I'm happy to share the cost - once I know myself. I agree that it wasn't amateurs because there were a few high quality items in the car which could have been sold for a sum on Ebay but it all remained untouched. I also have a holdall in the car which I keep super neat and orderly, and I have it back now completely untouched. Opportunists would have rummaged and stolen stuff, and probably set it on fire or something. Car will go to Lexus for a final check, hybrid check, and then various levels of security are being installed, all on the same day before finally coming back home.

The last 7 weeks have been a complete nightmare. Forensics we're finally done and I was allowed to collect my belongings from the pound, but wasn't allowed to see the car. Only thing they took was my dashcam. The car was moved on Monday just gone (22 April) to the repair place, and I was finally able to see my car. There is no damage, and wires have been pulled in the boot and carpets in front under the dash. She drives too which surprised me. So now I wait for a few scratches to be repaired, wiring put back, then I'll get my car back probably in about 2 weeks or so. Insurance sent my documents and keys back, reinstated insurance and I've re-taxed the car.

I hadn't thought of that, thank you.

My Lexus NX was stolen from Essex on 13th March 2024 by CAN theft. Yesterday, 27 March, it was found by police and taken in to the pound for forensics. But now I have a ton of questions. The policeman was with the car when he called and ran through everything in the car and it seems like nothing has been taken - not even my Oakley sunglasses and a few other expensive items. He was describing the contents of the car exactly as i always leave it. I don't even think they opened the glove compartment. So this is all good. However, he said there is some damage from where they have pulled out wires looking for a tracker. I don't know the extent of this damage and I don't even know where this would be? Does this mean they ripped the dash completely off? I don't know. Can this damage be fixed? What about the CAN? I am assuming that the car cannot be driven and I'll have to get it transported to Lexus once released from the pound. Then my next concern is insurance - I've already sent them the logbook and keys. The claim is still in process and no settlement figure has been given to me or even discussed yet. Do I get these items back? Do I have to get a new set of keys and start over? Do I need to apply for a new log book? The pound will only release when presented with the logbook, which insurance have so this leaves me confused and very anxious. I do want my car back but I have concerns, however even if I didn't want it back, I wouldn't have a choice because it's been found, is this right? Has anyone been through this? Any help is appreciated! Edit to add: I've also already notified the DVLA. If I get it back, do I have to redo all the on the road bits? I've looked for information on this but nowhere has any clear cut info.

My NX was stolen from Basildon last week on 13th March 2024 by CANbus. I'm so angry at Lexus, they have known about this since 2019 but left us all in the dark until it was aired on BBC Watchdog last week - ironically the same day mine was stolen. https://www.reportcanbus.com/

Mine was stolen last week and police don't care. They are being stolen using the CANbus method. We all need to band together and get a class action lawsuit.

I'm in. My 21 reg Lexus NX was stolen from Basildon last week on 13th March 2024. That car was everything to me 😞 I'm not rich but it was my dream to have a Lexus and it was fully paid off. Some people can easily replace a car - I cannot. I plain and simple do not have the money and probably never will again. I'm heartbroken 💔 The irony is that the CANbus issue was aired on BBC Watchdog on the same day that mine was stolen (13 March 2024) and in response to the airing, Lexus released a statement - literally hours too late for me. Had I known, I would have done everything possible to protect my car, but I've been in the dark all this time when Lexus have known about this since 2019. I'm now left with public transport after the luxury of an SUV. I'm on board for a class action lawsuit. If anyone has any info, please get in touch with me.
