FirstWheels City Elite Stolen, anyone got a spare base.

Our house was broken into last night, they took the laptop and my car. There's normally nothing left in the car, but on our last trip out we had to call out the RAC on the motorway, we were late back home, stressed, rushing to get DD (4) in bed so we decided to leave the pram base in the boot.

So we're now carless and pramless. DS is only 10 weeks old, I use a sling to carry him most of the time, but he's a big lad. I also don't fancy having him in a sling if it snows.

So does anyone happen to have a base for a firstwheels city elite that they no longer need and I could buy? It's the older version from 4 years ago. There are some on ebay, but I have a lovely carrycot, pram seat, & car seat, even the adaptors. Maybe some one on here has one where the seat parts are past their best?

Maybe...? I know, massive long shot, but I hate waste, and I love my pram. Evil thieving gits!

I can't help but just wanted say poor you! what a horrible horrible thing for them to do. I hope you can get things sorted ASAP.

Thankyou so much!
We're just east of Manchester, so a few of those could be doable. I'll contact some tomorrow.

We've never been burgled before, we've not got much for anyone to take, the only gadget we have is my old ipod which was in the car, and my phone that I keep by the bed for MNing during night time feeds :) but I keep spotting things that have gone. My Dad's Tomtom that I'd borrowed, the laptop was a gift from FIL. They took a present from under the tree for MIL, it was a roll of binbags :o I found those strewn further down the road earlier. It's all they deserve! (Thieves, not MIL.) They took my purse too but that was discarded near the binbags.

I signed up to Shop and Scan a couple of weeks ago too (market research thing) the scanner fob was next to my keys so I'd remember to take it out and that's gone. I bet they thought it was some nifty gadget. Hopefully their disappointment at our slim pickings will stop them coming back.
