Have you or someone in your immediate family (father, mother or sibling) had a vehicle stolen?
How did it turn out in the end?

My dad's Cavalier SRi was taken when I was about that age too, he was working for the Plods then, some old boy called up and told them he'd seen a car being stripped outside his house.
They called dad at home, said "where's your car?", he says "on my drive", they say "no it's at this address being stripped, get your arse down there" 
Got it back fine minus stereo, they'd got the rims off but dropped em when the Police arrived.

have a stolen recoved, and basically fine - well it was technically the police who stole it, had an attempted twoc, they push it down the road, and couldn't start it, due to no ecu in it, police tried knocking at my old house, as i'd temorary moved, and go no answer so impounded it..
also, had another stole from outside my sisters, which i got back, but had every panel kicked in on the car, so basically a write off
also, had another attempted thief outside my old work, but just stole my parcel shelf with speakers on
not that lucky me really

In my childhood my mother had her Escort Cossie Stolen. It was only about 6 months old and stolen on the 7th attempt despite all manner of additional security measures.
Never traced, never recovered.

Was reading in TG Magazine, guy had his Cossie nicked, then traced to a housing estate, Police decided to set a trap for the lad who'd taken it but when he came back, the car had been re-stolen by another scrote.

We had a mint XR2 stolen. Never saw it again.
We also had a Cav GSI 4x4 (from brand new, the reg was J332RPP but can't remember whether it was a turbo or not) which they tried to steal about 10 times, with varying success. They never managed to actually get the car away, but we came out several times to snapped steering columns, broken windows and door locks.
The best bit about it, was every time they failed to steal ours, they stole one of our neighbours Mk2 Cav SRIs. It always ended up in the same area when it was recovered too

Brothers 53 plate Astra GSI was stolen off the drive, never to be seen again. We still had both sets of keys and there was no glass on the floor. We think it was taken on a low lowder.

Brother-in-laws shit box astra got nicked off his drive! Went out looking for it and found it in a layby with 2 lads and 2 lasses sat in it! Walked up to the car and pulled the driver out who was about 14! I wanted to teach him a lesson but my sister who's a copper said no cos she'd phoned for 'back up'! They all ran into the local woods where they were chased and caught by the police dog!

My Mum had her car stolen about 8years ago. It was recovered eventually, but she couldn't bear to have it back so sold it on straight after and got another car.
My friend Kevin had his Range Rover stolen and it was recovered 6months later. But by then the insurance etc had already payed out.
And Little Vik off here had her FRS stolen last week (Sun night) and luckily it was found Wed and she got it home Friday.
So luckily they were all recovered eventually

My Corsa (one in my avatar) was stolen early January this year.
Lad who took it got time for it but the shell with engine etc has never been found and I still think its in a lockup local to me.
The lad was only caught as I recovered my wheels and bumpers myself and had to harass the police

Uncle had his ERSC stolen years ago.
Cut hole in the kitchen glass, opened window, went upstairs and went through his coat pockets, left a tripwire at the top of the stairs, moved a rover out of the way then made off with it.
Never found.
