Lost/Stolen Stolen

[Felly Magic]

What a bunch of fucking cunts some people are, you cannot have anything these days without some light fingered twat wanting it. There are still plenty of dodgy scrapyards out there sadly who will deal with thieving bastards. Good luck, and hope it turns up

[Kiltox]

Going to see the cctv footage this afternoon.

Looks like I'm buying a Shitroen Dispatch on an 07 plate. Shit, not shite.

I know I won't like it. Too bloody new and with electronics that I haven't a clue about and would rather not have to find out about. I really dislike modern vans.

Please tell me it’s not a 1.6

[Mr Lobster]

Sorry to hear that, hope it turns up.

 

Thats why I hate leaving my van anywhere these days.

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

Awful news.I hope it turns up and you can get it back.

[UltraWomble]

Sorry to hear that
I hope whoever took it that their penis festers and never drops off

[clayts450]

FFS. Gutted for you mate, this is horse-shit of the highest order.

 

Good luck with the self-detection this afternoon.

[alcyonecorporation]

Oh fucking hell.

 

So sorry to read this, Paul. Will let CPUK and PSCUK know.

[chodweaver]

Sorry to hear that, sir. I really hope you have some luck getting it back. If you can, leave no stone unturned. The polis won't do a lot for you.

[JeeExEll]

Oh shit mate. I know how much you love that van.

 

What about FOADS one for sale?

That's a good call.

Early days yet and white one may turn up soon. Here's hoping anyway.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Not much I can add, or do probably from over here except to add my condolences, after 18yrs they're part of the family.

Hope it turns up somewhere at least......

Any images from cctv get em up with numbers on full display. Online media could be your friend.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

We need trackers in everything now.

Trouble is, thieves are also using trackers now.

[Ghosty]

Fuck sake, was a good van that.

 

Hope it finds its way back to you. Knobvan is a good call.

[bunglebus]

On the scrapyard front - be careful what you say, just ask if they have any older Pugs or something. When my 5 went walkies some put the phone down when I said it had been taken without my consent. Presumably lots still deal with dodgy cars and stolen scrap so don't put the wind up them.

Maybe you need a set of alloy wheels? 

[D Spares & Tyres]

My condolences.

 

This won't be at a breakers yard, it will more than likely be at a scrapyard. There is quite a difference.

 

V5 is not needed to weigh a car in. Remove the plates and it's just metal.

 

Sorry Paul, I have no good advice to give you, other than to try and have a good nose around all the local yards if possible. I have various bits you can take and weigh them in for an excuse to go.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Fucksticks....

Hope you get lucky, otherwise move on to pastures new and all that.

[HillmanImp]

This was my favourite vehicle at the AutoShite meet last year.

[richardmorris]

I’m very sorry to hear about the theft. Presumably they liked the look of the alloys and had the lot.

[bub2006]

Shit,not good. Quite a distinctive vehicle being a left hooker if stolen for scrap.

BREAKING NEWS !      I've found it. 

Reported it at the cop shop and was asked if there was any cctv, to which I replied that there could be.

Was basically told to check it and if "I" thought it was of use, to let them know.

I have, obviously, been labouring under the impression that that was a Police thing. 

Went and found who had access to the cctv and he allowed me to have a look.

11.47pm on Sunday night and there is a shadowy figure on the side of the van away from the cameras.

Some minutes later it's being rolled, coz Ftp, out of the Ind Est and into the street where, still moving slowly,

he turns right, downhill also, and disappears out of view.

Taking my new role as apprentice Plod very seriously I donned my Sherlock hat and looked at the evidence.

No sign of a Transit beavertail, or similar, lurking anywhere, although I only saw the street for a short distance so one could've been further along. Discounted this, my dear Watson. Sounded a bit too planned considering time of night and the time it had been sitting there. Conclusion ? A local scrote looking to rag it around till it crashed or ran out of go juice. 

Then burn it. Fortunately for me, and unfortunately for  local scrote, other scrotes available, it wasn't going to start.

Deducing from this, not really difficult, that there was a fair chance it was further downhill I therefore went, well, downhill.

This area is known as a bit scroteville and there were quite a few downhill streets he could've chosen.

Undeterred I sallied forth on my downhill mission and after several setbacks was rewarded with the site of shite. My shite.

At this point I thought, coz temporary plod, I would send in my report to head office and not disturb the crime scene.

Head office were somewhat unsupportive in that they wouldn't send a S.W.A.T. team, or any other team. In fact they would instead send nobody. The choices I was given were, we can send transport to take it to forensics, but it wouldn't be for a few days and you will have to pay for said transport and you may be able to pick up your chariot in about a week, or, you get it recovered and we sort of forget about it. Decisions decisions. No prizes for which one I went for.

You can't beat a bit of Cuntstabulary can you ?

Damage report. Fucked passenger door lock and the ignition barrel, AND the tube it fits in, ripped out.

Scrote ran off with a toolbox with spanners, sockets, screwdrivers, gaffer tape, coat hangers, bolts , nuts, cable ties, you know, essential stuff to keep old shite on the road. Sigh. It was a good collection and will take time to replace.

That tool box was fuckin heavy. About 25 kilos, so he wouldn't have wanted to carry it far. 

Not a particularly smart scrote because he left a brand new Hilka lithium ion jump pack.

Well, it could have been a lot worse. Now looking for a steering column, barrel and door lock  for a 305. Also a Bosch injection pump, which is nothing to do with the scrote, the little shit.

[Cavcraft]

Glad you got it back, hopefully the fucking moron will start advertising the tools for sale and you'll catch him/her. Worth taking boost pack to OB for finger printing?

[eddyramrod]

Great news!  Glad it's home again

[Angrydicky]

So pleased you have it back. Can FOAD help with the parts needed?

[Pillock]

Glad to hear it's back, mostly in one piece. Are the locks shared with something else?

[tul66]

That's great news. Aren't the boys in blue fuckin useless though. Fair enough, it's not a massive priority in the greater scheme of things but, thank fuck it was broken down otherwise plod would've had you quick enough for 34 in a 30!

[D Spares & Tyres]

Free locks and steering column here.

[Mrs6C]

BREAKING NEWS !      I've found it. 

Fantastic news and well done you!

 

Annoying that it has been damaged and really annoying that there is so little interest in the incident from the law, but you do have it back and that's the main thing.

[Felly Magic]

Good news about the van. Bad news about your tools. Fingers crossed FOAD can sort you out with spares.

[puddlethumper]

Free locks and steering column here.

I was going to give you a call, as you are a renowned purveyor of 305 tat. You wouldn't have a Bosch pump lying a bit idle would you as well ?

[puddlethumper]

It's the only time I've ever been happy having a broken vehicle.

[omegod]

These guys have a white 305 estate in currently, looked fucked but was complete     http://www.atlassalvage.co.uk/Site_3/Welcome.html
