My Audi got Stolen
My 2000 Audi TT 1.8t got stolen from a secure parking lot 
I cant believe that someone stole my baby.........
these guys are pro's
first they got into a secure parking lot.. we dont have a camera yet on our parking lot and thats what pisses me off.. because I wanted to know how they broke into my car without breaking the windows... :S
second my car has a stock alarm and got through that too..
they probably have a scannner to scan the frequency of the garage door opener from my building and most probably they towed my car.... maybe....
anyone have any idea...
also the 2000 audi TT doesnt have an immobilizer built in.... only the 2001 and above...

RE: My Audi got Stolen
well I read a DIY post about how they can take a screw driver and puch through the door and unlock your car on older audi's. the DIY article told you how to rectify this.
i'll see if i can find it for ya man.

Locking System Modification Phil Becker 2004
Most A4/S4 cars are stolen by manually unlocking the drivers door with a screwdriver or other implement which is used to puncture the door skin and then to locate the Lock cylinder to lock mechanism arm, and then by manipulating this arm the door can be unlocked.
Procedure
1. Remove door panel from drivers side and Passenger side (pre 99.5)
2. Locate lock cylinder
3. Disconnect metal arm from lock cylinder
4. Remove white/yellow plastic cuff from lock cylinder (pull)
5. Follow lock arm down to door lock
6. Unscrew the metal arm from the black connector on the lock housing.
Once this arm is removed the door can no longer be manually unlocked. The key will still work in the door lock to unlock/lock the doors of the car.
What this achieves
The door is no longer manually unlocked by using the key in the door. Using the key in the door now tells the alarm system to activate the vacuum pump which then locks/unlocks the doors.
Unlocking the doors from the drivers door will now require 2 twists to the left. it used to require 1 to unlock the drivers door and 2 to unlock all doors.
This modification can also be done to the 99.5+ cars which only have a drivers door lock. 99 and earlier cars have both passenger side and driver's side keyholes. Both sides should be modified incase a passenger side break-in is attempted rather than the driver's side.
