im going to have to change my house locks, ive moved my car to another address until its sorted, but what do i need to do about my car?????? new locks,immobiliser, ecu, cheers for any help??????????

House locks are a must. Chances are it was just an opportunist thief and the keys etc are of no use. The phone'll be getting used for calls abroad and then go up at a boot sale.

Ofcourse there is the possibility that it ends up in the hands of an identity thief who obtains loads of credit and goods in your name.

Ensure that the police give you a crime reference number which you can quote to the insurance co.
