They droped him off in a renault megane and parked down the road.. Pushed it and towed it away

Did you get reg plates? Probably cloned or stolen but it's better than nothing.. I can't imagine how you're feeling but it's made me angry reading this..

Sadly got no regs.

There as been a 61plate pulled over and watching my mates zvh silver mk4 and mk2 fiesta

Oh man, I'm absolutely gutted for you. All that blood sweat and tears for these scumbos to come and destroy it. Unfortunately I don't see you getting it back it's probably truly broken now :(

There's hope yet.. but I'm not saying much as to give anything away. I'll leave that to him :)

Fingers crossed it amounts to something. I heard you were up until early hours trying to find her. Might seem daft but definitely get a basic gps tracker, may not be exceptional like the paid for services but they are great

He had an alarm in the post as well. In the CCTV you can see the theif shake the car to check for an alarm -_-

Turns out you can buy imobilisor bypass units for less than £20 too..

Nope! They wire straight into the transponder ring around the ignition and tells it the correct key is present

Your car is on fake plates? Do you know the full plate?

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Are the police on the lookout? Surely a brand new looking escort in white cannot hide?!?

Police dont care mate i hope i get it bk

That's appalling. Have you filed a formal complaint?

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Agreed I would!

Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Gutted for you mate, hope you get it back.

It took two days for police to come and see me when my van was stolen....I even went to police station and got told to wait for someone to come to the house.

I do sympathise with the police. They really do want to do a lot more, but because of the idiots in power cutting their budget so low, they just cant do it.

I look forward to them eventually getting their full budget back. If my car was stolen I would demand someone was there, especially having a tracker on it I could pinpoint where they are, but to be honest, would they be able to do it is a different question.
