Thumbs up Thankyou everyone that has helped....

My car is no longer being driven on the road and some of it seems to be in a salvage yard in Lincs.(i have the details) But thanks to more than one member from SN the police have arrested one of the Asians who stole it...he also admitted stealing my car with other people.

There seems little chance of recovering any part of the car but the engine was being put into another car in London so maybe its a matter of time till the police catch up with it.

If anyone is able to help with the breakers yard please pm me. I can not say why i think my car is there at this stage.
There is no suggestion that the salvage yard is involved in anything dodgy but googling reveals some comments about the place that do it no favours.....

I am not asking anyone to do anything illegal or put themself in danger but if anyone just happens to be in this particular salvage place i just need someone to keep an eye out.

Thanks again for the help so far and without Scoobynet the scum that did this would have got away with it for sure.

Good news of sorts Sara, you just need to get the car back so you can realise some of the money you've got tied up in it.

It's great that there are some good Snetters out there who will help

By the time they go to court they will have no assets left so i will have nothing.

What amazes me is the fact that they are still allowed to drive their own car yet they took mine from me ad admitted it! There should be a law that takes it off them.

Eye for an eye

I thought there was, the Proceeds of Crime Act. Any legal eagles care to comment on why that doesn't apply here?

I think that comes into play when they go to court. By then though, they will be penniless of course.

I am sorry that it has come to that now SS, must be heartbreaking to lose the car like that.

I hope you get something back anyway and that the thieves get heavily hammered for it.

Good to hear they caught the *******, though sad that you may end up with virtually nothing.

Good to see you are moving on, not much else you can do.

Best of luck with the next one - sure I saw a Zonda somewhere for £2k

They want ******** with a cactus! No respect for other people's property. Scant consolation but at least one of them has been caught.

Invest some of your 2000 quid in a cow, they are relatively cheap these days.

At the dead of night, lead cow down the approach road and deposit said cow directly in front of the main gates of the salvage yard.

Shoot it.

HTH,

Is the salvage yard adjacent to any other businesses? Why not try signing up the proprietor to as many filthy h0mo/b0ndage\ s|\|uff magazines you can find, and change his address by one so his neighbours receives them.

"Hey! Your copy of "Choirboy ***** Monthly" has turned up!"

Call the mortuary and report the proprietor dead. If you really want to make a point tell them he's been crushed by a highly suspicious subaru shell....

Get a copy of the proprietors business card. Go to one of those business card vending machines and knock up as realistic a copy as you can. Hopefully, it has his home phone number on it. Go to your local red-light district and pass them out to the girls (or guys) saying "Call me some time."

This is most effective if he has a family. If he is single, he may want to thank you.
