FredTransit Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 2759.l1259 Nothing to do with me, but I was interested in it. Stolen after being advertised on ebay. Sadly I don't think this will be seen again...... THIS VEHICLE WAS STOLEN ON THE 19th OCTOBER FROM WILLENHALL WEST MIDLANDS>>>>> A WHITE FLATBED TRUCK WITH RED WRITING AND A HIAB WAS USED IN THE THEFT>>>>>>
MM77 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Um, how do you disguise a fire engine after stealing it???
FredTransit Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 Take the body off and put a 7 ton spec on it....... or cut it up and weigh it in.
Gibson Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Harsh i know... and lets hope he finds it! but imagine the fun you could have with a stolen fire engine! Its got some comedy factor!
MM77 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Take the body off and put a 7 ton spec on it....... or cut it up and weigh it in. Ok true. What a shame
FredTransit Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 The A series has a lot in common with the Mk1 and Mk2 transit (depending on age) so it would be tragically easy to get into and start.
FredTransit Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Posted October 22, 2009 UPDATE! Had a message from the seller and he tells me he suspects it's on it's way to Tilbury to be exported. Anybody in the area, keep an eye out!
caprinerd Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 how can you chore one of those and hide it long enough to export sticks out a bit from the norm dont it
FredTransit Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 It's not a lot taller than a Mk2 transit chassis cab, take off the lights and ladders, it would fir in a shipping container. It's common to cut vehicles in half for expert (to avoid vehicle import duty, it become scrap metal) so it could even be put in two containers, and welded up at the other end. Old service vehicles have a market abroad, one of our ambies was bidded up by some git in the Czec republic. Also when it was sat out front somebody asked to buy it (when we said no it mysteriously get it's windscreen smashed). There are many third world and East Europe countries would be glad of the A Series and me Mk2 transit ambies.
FredTransit Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Posted November 22, 2009 The A Series was relisted, to keep up interest, then this THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP>>> AND THANKS TO EBAY THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN FOUND IN A BACKSTREET SCRAPYARD>>>>> THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE WILL BY NOW KNOW THAT I KNOW WHO THE SPINELESS BASTARD IS>>>>>> KARMA IS DOING ITS JOB AND IS DRIVING ITS WAY TO YOUR SCUMMY LITTLE STY>>>>>> TIME TO CATCH UP ON SOME SLEEP BECAUSE EVERY GNATS FART YOU HEAR YOU WILL BE TWITCHING YOUR CURTAINS AND I PROMISE YOU THIS......
