A Rubery mum of two severely disabled children has been left distraught after callous thieves targeted her dream car twice in as many months.

Furious Sharon Cleary of Callowbrook Lane has hit out after waking up last week to find all four alloy-wheels had been removed from her MGTF roadster.

The car was a replacement for another MGTF, which was stolen from her drive in March, just 15 days after she had purchased it. This vehicle contained her son's blue disabled parking badge.

Police advised Sharon other people in the village had also reported MG cars having been stolen the same night.

"I do not have a highly paid job, but having a nice car is one of my personal luxuries that I work hard for.

"I got my first MGTF through a lease agreement with MG, which enabled me to afford such a spectacular car, " said Sharon.

"As the parent of two severely disabled children this seemed like such a nice thing to have for myself. A treat just for me, after all my husband and I have to work twice as hard as most to get half as far as most because we have two disabled children."

The car is worth £17,500 and is not only a dream car for Sharon, but for her sons, who have nicknamed it the 'Bat mobile'.

Their conditions render them unable to use public transport so they rely on the car to get around.

It is now on bricks in a garage awaiting inspection.

Sharon suspects professional criminals may have targeted her as the car has an extremely sophisticated alarm system, which is difficult to breach.

"How, may I ask, were they able to firstly steal a car that was fitted with an alarm and immobiliser without detection, and secondly - lift a car that has an alarm so sensitive that a car racing past on the A38 will cause enough vibration to trigger it?"

Both the wheels and the alarm system will need replacing and Sharon's already hefty insurance is set to rocket.

"Whoever did this I would like to extend a thank you for again taking money away from me and my children," she added.
