Hi folks,

I got burgled last night and the thieving ?$%£ got one set of keys (key and remote fob) for my '04 Cherokee KJ.

Not satisfied with seeing me robbed once, my local Jeep stealership has just quoted me 600 quid (and a ten day wait) to fit new locks.

Any thoughts on how to solve this for less cash, so I might be able to avoid an insurance claim and keep my no claims intact for a while longer?

Cheers, Andy

The first thing to do is move the Jeep to a secure location...they have taken those keys for a reason....!

the bastards will be back for the motor for sure. you need to imobalise it some way or another. better still sleep in the back with a shotgun and get some pay back. sorry to hear about your situation mate there are some real shit heads out there.

Only a Jeep dealer has the kit to program the SKIS immobiliser system to accept replacement keys.  I'd get quotes from nsom other dealers though.

isn't the cost covered by house or car insurance ?

[thebadhatter]

Cheers for your answers. Missus has taken car with her to work, so it is now 200 miles away for the rest of the week.....

Sounds like I had better start ringing round the nice friendly franchised dealers...

House insurance should cover it I would have thought, might be worth a phone call at the very least

move it fast, I had one of my bikes nicked an the mofo's came back 5 months later and broke in again to see what I replaced it with, when I was living with parents a coupla years back they broke a small window,put a fishing pole through window and had the keys off the side in the kitchen and drove off in the car,in the same week another house was done an car stolen in same way! definately sleep in car with shotgun, but be sporting an just take the knee caps off!  as you can tell I really dislike scummy  's that thief!

one has this waiting for em, not that my jeep is worth nicking

[Dave69]

i had a motorbike sotlen from my parents house, they moved two cars which were almost touching the garage door. picked the bike up and carried it out due to locks etc. somehow they didin't manage to set the car alarms off. the daft thing is my brother in law had his over stocked snap on tool kit and air tools in the same garage which was worth more than the bike but they decided to leave that

A friend of mine had his workshop broken into, once they were in they tried ramming their way out through his security door with a customers Range Rover. They failed
He also had his toolboxes welded to the building's framework, so the couldn't take those either

















So they torched the place
Poor bastard lost everything he'd built up over 40 years hard work, his livelyhood, his premises, 8 or 9 customer's vehicles and his workshop cat

He committed suicide weeks later

[ferretjuggler]

With the attitude of the police force in this country you'd do better just letting them take it

Any action taken one your part will result in you doing far more time than they would get for robbing 100 vehicles.

If you're really vindictive, fit a tracking device to the jeep (an unofficial one)

You'll lose the jeep but at least you'll be able to get your revenge

[isle of man]

If the jeep goes west you could call the Lithuanian!!!!!
