A young Fife dad says he’s devastated at the theft of his car from outside his home in the early hours of Sunday.
Brandon Knox, 22, from Dunfermline doesn’t even know how he’ll get to work in Perth on Monday.
And he says that with a baby on the way and two young children to ferry around he’s going to struggle without his car.
Car stolen early Sunday morning from Dunfermline
Brandon, who work for a traffic management company, said the car, a blue BMW, was taken from outside his home in Dunfermline’s Inverewe Place sometime in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Brandon said: “I had given my parents a lift home from a party and got back to my house about 1am and parked the car up.”
He says that at 3am he went outside after he heard someone screaming and is pretty sure his car was still in it’s parking space at that time.
However, when he went out at 10am to get his car to take his kids for a day out the car was gone.
Brandon said: “I couldn’t believe it. I’m devastated my car has been stolen – I actually just feel empty and can’t believe this has happened to me.”
Brandon and his partner Keira Baillie already have a six-month-old baby together, he is stepdad to her five-year-old son and the couple have another baby on the way.
He said: “Apart from getting to work I have to take Keira for lots of hospital and doctor appointments because she is pregnant.
“That’s going to be really hard without my car and just getting my family around will be difficult.”
Brandon said the car was the only one he could afford the insurance payments for.
He said: “I’m worried that another car will cost too much in insurance now apart from anything else.
“I had also just had it valeted and it had two new tyres on it.”
He said he had no idea how the thieves managed to get into his car or start it.
He said: “The keys are still in my house. I just want to get the word out there about what has happened and make my car too hot to handle for anyone who might want to try to sell it.”
Police enquiries ongoing
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report around 12.25pm on Sunday, that a car had been stolen from a property on Inverewe Place, Dunfermline overnight.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
