KruJoe Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Aye, our Will_Cabbage was good at this sort of thing.He found that bloody manky green 306 in Rochdale, though Dink (the chap with the Sherlock Holmes avatar) helped with the detective work. It's good news that plod are giving this some time. Fingers crossed for a happy ending. Lacquer Peel, eddyramrod, DeeJay and 1 other 4

KruJoe Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Yo, that was me, I've changed my name. Haha so it was!I'm quite good at remembering names (ex-teacher), but name changes throw me off!

Pillock Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Well.... Hopefully it's a light tap to a very soft car.Fingers crossed for you. HillmanImp 1
Stanky Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 /\ /\ /\ Likewise Moog, hopefully only minor damage and can be fixed easily after being returned to your posession.
KruJoe Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm working all day tomorrow, but if you need help shifting it, pm me. Either tomorrow night, or some time over the next few days I can bring the PW and trailer. Also I have a tow pole (my A-frame is still with John_K). I've sorted the winch on the trailer for owt that can't be driven. Just give me a shout.But hopefully you can drive it home yourself, and it can be easily saved. Fingers crossed for you, good buddy! eddyramrod, holbeck and strangeangel 3
The Moog Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 Cheers Joe. Njgleeds had also offered. You guys are awesome. Tickman, Tamworthbay and holbeck 3
trigger Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Yay! Glad it's been found, i just hope it hasn't been ragged and crashed to much, they normally have no clutch left in them and running on slicks.
beko1987 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Fuck the hairs on the back of my neck stood up when I read the thread title. I think I can speak for us all when I say keep us updated tomorrow...

twosmoke300 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Both awesome and awful at the same time . Really hope she lives on . Still get customers asking for the little white loan car now !

Lankytim Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I think it's a bit odd that the Feds gave you the name of the guy who'd left fingerprints in the Focus. Something similar happened to me years ago, the police said they didn't have time to investigate this type of crime properly and if I wanted to give the guy a good kicking they'd turn a blind eye.

bub2006 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Same thing happened to me a good few years back. He was well known and for some reason kept getting let off by the courts, prolific bike thief and my motor bike went the same way. Asked me if I knew the name etc went on his way. Hope little starlet isn't too badly damaged moog.
Supernaut Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I'm too scared to get my hopes up, just in case we're met with a photo of a totally caved-in Starlet. I hope that isn't the case, but I don't want to get too excited. Sorry for being a downer. beko1987 and Craig the Princess 2
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I hope that the car is swiftly recovered and is not too badly damaged. To deal with some (now academic) queries raised above, if you had been able to track the car down yourself, and could have obtained unimpeded access to the car, you could have driven it off, but you could not have lawfully done so if you would have had to damage someone else's property or, for example, break into a locked yard or garage in order to get to the car. Two wrongs don't make a right, and all that. You could of course have broken into the car yourself, and hot-wired it or whatever yourself. In practice, if you had found the car on the street with, say, a steering lock fitted to it by the scrote, you would be unlikely to be prosecuted if you hacked the steering lock off. The CPS applies a public interest test before prosecuting. It would be more difficult for Plod and the CPS to turn a blind eye if, for example, you broke into a locked garage to get the car back, but much would depend on the attitude of the local police. Self help and taking the law into your own hands can raise tricky issues in this and other contexts. They_all_do_that_sir and Springer 2
The Moog Posted March 31, 2017 Author Posted March 31, 2017 Insurance company on case. They will collect it from the police compound The lady said it will just be written off due to age of car etc. They will assess it first but it would just be a once over. Unlikely that i will ever see it again. Regards to insurance - it was crashed into another car. Do they claim against my insurance? As i assume the gentleman didn't have his own.
richardthestag Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 hope the little cunt hurt himself eddyramrod and Springer 2
Dave_Q Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 But if its only minor damage would you want it back? You should be able to buy the "scrap" back for £1.50. Is there any way you can get down to the police compound for a quick look? Angrydicky, strangeangel and binhoker668 3
adw1977 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 The insurance company writing it off may not mean much, it may only need a new bumper. eddyramrod, Angrydicky, 3VOM and 1 other 4

Try to buy the car back from the insurers if the car is repairable. Try not to let the car get carted off to one of those scrapper compounds. Dick Cheeseburger and egg 2
Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 You will not usually be held liable for damage or injury caused whilst the car is under the control of a thief. The owner of the other vehicle may be able to obtain compensation from the MIB, which has a fund to provide against some uninsured losses. The Moog, Springer, eddyramrod and 1 other 4
trigger Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 You should be able to see it again as you'll have to collect your belongings from it.
beko1987 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I'd try and get one last look/photo of it, if only just to bring closure to it in your own mind. I'm with Supernaught tbh. It could just have a dented wing, or it could be nearly the full trigger...
billyboy406v6 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 As far as I know car is yours , but make sure insurance are aware you want the salvage rights. Some firms scrap without informing you ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
