Thanks so much to all of you for your input, I’m so pleased we got the car back 🙏🏼 A lot of people are asking if I’m giving it away on POD but I’m not unfortunately. I am giving an M4 away so if you’ve not yet got your free entry get it here: www.planetofdreams.co.uk/draws/hybrid-turbo-m4-competition-11-02-24

Not saying it isn’t a set up but they weren’t given permission to take the car out or given trade plates. They unplugged the battery charger and off they went. What makes me think it was a set up is that they were left unattended with the keys to an expensive car and the rather relaxed approach to it all, I don’t care who you are you’d be a lot more aggravated about the situation than he was.

There’s a reason for this… I had a friend who was a bit of a naughty boy back in the day. One evening he stole a car, the police chased him and it turned bad and he sadly lost his life. He was one of my best friends when I was a kid, he might’ve made some bad decisions as he got older but his core was good. These lads could be good lads just making stupid decisions. When my car got stolen I thought about my friend. I’m glad the boys didn’t hurt themselves.

Yeah. Got to say I am not happy to hear Calvin has done nothing to them. At minimum he should have provided their details to the police. If they did it to Calvin they have done it to other people and I GUARANTEE they will do it to someone else. It will help the next person if there is a record of these two people having stolen the car from Calvin. They clearly came intending to steal it. It was not a sudden decision. It was planned. I understand Calvin doesnt want to risk reprisals from the gang against his business but he isnt helping their future victims.

Glad you got it back Calv. Here in the states the dealer makes a copy of your drivers license usually before they let you take a car out for a test drive. Or they go with you on the test drive.

THE KEY. Glad you got it back, but to anyone reading this, if someone steals your car with THE KEY you will be on a wing and a prayer for an insurance pay out. SAFEGUARD your key at all times. Do not leave it on a bar. In a jacket. THE KEY is king. Rant over! Loved the video as always Calvin.

I recommend as a car sales executive who has worked for main dealerships all my life, just a small change which I recommend is do a license check + Check code + proof of address check before letting anyone go on test drive. Thats how dealerships do it, they do online checks on drivers license etc, then give the keys for test drive. Try that Calvin ive been watching your content for years on all my devices and it hurts to even imagine what you went through when the m3 got taken

I believe by having trust in the majority you achieve more than you would if you didn’t. Of the 10,000+ cars that we’ve sold only one has gone missing but we got it back. All 10,000 of those people appreciate how trustworthy we are. It definitely goes a long way. I’ve considered change but I’ve not concluded much yet.

Next time I'm in MK area I'll pop in and have a chat. Got something incredibly affordable that you'll be interested in to stop this ever happening again, especially for high value items. Won't mention specifics as it's security related. Also, anger is useful sometimes if you can direct that energy into something productive. For me it was moving some 3m long 50kg awkward pallets by myself the other day. Got it done and you feel stronger when angry, it's great. No point smashing things or people up though, unless it's at a BJJ Gym or something haha
