My T5 was broken into on Monday night/Tuesday morning.
I left it fully locked and windows closed!!
The thieves punched a hole in the door, just above the lock [Drivers door] and gained entry somehow - also both windows were open?
So now need new door + lost use of van as ins. company say I would not be insured if van was broken into again or stolen before repair carried out. :mad:
I don't know if this is a known problem but owners BEWARE.
Surely VW should strengthen this area of the door?
I have a photo which I can try and post if anyone interested.
PS - Another T5 [just up the road] was broken into the same way that night aswell.
