THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW THE CAR, KNOW THAT IT IS NOT A CAR THAT CAN GO UNNOTICED BECAUSE OF THE SIGNAGE THAT I HAVE ON IT.
Very sad to see, I'm surprised a car of that camoflage has even been taken, unless the theives know how to quickly remove the stickers. I hope it comes back soon, and with no harm done.
Are there any marks on the front bar where the nudge bar has been mounted, it could be a distinguishing feature if it comes down to it.
Just goes to show though, if someone wants your car bad enough, they'll get it. Smartsheild/Smartlock, etc are no match for a set of keys.

Doesn't stand out much, i hope he gets it back unharmed but seeing as they went to the trouble of finding the spare keys or even worse knowing where their kept I cant see much hope of getting it back in once peice. Hope its insured to, i can see the insurance company voiding the claim as those signs/pics werent standard ford kit and they in some way aided in the theft of the car.

They'd have to be stupid to steal that if they wern't goin to hide it or know how to remove the stickers on it, because that would stand out amoungst other cars. It saddens me to see such nice cars get stolen from someone who's worked so hard to get them.
That's the problem. These lowlifes that do this sort of thing most likely don't work, only prey on the individuals that do. They obviously have no morals or respect.
