I was away last week to then come home to find my beautiful Abarth 595 Turismo missing.
Some low life filthy scumbag has stolen it from outside my front door!
I am totally gutted , it was a mint example with just 3000 joyous miles in little over a year on the clock from new.
It seems these are pretty easy to steal, the police and insurance company's claim handler both tell me the percentage of cars stolen to those registered is one of the highest there is.
Reading on the Abarth forums, they all tend to go without keys and rarely turn up again, they just disappear into the ether. Methinks they hack into them via the OBD2 port to get them running.
If you have one and there's no extra security, consider investing in some now before it's too late.
You don't want feel like I do right now.
