This is'nt exactly MKII related but I thought you all might be interested in something I witnessed last night.....
Focus RS Reg No: KN53RZJ was stolen from Mapperley, Nottingham in the early hours of Sunday 5th September.
The car was stolen by an ARMED gang, who broke into the owners house whilst he and his girlfriend were asleep, and forced them to hand over the keys at gunpoint!!!
I was staying at a mates house who lives directly opposite, and was woken (along with the rest of the street) at about 3.30am to the sound of their front door being kicked in by three masked blokes carrying pistols!! We called the Police straightaway, but by the time they arrived, the car was long gone.
The owners not a member of the RSOC, but I thought I should tell everyone on here what's gone off, so that if anyone sees the car or is offered it, we can do our bit to bring these w**kers to justice! Even in the bad old days of the late eighties / early nineties when Cossies were being nicked left right and centre, I don't remember anything as bad as this happening.
The strange thing is, that also parked in the street, were quite a few more expensive motors than the Focus, including a couple of BMW X5's, Audi A4 Cab, Porsche 996 and various Mercs. But the gang obviously wanted the RS, I guess it must have been stolen to order.
If anyone sees the car, DO NOT approach the driver, please get in contact with Nottingham Police.
Cheers
Neil.
