Meet and greet firm £21k sports car lost audi pinched – and house raided
KATE Gerrard, 35, has lost her nearly-new £21,000 Golf R sports car after leaving it with Car Park Manchester for £65 for a week.
She landed from a family holiday in Turkey on August 20 to be told by the firm they were bringing her car.
Kate said that at first, staff said the key was missing. But when she returned with a spare, she was told the car was not there. Kate said: “I had to go back and walk around their car lot in the woods clicking my key, but my car didn’t turn up.
“After over an hour they said it must have been stolen. How do you lose a car and not know?” GEORGINA Firth, 41, returned from holiday in Menorca on Monday, August 14, to be told her car was missing.
It transpired the £15,000 Audi A4 had been stolen and house keys left in the vehicle had been used to enter her home.
After a two hour wait, Georgina and her husband Anthony say a taxi was sent by the firm to collect them and take them home to Penrhyn Bay in Wales.
Three days earlier, Georgina’s 17-year-old son Nathan called to tell her two men had gone into their home. He managed to chase them off.
Georgina said: “We were already stressed out when we arrived in Manchester, as our son had told us a few days before about people going into our home. The penny dropped when we were told our car had gone as our house keys were in it. My insurance documents were in the car, which had our address on. It all made sense as the police in North Wales couldn’t understand how the men had got in as there was no forced entry.
“We have had to use our own insurance to pursue this.”
