After 7 weeks, countless phone calls and massive logistical exercises, I finally have my car back.

My only set of keys had been stolen in the break in. And so there was no way to get the car moving again.

On the day of the robbery, a locksmith opened the car up. Under instruction from insurance, a tow truck brought it to the nearest Merc dealership. Which ended up being in Malmesbury.

To order a replacement key from Germany, I needed a massive amount of documentation. And this wasn’t on hand because my parents had moved and we couldn’t find some of the paperwork (turns out I had it). And then, it would have taken around 10 weeks to get a key from Germany.

So we were able to find a locksmith (thanks Jared) who could get it done much quicker. And I ordered it last week, and got it sorted today.

A big thank you to NK Locksmiths and Malmesbury Motors for being so great.

I finally have wheels again
