    I'm traditionally a man of fundamentalist upbringing, i never go to the authorities but I'm getting older wiser and have a lot to loose. Been discussing this with Natalie at length and I think I'm going to go to the to the police station tomorrow.

    One eye open tonight me thinks

    cheers

      As bernsaudi has said phone the police up and report it and any traffic car in the area will be on the look out for him and give them a tug to have a word,do it tonight as well as for all you know they might have seen the car outside the house?
      Just some finishing touches to do now

            I'd agree report it, I someone already has they may be waiting for another complaint before chasing it up

            If it stops the thieving scum getting one car its worth the phone call

            I'm the same with my bike, had one stolen when I was 17 that I'd completely rebuilt and painted in super bike colours so never let them out my sight now days and when I'm at work its in complete lock down.

              Right, it was defiantly not the police. Checked the reg out and it was sold 7 days ago by carcraft in Darlaston.

                    might be worth circulating the reg and a thread on Pistonheads...bigger reach and someone in the local area may well have had the same experience, non audi. Just a thought.

                    Not nice though

                        true but better to be safe than sorry, they didn't come across as the kind interested in a chat about the car

                          this happened to me in my renaultsport megane when i first got it, turned every which way and thecar still followed so i drove to the nearest police station and reported it didnt realise they would target an s2 as i think they are quite stealthy looking not alot to give away what they have under the bonnet

                            what if they were just admiring a true car, and thought about the pile of junk they were driving?

                              lol.. must admit I tried to keep with a MG ZT v8 leaving a roundabout the one day and he totally blew me away! so i followed him in to halfords, walked in to the shop and found him, and started talking to him about his car. He was good enough to pop the bonnet and show me the Kenne bell supercharger sitting on top of the 4.6 ford lump. 450bhp!!

                              he told me it drinks a lot..

                              nice chap tho.

                              But obviously this seems like it maybe an entirely different situation..

                                i have a friend who lives next to a traffic copper nd he has been told to watch for people following him home for this reason. he says there has been a massive increase in cars are been stolen using this method of following home and steeling the keys sometimes (6 or 7 a week). either hooking them through the letter box if left near the door or breaking in :corey:. So be careful everyone.
