I’m pleased that this theme is an ongoing thing on the blog but unfortunately basic details of a stolen vehicle is not enough to catch these thieving bastards.

We need to know such details as,
Upholstery colour & design.
Engine details: 6-cyl, 4-cyl any modifications etc.
Gearbox & axle types.
Suspension: standard, konis spax etc.
Plus any other details that may be relevant.

It’s obvious these lowlife are not going to sell a complete car because of the VIN, They are however going to resell the “secondhand” parts because as Capris become rarer the sale of parts will become more lucrative.

It’s important to pool knowledge and ideas because just one part discovered could lead to the arrest and jail for the light-fingered, devious, pilfering scum.

And, just to rock the boat: (I think I’ll leave to someone else to work out what I was going to write.)

Jesus this is literally 15 min's from where I live, time to tighten up on the security I think.

Sadly this recent theft also proves that it's not just 3 litres and 2.8s/Brookies their after.. the smaller engine Capri's also now seem to be on the menu.

Hope the lady gets her car back 🙏

From Facebook;
Ford Capri, reg TOL 510N, it was stolen yesterday (27/05) from a garage in Hodge Hill, had it since brand new in 1974 so has lots of sentimental value to us. Please share in the small hope that we may find it.

Found this on Facebook;
"We have been asked to circulate the reported theft of a MkI Capri 1600GT RYW 242L in Venetian Red.
It has a black vinyl interior and it would be evident that it previously had a black vinyl roof
The car was taken from a garage in Swanley, Kent around 17th January.
The car is fully assembled but not running and would have to have been towed away.
It had two Ford steel sports wheels on one side and would have had too have two more wheels fitted to take it unless lifted.
If seen or offered parts or panels for sale please can you contact Kent Police or message me directly.
This message will be posted onto other Capri groups".

Thieving scum still making life even worse for some people :twak:

Keep your security as tight as ever :cheers:

That's great news.
As few stolen cars appear to be recovered these days, it would be interesting to hear how this one was found so quickly. A tip off to the Police maybe, or was it fitted with a tracker?
