He'll be back in about a year then to try again

Did they ever get their props back?

Not as far as I'm aware.

I'd just dug this up to say he'd been sent down (we got a letter) but Mr Morris is quicker

Why are Sprinters so appealing to car thieves?

A Transit race van was stolen from Premier Inn, Northampton at the weekend (not ours) 

Cameras show good view of van departing. They will steal anything.

Viewed my local Police Crime Monthly News board at the Post Office today.

Three Transit's all stolen overnight in the past month and one attempted theft. 

The last time I'd looked on their news board a few months back. Another 4 Transit's were reported stolen and a Renault Traffic.  

Trouble is with Transit's and alike is there always been a high demand / value in used spare parts.  

Plus with the lack of poilce etc it's just making it a boom time to be a theiving scum bag.

Expensive parts and easy to steal with a laptop as they don't have a proper key.  We've replaced it with a Citroen Relay as the only thing less appealing to thieving scum is an LDV.
