Re: Stolen!

Not a good headline :( https://www.classiccarweekly.co.uk/buy-the-paper/2018/3/21/classic-car-weekly-21-march-2018 Organised gangs are mainly responsible, and apparently the South East is a hot spot as the car can be in a shipping container quickly after the theft. It was me that gave them the quot...

Re: *STOLEN* White Mk3 Capri B562CTW Oldbury, Midlands c31/0

The majority of these cars aren't being nicked by your average scally though! They are being nicked by professional gangs Put a Capri or Mk1 Escort on the street with a steering lock next to a standard Mondeo with no security, a joyrider may go for the Mondeo but a lot of thieves will go for the mor...

Tracker is the best option. Two mk1 Escorts have been recovered which have been fitted with a tracker, the most recent was a few months ago.

Trackers can be found & removed though if not hidden well enough

I'm trying to establish whether it has been parked there for it to be recovered or whether there is anything more sinister.

Bit far for me to secure it (By several hundred miles!). Am hoping someone recognises it or knows the owner

Re: *STOLEN* White Mk3 Capri B562CTW Oldbury, Midlands c31/0

Trouble with people these days is they don't bat an eyelid to an alarm going off. Be honest, how many have walked past a car or house with the alarm going off & done nothing about it? Unfortunately thieves are resorting to all sorts of tactics to steal cars, they'll not think twice about using a...

Re: Reward if my Capri is found(stolen Dec 2013)

Rich, what date was your Capri stolen & where was it stolen from, can't find any reference to the industrial estate you mention. Any details or CCTV images of the tow truck? Posted it on my stolenoldskoolford Facebook group & Twitter page, Oldskoolford, SOSE, Retrorides, Ovalbangerchat &...
