Hi All,

Just seen this.... Bloody worrying and the Poor buggers who have lost a car in the process!!! Make sure you know the History of who you leave your car with I recon and carry out regular inspections... Thankfully I've not heard of this in the Capri circles.

Be vigilant, all the best,

That same situation happened at a Capri conversion specialist a few years ago.
