#1: car keys stolen Author: Diablo, Location: CoventryPosted: Wed Dec 08, 2010 2:23 am ---- Ok basically last night my car keys were stolen from the house. The car wasn't taken or touched and I still have the spare key so can still drive it but I need to get the locks changed because I don't want them to come back for it in the future.
I've already called my car insurance and they say they won't cover it because the car hasn't been stolen and the home insurance would have a massive excess on it. So can anybody tell me how much it is likely to cost change all the locks and recode the car so the old fob won't open it?

#3: Re: car keys stolen Author: Diablo, Location: CoventryPosted: Wed Dec 08, 2010 2:34 am ---- they open at 9am but yeah will give them a call. will probably be stupidly expensive though

Arm & a leg.
Or don't change the locks & instead see if you can convince the old bill to camera up the car. What a brilliant opportunity to catch the thieving scum red handed.

now that is a good idea!!! the cops are coming back later so will try and get them to do that. called a few places and thier all talking atleast £200 so i might have to get second hand locks and get them fitted

#13: Re: car keys stolen Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Dec 08, 2010 4:15 am ---- They probably took the keys hoping it was a decent Peugeot but when they noticed it was a 1.4 litre 206 they decided to walk instead!!

Take the car to Peugeot.
They can ERASE the stolen key from the memory so it will never start the car again.
The thief can still gain access if they stick the key in the door lock but the remote & transponder will be useless
i want to make sure they can't get into the car either though. found a place that can change the locks and make new keys for £250ish so alot cheaper than getting it done by peugeot

That's pretty c*ntish but at the same time one of the funniest comments i've read for ages

already got a quote from peugeot but thanks. decided to get it done somewhere else. getting both door locks, ignition and petrol cap locks changed and new remote keys for £258 which seems like a good price

#22: Re: car keys stolen Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Dec 09, 2010 3:40 am ---- glad to hear it mate.
we had alot of cars by us taken. they were using a hook on a pole through the letter box to take peoples keys that were by the door.....
#23: Re: car keys stolen Author: Diablo, Location: CoventryPosted: Thu Dec 09, 2010 3:49 am ---- i'll be keeping my keys in a drawer from now on.
turns out 2 other houses on the next street were broken into aswell on the same night. must of been really stupid burglars though because all they got from my house in the end was a sat nav, a old phone that doesn't even work and keys which are going to be useless now
#24: Re: car keys stolen Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Dec 09, 2010 3:49 am ---- probably kids mate....
#25: Re: car keys stolen Author: Diablo, Location: CoventryPosted: Thu Dec 09, 2010 3:52 am ---- yeah probably was kids. no fully grown adult would fit through the window they got in through
