This is the horrifying moment thieves stole a car with two children strapped in the backseat. A black BMW had been trawling the suburban area looking for unattended running cars in Bradford, West Yorkshire. After spotting an unguarded car with a one-year-old and four-year-old in the back, the thieves quickly jumped out and ran to it. In the CCTV footage shows two hooded thieves jump out of the BMW and up the drive of the unsuspecting mother. They quickly reverse out of drive after the mother desperately runs after them trying to open the car door. The 51-year-old lorry driver who captured the incident on video said: 'I heard screaming and quickly put my shoes on. Is this an accident or a crash-for-cash scam? The children were both both found at the end of the road after the incident which took place at 8am on last Wednesday. A Bradford Police spokesperson said: 'Police were called to a report of a vehicle being stolen with children in it in Kestrel Drive, Bradford at 8.06am on Wednesday 31 October. Officers attended and found both children safe and well. The vehicle, a black Volkswagen Jetta, was later found abandoned. CCTV of the incident has been handed into police.

How times have changed. With the consumer mindset in economy mode, small, efficient cars are getting a second look. Doubly so if said car is both practical and fun to drive. Cue the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI. Far from holding the image of a car that only librarians, college professors, soccer moms, or hippies would be caught dead in, the Jetta SportWagen is impressive in the flesh. It comes across as fresh, smart - even sporty. Our tester was fitted with optional 17-in. alloys, which only helped further that perspective. Notably, our car also came with a small TDI badge on the rear hatch, which meant that VW's 2.0L direct-injection, 140-hp, 236-lb-ft turbodiesel engine was under the hood. Build quality, true to Teutonic form, is very good. While VW is the most economical German brand to sell automobiles in the U.S., there's still no doubt where the Jetta SportWagen TDI hails from.
Doors close with a solid thunk, paintwork is deep and glossy, and the interior is trimmed to a relatively high level, using good quality black vinyl that could fool the casual observer into thinking it is actually leather. There is a fair amount of plastic in the cabin, notably on the center console and door panels, but it too is of good quality and finished in matte black -- arguably the most appealing finish for plastic trim. Driver ergonomics are especially laudable, the SportWagen able to adapt to a wide array of driving positions with its standard tilting/telescoping steering column and split manual/power adjustable driver seat. Rear legroom is adequate, if not overly spacious, for a car of this class. The unit combines both navigation and audio controls, and while we found the system fairly easy to use, there did seem to be a longer than average delay when switching between menus, features, or even radio stations. The delay wasn't long enough to be frustrating, but it was noticeable - and in all fairness, we've noticed a similar delay in other Volkswagen and non-MMI-equipped Audi automobiles.
Upon first glance, the large span of tinted glass looks impressive with two separate sliding shades, one each for both front and rear occupants. As with most panoramic sunroofs, VW's example allows only the forward half to slide open, with the rear glass section fixed in place. Though the roof brings an entertaining view to passengers, along with a light, airy feel to the cockpit, we found it significantly reduces headroom both front and rear. We also had another issue with the roof's sealing. Most drivers noted an odd buffeting, even with the roof in the fully closed position - an issue we chalked up to improper sealing causing audible changes in air pressure. All that glass way up high does no favors for either curb weight or center-of-gravity. Factor in the added cost, and passing on this tick box on the option sheet is a no-brainer. The SportWagen variant gives 32.8 cu ft of cargo space -- more than double the already-generous 16-cu-ft cargo area of the Jetta sedan. Fold the 60/40 split rear seats flat, and up to 66.9 cu-ft becomes accessible for larger items, or just more stuff.
