Default Anyone fancy a few grand if you can help this chap.

Mitsi Evo 5 stolen in Wales, they have posted on eBay asking for some help to recover the car. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MITSUBISHI-LAN...item27b22cf14b just thought this might help someone earn some reddies if they have seen it

I thought short of air lifting or dragging a vehicle onto a flatbed that it is fairly difficult to TWOC a vehicle these days with the Cat 1s etc. Fortunatly I have never had one stolen, however many attempts have been made (W&nkers).

Maybe thats why it took the thieving ba**ards 40 minutes before they drove off in it. They obviously knew a way of bypassing the security on the car.
Ive put this in the Wales forumn too so you never know someone may spot it, help the garage, catch the thieves and get a nice reward aswell to boot Gareth

Because it was a fresh import it probably didn't have any security on it yet because Japan don't have a car crime problem like the UK has.

do not have anywhere near the same levels of crime and they have quite severe punsiments (in terms of time served in basic prisons) and crime is still considered dishonourable and shame broought of the family name.

UK could learn a lot from this but will not due to Human Rights act.

i hope all the thieving w@nkers who steal and vandalise other peoples hard earned pride and joy meet a very untimely and painful end as the bloody law never gives out respectable punishments.

Are you sure you're able to? Or are you going to get the customer to do that for you???
