Yeomans22 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 anyone ever thourght of setting up a bait car type thing, get an old mk2 with hardley any petrol in it and park it somewhere, keep an eye out on it, 2 in the same place in 2days, might be something to think about. could always lead to finding the other cars.

bortaf Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 again cheers for the replies, as for security, a bloody great big chain with a heavy duty padlock, obviously no match for whatever they used to chew through it Tooled up sounds like the knew what they wanted that pluss the other going missing equalls escort only jobs in my eyes and planned as well so i'm sure they are well hidden somewhere not just dumped in an ally (sorry to sound like a downer mate). I hope they find the theiving scum and chop their frikken fingers off cos thats what i'd do
FredTransit Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 2 in a week ill keep a look out for it m8 gutted for ya mate, remember seeing ya l2b, hope you find whoever did it I hope these two facts are not connected (car stolen being on L2B) anyone ever thourght of setting up a bait car type thing, get an old mk2 with hardley any petrol in it and park it somewhere, keep an eye out on it, 2 in the same place in 2days, might be something to think about. could always lead to finding the other cars. Whilst that's a good idea 1, who is going to put thier car up for it 2, it's just now been put out on the public internet I am gutted for you mate, hope you get it back. I thought all this had gone quiet.
4 door escort Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Posted August 9, 2008 still no news yet, not that i thought i would hear any thing but i do think it will be stripped for spares, it does have some distinguishing marks that i would spot a mile off but the likely hood of it staying in one piece is pretty remote just hope that the insurance company play ball and settle up quickly so i can get another escort oh yeah, and it still had the London to Brighton Plaque on the grill as well, mother f*ckers have really hurt me this time,
Boreham Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 I'd hoped it was good news when I SEEN YOUR REPLY TO THE THREAD.. a Good leathering them guys need with 1 of these in each hand.. guted for ye Dude.....
flyingbanana Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 gutted for you!....cant trust no one these days...even today when i broke down had some random person go right around the block to come back and park where i was to start talking about the car etc.....and even they got me suspicious from certain things they were asking...... really hope you get it back m8
evil knievel Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 i feel for you mate i remember back when i was a kid, "someone" (we know exactly who it was) stole my dads mk2 transit. it was recovered but we last all of the tools, apart from one pair of needle nose vice grips. it was sign-written by hand, and sparked my love for OSF's!!! one day i will have a transit or an escort van....... anyways, best of luck finding the car.....
gpcmatric Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR CAR M8 IM LOCAL TOO! IT GETS YOU PARANOID AS THESE SEEM TO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.WHAT R THE POLICE DOING ??? ANY NEWS ATALL UPDATE?
4 door escort Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Posted September 3, 2008 well it's been nearly a month now and nothings turned up, did have the police phone and say the case has been re-opened last saturday as the car was seen (supposidly) last tuesday 26th at elmers end by a member of the public who had seen one of my posters, it took the police until the 30th to tell me, and admit that they didn't even know what the car looked like? What the F*CK????? i asked them if it had been re-opened, when was it closed, they told me it would have been the sunday after i reported it stolen because it wasn't a solveable crime....so after just two days that was it, case closed i checked out this lead in elmers end but there was nothing there that looked like my car, never the less, the car could have been there but in the 4 days it took the police to respond it disappeared moral of the story....if you have a problem, then sort it out yourself cos the police only want solveable crimes, think i might go on a killing spree tonight then!
vibrating_Cake Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 as asked before, did the car have an alarm/immobaliser/ stoplock?? sorry itll be a touchy subject but itll be nice to know what systems they can get past... really does seem like a very organised ring! personally i have an immobaliser and stoplock on EVERYWHERE i go, its not worth the risk, if someone knows how to hotwire one osf they can hotwire any within minutes.... and then thats it, its gone!
samurai Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 The best mod ever on such cool cars are a alarm/immobaliser and more sensors the better Sorry to hear what happend we all will keep an eye out for it.
