Well it would seem that an Xantia is not a car that a thief will take even when an owner makes it easier to steal. Yes, I know there is a key pad code as well, but what this owner is doing, is surely making the car more attractive to a thief. Also the first thing an insurance company will say, is that you are not covered by leaving the key in the ignition, even though there is a key pad they will not want to meet a claim.
Here's the details on the car :-

That car is pretty rough, high mileage and poor paint means its just a set of spare parts on wheels. I doubt it'll go for much more than scrap value.

Yes, I agree it looks like it will be a donor car keeping other cars on the road.
It's amazing that the seller [xx(] has left the key in the ignition for two years, [xx(] and not had the car stolen or vandalised.

From the sounds of it, any claim for the loss of this car is likely to be less than most people's excess!

Sorry I assumed it did, well if that's the case, and it hasn't got the key pad then it is even more of a gift to a thief. [xx(]
Well it now has some bids, but they must be bidding to buy it, and strip it.
