*** Stolen in Milton keynes ***
 
I have just had a call from my mate - a fellow Scoob driver.....

He was on his way to work this morning at 4.30am minding his own business when a White Volvo Estate pulled out in front of him...

he didnt take a lot of notice until he saw a police car come speeding up behind him, the volvo then lit its back window up - POLICE STOP and they then boxed my mate in tightly !

2 Officers then asked my mate for his documents (which he didn't have on him) and asked for any I.D.

After going round the car with a fine tooth comb they told him that 3 Subaru Imprezas have been stolen overnight in MK ! !

A gang is going round MK looking for Scoobs and they think they are being stripped and sold for parts...

If I hear any update I will let you know...

Cheers Andy for the notice.

:eek2:

im only 5 mins from mk , too close for comfort

Ved 27 June 2008 01:27 PM

Are we talking about old MK or the MK around the ski centre? I'm looking at Coldecotte (sp) just next to that mahoosive lake they have there.

Richard.B 27 June 2008 01:40 PM

Is there any idea on what age they are? new age or classic? If new age probably done for order.

Either way it seems to organised for 3 to go in one night.

Will keep an ear out though, and I'm trying to remember an estate in MK where lots of stolen cars have ended up, but can't for the life of me.

More seriously, beyond a Disklock, I recommend having a Dipol/Mul-T-Lok gear lock fitted. They have very little chance of being able to drive your car away then: theyre much much more secure than Disklocks, which can be removed from most cars quite quickly...

The Lakes Estate or maybe the entirity of Bletchley? Maybe Oldbrook as an outside bet

dan/scooby 27 June 2008 03:04 PM

lakes mistake

Richard.B 27 June 2008 05:18 PM

No, its not lakes, it's around oldbrook. I'm thinking Netherfield

Sorry to take the cream away from you, but I am not referring to you, but the model of impreza, the GC8.

Noticed quite a few unmarked cars the past few days, I was followed for a while by an unmarked Mazda estate, thought it was some low lifes and then noticed the gear on the dash and the blue lights.

SC008Y_MAD 01 July 2008 12:07 PM

The meet Andy and I go to on a Sunday evening, there is a 02 Vectra silver/grey in marked, but you can see the blue light in the grille.
