It's hard to know what to do, one guy told me before to just leave the keys out where they can find them close to door.... His reasoning was if they are going to go to the effort of breaking into the house to get them they are not leaving without them so If they can't find them then they are going to be up after you, the woman or kids... And the end result will be you giving the keys over anyway but your family being tormented for life after it... And being realistic, there is a good chance that if they are in anyway competent they will be standing beside you before you wake up.
Anybody getting unwanted?

Gave the car to a friend to sell. Well pissed off atm.
Sourced a replacement car 2 days ago.
Iv had focus RS, GTI, 335i , M3s etc and never
a niggle. As soon as a subaru appears sh*t happens.
Only remembered the spoiler was torn off the last STI too.
With a young family I'm not taken any chances.

It's sickening to think you feel the need to that.. But if it makes your family rest a bit easier well it's only a car at end of the day..
Sorry to see this. I would keep car with your friend for a good while, meantime buy cameras and spot lights with sensors to show them that you are not afraid. I can help you with getting good cameras and install. Won't charge you anything extra!
Of course family safety is first thing, no doubt about it. Don't think that STI is reason of this, as if not this, then other car will be target, but fact that those scumbags are not being cought by proper organs and dealt with accordingly!
Attached is screenshot from my mates camera:
With time stamp few moments ago.
If there is anything that me or my family can help you with, please let me know!
Sorry to hear this
If I was you I would install one of these http://www.adverts.ie/other-home-garden/bollard-heavy-duty-driveway-post/8653927
and then use one of these on the car http://www.adverts.ie/alarms-security/steering-wheel-lock/7781322
That will be enough to deter any run of the mill Scrotes from hitting your place as a Handy number
after that you are in to organised lads and there is much handier out there to take
I would do this even if I didnt keep your current car as bye your track record of cars if there coming back they will just have a go at whatever is in the drive way next so I wouldnt be selling it to avoid that
and any that come along just because of the car then what I have mentioned above should sway them of it too
Up that way its generally opportunists and there are plenty of easier Grab's around than your own with the right Deterrents put in to the mix it should be the end of it in my view
I know its A Massive Concern when the Family are involved but I dont see it as helping them bye changing car
Beef the security and add cameras your in a built up area and dont have to worry about seclusion like some will so its a different equastion in my view than some of the answers above as Location plays a good part of the solutions you put in place
Anyway Hope whatever your decison is, it gets sorted and the Family are All well at the end of the day wich is the Important thing
Try not to let a Few Fook Heads Ruin your Holiday's

I also bought that clamp Rob had for sale as I figured it would be handy to have, if I ever got any unwanted attention
you are more than welcome to borrow it for a while if it helps your current situation

Fair play colm
Don't let the scum win we all work bloody hard to have our type of cars
I used this for a few years it's a serious bit of kit gave it to a Isdc member last year bout 100 euro in halfords.
Between it and the Clifford most will just move on to another car

Been meaning to pick one of them disc locks up for a bit of added protection
Another thing we had years ago was a peddle lock the old man made them in work not very visible but did a great job
Stopped his car getting taken a few times

Defo made the right decision in getting the car off the property.
I never relised how often I looked out the window to make sure it was still there.
Other half is so much more relaxed too.
I actually got sensor lights installed when I got the car another excuse to jump off
The couch when activated????
Maybe it's the area i live in or maybe it's bad timing/luck
Think I'll get a cheap wrx for trackday and store in somewhere ( get my moneys worth from the membership????????) Defo sticking around.

Defo. Sounds like you made the right decision.
I'm lucky where I live now in that the car is very tucked away in a garage and I'm in the sticks. Used worry me when I lived where the car was right outside the door. No matter how much security you have its not worth it for peace of mind for you and other half.

24 hour security cameras that are on record feeding into all TVs around the house. Garage alarm and house alarm installed. Sometimes I can't park in the garage but back at the back of the house beside the back door out of visibility of the main road.
Just have the car alarm but might get additional security after this thread!!

Sorry to hear about these scumbags have put you through. My first integra was broken into, little sh*ts bent the top of the door out, didn't know what they were at. One of them even cut their hand doing it. Went to the guards, basically said ok yeah we will note that and that was it. But I remember for weeks after waking up most nights to check and being uneasy in my house, horrible feeling. Luckily (touch wood) it hasn't happened with the cars iv bought since.
But if you and the family feel more comfortable with it gone (and im sure its made the misses Christmas ha) then you've made the right choice. And someone will get a cracking Scooby too, lets hope it stays in the club.
