Tell The Police, You Never Know...
Further to my last post, I recommend that people register their theft with the Police, and whats more this can be done on line at http://www.online.police.uk/english/default.asp Although it is unlikely that the Police will be able to do much, if they have over 300 crimes that are similar in nature they may find the pattern and perhaps catch the culprits.
By not reporting your theft, the only people that benefit are the criminals and the dealers. Its also very easy to do on the Police's non-emergency minor crime notification site.
If you have taken the time to register on this site then I recommend that you take the time report the incident.

The Zafira is a good all round family car
Based on the Vauxhall Astra chassis, there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, such as the general driving ride and the quality of the car as a whole.
There have been a few problems that general users have seen with the cars, such as:
- The engine cutting out when idle.
- The In car radio not functioning correctly.
- A squeaking noise from the brakes after only 10,000 miles or so use.
- Spare wheel thefts.
- A necessity to keep refilling the oil on diesel models (1 litre every thousand miles or so).
- Small storage space.
- Strange engine noises which can not be located or fixed.
Saying this, however. The car is very practical and does have some very good points. The innovative ?Flex 7? seating system makes it very easy to switch the car from 5 to 7 seats without too much hassle.
Other nice features include easy access to the car thanks to the wide opening doors, ideal for families with small children, and an anti-stall device. Designed to stop the car from stalling a low revs.
The car is generally very good and although a minority of owners have had some problems, it represents extremley good value for money and provides a great means of getting the whole family from one place to another.
