Have you recently had any comunication with - supercarsbaby@hotmail.com
Apologies to the guy in question, but I did, and he failed to turn up with no explanation. It was then that I became suspicious.
He may be innocent, but if you have communicated with him recently, there may be an answer lying there - ok?

Selling a set of wheels - he promised to turn up tp buy them, then just didn't appear after I had given him my address, phone number and ofcourse he had my email address. TOTALLY BAD FORM IF YOU ASK ME.

I've heard of wagons being involved in ram raids b4 now.Extra capacity in the back!!

Car has Thatcham Cat 1, but no tracker.

Hope they find a use for my sons car seat and toy cars in the back.Bast***s!

Did they take the keys?

I'd get another motor and have a look down Gorton area, thats where 3 I know of, have been found in the last few weeks.

The amount of scoobies getting taken round manchester atm is stupid, the police better get on the ball. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

IMO there is no such thing as paranoia in Manchester. Never give out your address, arranging to meet the person somewhere busy would be a better idea in future.

cryptwalk,

Have they all been found in the same place in Gorton?
Do you know whereabouts?

There could be something in that, as I went through there yesterday!

Friend of mine had his nicked from Manc area. Turned up, undamaged, in Rusholme having been sat there a couple of weeks!!!

Hope you get a result mate.

Mines having a 'Blackjax' type immobiliser fitted in addition to existing alarm & tracker. For £150 its worth the peace of mind?

Don't know if this is any help.
But did see a blue wagon parked on Wheeldon Street which is off Caythorpe St 4 ish
Seemed very odd as most of the houses were boarded up.
Didn't notice any other features eg: reg/ roof rails.

Silver-sub,

Where is Caythorpe St.? Is that Gorton area?

Now narrowed the time down to between 7.30 and 8.30am this morning.

I can't believe this was taken from right under my nose, as I was up and about, but never heard a thing.

Thanks for your replies, chaps.

Just out of interest, what make of security system was fitted to your scooby mate? I have a sigma M30 on mine with 2 points of cut off, not sure if other makes are easier to bypass but i guess if your scoob gets nicked by an ex installer then nothing is safe, sorry to hear she's gone.
