Anyone ever recover a stolen A4?
To my great chagrin, some unmentionable human being picked up the keys
that I apparently dropped in the parking lot of my workplace and stole
my wonderful 98.5 A4 2.8 last Saturday. What's the prognosis here:
will I get this car back in decent shape, or am I doomed? If I'm
doomed, what do I replace it with, for under $20k? I really am upset
as I wasn't ready to let the car go. It had only 112,000 miles on it!

Sorry for your loss KLS.
Yes there is hope. They probably only went for a test drive and when
they run out of gas they will park it somewhere.
Did you post a picture of your car everywhere close to you and explain
that it is a stolen vehicle?
Craigslist.org
here and elsewhere?

we just don't think that such opportunists are lingering around.....or maybe
watching our every move.
a friend had his motor cycle pinched, this was many years back, and when
eventually returned after a few weeks only, it was in better condition than
before it disappeared
just recently my father had his £1500 Ifor Williams trailer taken, he only
went out for 1 hour returning to find it gone...............nobody saw
nuffink as they say in the smoke. Opportunists watching all the
time............. I say.
The big Q is will it ever be returned as the USA is much larger than the UK.

The county sheriff knows about it, and so does the public safety
department of my university. Craigslist is an interesting idea: I'll
check it out.
