone. Paul H

Eyes open please: Stolen in Newport South Wales last night my lovley 16v Corrado 'G936 AGS' All original in white, working spoiler, 141,000 on the clock. Engine no KR143877 Chassis no .....20350 This one has been in the family for 15 years, so I'm really gutted to loose it. Got taken in the night from the drive outside the house on a really quiet dead end street, so I'm presuming that this was not a casual joyride. If anyone sees it about, or it gets offered for sale, drop me a line or call your local bobby please. Paul
