Audis ringed

On 1st June this year, I purchased a brand new Audi A6 Avant S line Special Edition. 5 weeks later it was stolen from my drive following a night-time burglary while my family and I were asleep to get my keys. (The Police caught the burglar with my car in Liverpool). When my car was recovered it needed 4 new wheels and tyres fitted at a cost of £5,220. I was chatting to the Audi dealer who told me that another of his customers had a new Audi A3 stolen as well as a Salesman’s A5 and the Dealer Principal’s S5 - So 4 in total. A friend of mine who runs a Car Fleet Management Co in the Midlands supplied 3 new Audi A3s to a customer of and all 3 were stolen. Seems like an Audi theft pattern. Have you heard anything similar?

That's new to me. Over to the readers. But if there is a customer for Audis somewhere, it would explain the problem. If they are all petrol models they might be going to RHD Malaysia. But not if they are diesels.
