I'm writing an article currently for my uni course looking at the rise in classic car thefts and how it affects people. Because I used to own a Mini I know how attached we get to our cars, and the threat of having mine stolen was always a terrifying thought. Have any of you had a Mini - or any car which meant a lot to you - stolen - and how did it affect you? I would really appreciate it if you could share the emotions you went through. To many people cars are just transportation devices, so I want to raise awareness of just how emotionally involved we get with our cars. 

 

Thank you!

While I've not had any stolen, the thought of that stops me from driving many of mine and is part of the reason I'm selling all my Minis.

Completely get that. It was a contributing factor towards me selling mine. Didn't want to leave it anywhere.
