Mates highly spec'd Focus RS was stolen this morning at 1:15am in Cheltenham, they tried taking the other Green RS too on the drive but the alarm went off.
Other RS owners, know there are /were a couple on here be very wary! In the last 48 hours 6 RS's/ST's have been stolen!
The car has since been seen 3 times on camera in Bromsgrove, Birmingham. Any information please do not hesitate to call the police or the owner directly here

Meant to be easy to steal aren't they? Though ford would have learnt from all the issues they had back in the 90s with the cossies

Anything is easy to steal if you pinch the keys

Probably the same people that broke into Wright Automotive in Hinckley to steal a Focus RS but instead dropped it off the ramp and got it stuck.
Hinckley is only 45 mins from bham too.

I'll let my mate know, although since his is sat in the garage inbetween a 14 plate Audi R8 and an 12 plate MK Indy I'm not sure which would go first
