Just to provide an update to members on this forum from the awful experience of having my beloved car stolen from my driveway.
The Police only gave me a crime reference number and today more that a month following the incident no local bobby have thought it fit to drop by. Though i have received the customary text message £soory to learn you have been a victim of Crime"
Thankfully my insurance company settled my claim in full within 10 days. (not sure if am allowed to name them but they were brilliant
I have been able to buy a new 23 plate BMW which I have fitted a Ghost 2 Immobiliser and a tracker. (Tessa Certified). My insurance company even kept my Policy open for 60 days after the settlement thus I was able to simply notify a change or registration number to get my new car insured
I have also had to install CCTV on my property to provide added deterrence. (more for my own reassurance rather than insurance requirement)
I have decided to give the Lexus brand a wide berth for the foreseeable future, sad to say after owing a GS450 h, an NX, and five RX's between 2014 -2023. My dealer from who I have bought my last four RX's tried passionately to persuade me to buy the latest RX but i told him no amount of sweeteners/ dealer contribution would tempt me to stay unless Lexus UK address the the inherent vulnerability of their cars to CAN bus thefts. (They offered me a whopping £7k discount+dealer contribution on the new RX450h+ to keep my business but I still declined)
I have decided to keep my Forum membership going for now but will continue to read the posts that interest me, but am now registered on several BMW forums so would probably keep more active on those.
Finally I would like to thank all members of this forum who sent me their commiseration & best wishes last month when I reported the incident on the forum, thankfully my story had a happy ending thanks to my brilliant Insurance company.
