My 1st thought was "they *stripped* the starter bolts?"

Bastaaaardes' <sayed with a Castillian accent>

They stripped them because they didn't have the liquid wrench it would 
take to get the bolt out, and/or the right tool (more likely).

You don't need to source Scirocco specific bolts, you can get the hex 
cap headed bolts used in other models.

Es Stupido! (No, I don't really speak Spanish, can't you tell?)

Be sure to get back all your old parts. In fact go in and look at the 
mechs. Don't *say* anything, just glare at them until they get nervous.
