Thumbs up GOT THE SCUM!

10 days after they nicked my car the Asians were arrested and bailed. One of them admitted stealing it with others. The investigation is ongoing. No sign of my car as yet but the last i new they were having problems with the ecu.

They are in the Metropolitan police area in London. They put up an advert on the site i advertised my car for sale and the same site they said they saw my car for sale. They used the same names in the advert that they gave me but they swapped their names round to advoid getting caught.


For obvious reasons i cannot say anymore.

One of the group owns a silver scoob.....walls have ears.

Thanks for all your messages of support and especially a MAHOOSIVE thankyou to someone from here that helped nail the scum bags that did this to me.

And for all those that wished me bad..........I really hope nothing untoward happens to you or your cars..............But hey, **** happens.

Me too!! They set them up and nearly got led to my car last week! They were found 3 days after my car was stolen but that wasnt down to the police.

Its been a very up and down 10 days emotionally but at least we have a confession.

I cant see some skinny little Asian lad is going to pay me £8000 back for my car when he gets fined £50 but its better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Just wait until i am able to post up what 'really' happened, Keystone cops springs to mind! After what they did, you woud think twice at reporting your car stolen to the police.

paperwork and little return on a job seems to be how cases are decided these days.

To get the police involvement i have had to gift wrap everything and give it to them on a plate, literally. Its been one of the most draining, frustrating times of my life. Loads of emotions. Its been tough.

Its not really brilliant news to be honest, you still have no car and the scum will walk free as per usual.

Brilliant news would be if this country had a backbone and the scum were sentenced to manual labour until they built up a pot of money to compensate you for your loses. Naturally their board and keep would be taken out of this pot also.

Your right, its a crappy ending. I could have had my engine back a week ago, it was within touching distance but the police............*bites tongue*

But, i have to be grateful for something or i wll go mad.

I remember when my first Clio Cup was stolen I felt like the police were more than useless. I even sent them details of where the wheels ended up - on Ebay - and they did nothing. It even got offered to an informant and they still did nothing!

Good news that the crims are caught, you need to get your car back though!

If they get convicted I am pretty sure you can then pursue a civil recovery.

Think Sara needs it as it wasn't insured.

Is there a body of people like the MIB that help people recover compensation?

Really pleased to hear they have been collared SS. I hope you will eventually get your car back without any significant damage. I know thats a bit much to hope for of course.

I also hope that they get it in the neck instead of a community work sentence which they won't turn up for and nothing done about it as usual. Must not upset them of course, it would not be fair would it!
