Almost Grand Theft Auto'd

[Rizzoe]

Unfortunately a UX owners biggest fear has become reality.

 

Around 3:30UTC-2 this morning i woke up was unable to fall back asleep. Around 4am i heard some loud noises coming from the parking spaces nearby, I immediately recognized the sound as body panels being ripped off and opened the roller shutter startling the thief. I caught a glimpse of some legs running behind some trees and shrubs nearby but i was unable to actually get a good look at the perp. After a minute or so of my falcon eyesight failing me i heard footsteps running away and that was all she wrote. 

 

The car has been without a garage for only a few weeks... this was definitely scouted and targeted. No real damage other than the fender trim bending and snapping a bit (some clips too?) and the bumper is now ever-so-slightly misaligned to the quarter panel.

Bastards. 

 

 

EDIT:

Seems also they tried accessing the wrong side, the drivers side is the vulnerable side IIRC. Maybe a UK group thieving in northern italy?
