Now here is a thought maybe in the near future as our body and interior parts become hard to get scrapped XF's will more valuable and that could result in XF's getting stolen more often.
This wouldn't stop thieves across the Pond. They just break into your house at night and steal the keys. If they can't locate them, they wake you up with either a gun or a baseball bat staring at your face. This is quite rare but does happen.
It hasn't happended to me personally but I know people who have been through this type of ordeal. The cars in question were Mitsubishi Evolutions which I personally believe are being stolen to order and broken down into parts. The sum of the parts is worth more than the car itself so is quite lucrative to these low life scum of the earth creatures.
Many owners of EVO's have resulted to buying a big dog!
