Very sad to read about a lovely car going like this!....I hope they catch the Scumbags.:mad:
worst nightmare,gutted for the owner just hope he gets her back .had to move two the other day, my wife asked why i was so paranoid and kept looking over my shoulder.:mad:
Not good news at all.........not just for the owner but for anyone with a half decent Classic.
Makes me feel very uncomfortable just reading about it.
Whatever the news, fingers crossed it good.

Even if there was a number plate the police are a waste of space..............the scumbags that did this deserve to be hunted down and the shite kicked out of them while being very careful not too leave any evidence as the plod would be straight onto you...
Doubt there is much chance now of getting the car back as night comes the scum will be stripping it and your local greedy bastards at the scrapyard will take parts no prob as they dont care one bit!!!

Just keep an eye out when coming home from events,cos these bastar*s follow you home to see where you keep it!.AND dont tell any one where you keep it OR that you have a nice car.A woman asked my where i kept my caravan,i told her a porky pie,but asked her why? Se told me they had had two caravans stolen,so MAYBE she was thinking they could pinch mine!
To make up for the fact that someone had taken theirs.Silence is GOLDEN!!!!!!
Hopefully get it back before anything bad
Right enough about the police when my Rs was stolen I got a parking ticket for it that was given out the day after it was stolen

really sorry to hear this makes me sick thinking about it ..lets all keep um peeled
am getting paranoid about mine now, some extra security is gonna be needed methinks :eek:
Really sensible comment there......:rolleyes:
Very sorry to hear about this for the owner. :(
dont even get me started with thieves, last year my factory got broken into 3 times in 6 months, the result was it cost me £25,000 in extra security.
the third time i got there at 1.30 in the morning to find him running out my office, the police caught him and what did he get. 80 hours community service and ordered to pay me £100 compensation, think i,ve had £45 so far.
if i had my way i would chop all their theiving hands off.

Was absolutely gutted to hear this yesterday, I know the car and owner very well. This is way too close to home for comfort. The car was seen at Gunthorpe and heading in my direction.
I agree with what Richie says. For them to end up dead in a ditch is probably too good for them. I would like to see them suffer horrendously first. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
The chances of this being returned in tact are very slim as these cars are usually stolen to order or broken up straight away.
The seats are very distinctive in this car.
Will keep my eyes peeled for anything "Appearing" on the market.....

The question i`d be asking is where are the theives getting there imformation as to the whereabouts of these cars???
If you have an AVO car, tell no-one where it is stored!!

WHO THESE days would question it, people look the other way. also loading up a car in broad daylight does not really look suspicious does it, people may have thought the owner was taking it somewhere. Hope they get caught the scumbags
really gutted for the owner, my worst nightmare.:mad:

kev, so we can all keep an eye out for parts, whats distinctive about the seats, and any other parts of the car which may differ from standard ?
anymore pics of under bonnet / interior ?

gutted for you mate.just a long shot but maybe the police can sort through the ANPR that they have dotted about the place.there must be some on that main road.i dont know how it works but if they can get the number off that lorry which looks visible they could get the number from the next plate that goes through.saying that the passat probably has false plates.:mad:

Without giving away too much information, does anyone know how it was pinched?

As everyone said in preveous posts i am gutted for you.It reminds me of the late 70s and 80s when you could,nt leave one of these cars wihout fear of it been stolen. i think what we should all agree to do in the future is when we see an escort on the highway being towed we should try and get a pic of the reg no of the towing vehicle. Well done to the guy who took the pic but i bet he is saying to himself. IF ONLY i had a suspicous mind
It makes me sick to think this is happening too often now!
As a protective measure if i see any RS on a trailer i will take a photo of it if possible. Just in case.
I hope she is found. We need to keep eyes and ears peeled.
It may disappear and then parts turn up later.
Scum of the earth. Need limbs ripping off.

i know its on the british rally forum but might be worth gettin hold of local motor club and rally prep people incase they get offered the bits

I'm actually sitting here terified, because it scares me that my project is sitting all alone in a garage miles away from where I live, and I dont always get the chance to check up on it :(
Why oh why the world is full of scumbags...
good luck in getting it back... and finding the scumbags
Not sure if it will help just put it up on Facebook the more people know the more chance he might get it back
The thieves will probably be well aware of the coverage on this stolen car and it could well be in storage until the heat dies down. Once that happens, it may well be moved at night especially now the darker nights are here, to a place where it can be stripped (unless it hasn't been already :( )
So, in a week, 2 weeks, or even more, when they feel comfortable to move it, they will. SO BE VIGILANT and IF SEEN DIAL 999 but it is recommended not to get involved, but to follow at a safe distance if possible.
A media press release had the last one stolen in North Wales recovered within a few days........hopefully this has been done and fingers crossed for the same success.
Not sure if it will help just put it up on Facebook the more people know the more chance he might get it back
I've done the same and over 100 of my friends on there have shared the link/picture hopefully it will jog someones memory or get others to keep their eyes open.
Here's hoping you get to see it again soon in one piece.

Hi Andy,
There will be a few of us on here feeling just the same as you when a car goes missing like this, and with a few changes the chances of our beloved cars going missing could hopefully be reduced.
Maybe this will help. First make sure your car is insured. Second go back to your garage then assume you are a thief and try to think how you could pinch your own car. Think of anything to slow you down or prevent you from getting in or stop you from removing the car, then make the changes accordingly. If you can improve the security you may start to feel a little easier about it. Think about things like how you can immobilise your car, scare them away or at least slow them down. Security should really be an on going though....always think of how you can improve it.

When my RS is eventually on the road I fully intend using it daily :eek: My garage is fullly secure - alarm CCTV etc but the danger is leaving it parked up so I was thinking of having a Tracker fitted. Can anyone share any experience of these? Pros? Cons? I understand if chaps don't want to go into detail about their own cars but don't want to spend out if they are no good. Or has this discussion already been had? :confused:
Just been discussing this over on the AVO Club BB (as a result of this particular car theft) and seems a few on there have had them fitted, I was assured it is possible to hide one in a MK1 Escort.
Seems it's possible to have a one off payment as well.
Looking at their website the tracker uses VHF signals so can be found in locked garages etc.

I flippin hate this, I`m totally paranoid now. I really feel for you mate, especially after seeing the pic of the car on the trailer.
Surely the cameras on that stretch of road after the junction should pick up the Passat further down the road ??
I`m sure the Police are`nt too interested in financing a search of all the security camera footage from further down the road. Maybe it could be `financed` via a fund or collection from all the sites we all use : turbosport/here/rsoc/avo/osf/sose I`d be happy to chip in to pay someone to search through hours of footage. Is it worth doing a general letter which could be downloaded and `adapted` per member and sent to whichever Police it is, I`m sure after 2-300 letters asking for it to be looked into, they might do ??? Or at least spend some time searching through footage.
I don`t know that neck of the woods, but it looks like a reasonably busy road/junction, there has to be cameras further down.
Once again, real bad news. Hope it`s tracked down :mad:
