Total Disaster - SL60 AMG stolen last night

Last night. F******* w****** broke into my house and stole my car keys before stealing my beautiful car.
Some good news - wife and kids are away staying at the in-laws. The thieves did no damage to the house and left my wallet, house keys, lap top and Blackberry even though they were right next to my car keys. They did steal £70 of cash.
The keys were not left by the front door - they were in the dining room.
I am totally distraught. Had cleaned the car last night and filled it up with £55 of Optimax. Went to bed at midnight and when I opened the front door at 7am this morning it was gone.

Its only a car, and I am counting my blessings that all the really bad things that could have happened didn't, but I am totally totally gutted.
Hundreds of pounds of Blaupunkt sat nav also gone which is only part-covered by my insurance policy.
God knows what I'll get offered by the insurance company in settlement....will be trawling the classifieds for ideas on prices.......

Eyes peeled please for silver/black SL60 P684 KMS stolen in North West London.

Soo glad that that it "only" was the car that was hurt. However, I know how you must feel and you have all of my sympathy.
