FredTransit Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Just to say, I would have done the same, though slightly different. I would have stayed with the car, and dialled 999. That way, when they turned up, I would have proof the theft itself was nothing to do with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100edave Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 The trouble is Fred, that is the response you would get! The poor sod who owns the car probably didnt want them to recover the car and charge him over £200! I couldn't believe it when Starsky & Hutch started on us, they ambushed us like the bloody Sweeney! They wanted Waynes number so they could ring him and check up on us They wanted to nick my Dad for saying "for f**ks sake, you watch too much of The Bill Mate", thats when we lost it All in all the chap who met us up was very helpful and polite and we was laughing about Pinky & Perky! Hopefully the owner is very happy with getting his back without to much damage, i know it put a smile on my face all day. He is very lucky, you dont here of many Classic cars comming back or being found Good luck with the car in the future and hopefully ill see you and the Vitesse at Bromley Cheers Dave & John.

stevepeanut Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 thats a nice end to a story, its a shame the police couldnt have turned up in an unmarked car, parked up and waitied till the thieving scum came back and nicked them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100edave Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 yeah, we moved it round the corner for safety so we could keep an eye on her. The police are so f'ing stupid round here, he didnt even understand what had happened! He said, did you touch it & how did you open it? My Dad said; Er, we used a key?! When us three were standing there after they went we thought 2 men in a silver Volvo were paying a little bit to much interest into the car The main thing is that the bloke has his pride and joy back without to much damage.

Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi peeps, long time no see. I thought it was only right for me to post my thanks for everyones help. Where do I start? Jo, I will give you a ring tomorrow (was in shower when you called). Thanks for phoning round this morning Wayne... was it you I called before I left? I was all over the place and didn't realise Thanks to you & Big Rod John & Dave... I'm sorry you had that grief from the Police. I appreciated you hanging around for a bit, then popping back to check up The mystery of the Silver Volvo has been cleared up. They were a couple of lads from a firm round the corner that my mate picks up from, they were popping out every now and then to keep an eye on the car. This is where the story now gets interesting... While I was sitting in my car just after John & Dave left, 3 geezers walked past the front of my car having a look. I thought "something isn't right here", and my fears were confirmed.... They had come back for the Triumph. 2 stood round the back of the car, while the other one opened the door and sort of half climed in. I was straight back on the blower to the law, and whilst speaking to the operator, they suddenly disappeared I noticed 2 other blokes walking about (one had a pushbike), and they too had just disappeared. After phoning the Police, I rang my mate back to say that the theives had been back and we HAD to move the car. Anyway, he rang that firm round the corner and the lads came round in a Focus &... the Silver Volvo lol. We opened the car and pushed it out of the space & to my horror, we were being watched. All 5 of those blokes were hiding in some bushes watching us... they were less that 15 foot away. They must've dived in there waiting for me to disappear... No chance! We hooked the Triumph up with a rope and just before we left, those 5 blokes just got up and mooched off. I was told that about 10 mins after my call to the Police, the Police helicopter was circling the car park... I hope they found them When we got the car back to the firm, I re-wired the ignition barrel and it fired into life. Unfortunately the engine is running rough, the gearbox is blown, the clutch has had it, the prop is buggered, the diff is well and truely knackered and the exhaust is bent So on behalf of 'me mate Dave' and myself, a massive thank you to all who played a part in the recovery of the Triumph. There are now a handfull of extremeley happy people due to your actions. We didn't think we would ever see it again! Thanks once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk2Jo Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Nice one Jimbob ... I rang you because I couldn't think who else to call as I couldn't get hold of Dean (Noodles) or Sarah (Escort Chick) and so you were the next one on the list Luckily I kept on trying Dean and eventually got hold of him on top of a hill in Cornwall Glad the car is back with the owner and hopefully it won't cost him too much to get it back in good order And hopefully he will increase the security now just in case the scum decide to come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrt_si Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Great to hear you got it back! I had something similar last year, I had my Saff Cossie stolen from my driveway, luckily (!!) I had blown the diff so it couldn't be driven. I received some info saying the car had been taken to a lock up about 500 yeards from my house. With the help of a couple of good mates we found the car (with ignition barrel in tatters etc...), rolled it out the broken down lock up...just as the Police pulled up as the tracker had picked it up. And do you think I had my wallet on me to prove who I was? The police were very good about once we explained to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Sounds like the scrotes were luckily not brave enough to come out of the bushes. In that case I would have sat in the car. Honestly. How did they do so much mechanical damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
