Default My subaru- stolen

Help needed- on monday november 7th my BLACK PHASE 1 Subaru was taken from my drive along with every other car on the drive at the time. Three of our cars have been found but my Subaru is still missing. I would apreciate it if people could keep an eye open for it. It is likley to be round the Milton Keynes area. Also if the car is seen for sale, do not buy it! Its very easy to spot. Its black, gold 18inch wolf race urban alloys, 4 inch tail pipe comming out of rear at an angle, personalised plate in italic font. The car may be stripped for spares so keep a look out on places such as ebay. Particuly the wheels, they are quite a rare wheel in the gold finish. Your help on this would be excellent. The car was my pride and joy, i had it for three months only and had to get a three year loan to get it. The insurance pay out will be nominal so my only hope is to find it.
Thanks

Sorry to hear of your theft.

Will keep a look out on the roads up and down the country as I do 1000+ miles a week.

Hope you get it back in one piece.

Sorry to hear your news mate......

I live close to Milton Keynes and I work there too...

Will keep my eyes open for you...

Seems like a few in MK are disappearing, the other night a WR1 was stolen and found with the tracker later in MK..

Cheers mate, that'd be great. Any other suggestions on what else i could do to get my car back i.e what web sites i could post on, would be much apreciated. Most subaru drivers tend to stick together so my feeling is, if i make it well known, it will become very difficult for the car to be sold or driven around in this country

Place an ad asking for spares in your local Free Trader/Ad Traders. Be a sneaky ******, just like them. Then cut there fecking fingers off or get the fuzz in (perhaps not).

6 cars in one night, that's unbelievable. What's more unbelievable is that no-one saw/heard them. There must've been a team of scumbags. And how did they know all the cars would be there and nickable. Crazy!!

Keep an eye on eBay too. Many parts are turning up on there.

yeah i dont know how we never heard them, it was very well organised. They'd obviously been watching our daily routine and knew exactly when to hit. They have been seen filling up my dads honda in a local fuel station and not paying. The police have the video footage and have a gang lined up so fingers crossed ay

Quite a common method nowadays.

Would be an idea to have a burglar alarm fitted for the future.

Hope you recover all the cars ok.

I hope they dont attach a STOLEN RECOVERED ALERT TO HPI on the WR1
There is a guy on www.boXa.net thats had his Merc ML stolen 2 years ago and got it back within a day or two with no damage (found using tracker)

Went to PX it and its registered as a stolen recovered car, they only pay out was on on the locks .... he now wishes it was stolen and never found as he was offered £5k for it in PX when its real value is over £15k Check out BOXA for a run down on it
