Hello, I am a journalist for the Sunday Times investigating VW car badge's being stolen for a news story. On VW's the car sensor is kept behind the badge and it costs upwards of £1,000 to replace them. I saw a thread on this forum back in February saying people in East Dulwich have been victims of this crime.
The Guardian did a story about this issue in south London last year as well: https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/04/vw-cars-parts-theft-cruise-control-sensors-insurance-golf-passat
I am looking for case studies of people who have had their car badge's stolen for the story - please get in touch via email or WhatsApp if this has happened to you. My email:

I have also heard Mercedes cars get targeted for this crime. If you have a different make of car and this happened to you, please do get in touch as well.
Thanks,
Hugo
