Default Request for help repossessing my car

Many of you will have seen this thread the last few days:
https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...er-a-year.html

I'm having a quick drive round to collect a few tools and try to get a towbar then off to see if i can find my car. Will be taking proof that the car is mine, if anyone can help with anything from a trailer to just a phone number for a local tow truck or even hotwire it for me so i can get it home give me a text please,

good luck mate...have some people with you in case they get gobbie as you never know how they will re-act.and also speak to your local plod and say what your going to do as the call will be logged.if you were nearer i would come with you in uniform which normally stops people from gobbing off.

Cheers guys, will update later. No luck getting a towbar or trailer so gonna see if there's anyone there or anyway to get access to the keys.

Car's taxed, insured & mot'd so if it's driveable then all's well, failing that it's a trip to the nearest halfords for a towbar or calling a tow truck... if it's still there...

are you an AA or like member? maybe they will recover it. If you were closer i would gladly fire up the transporter to recover it for you.

Hi mate, good luck with getting it back.

Ive just bought a towbar for my 05 STI, but havent fitted it yet as i need some bolts for it. If somebody else wants to fit it to there scoob and tow you out your welcome to borrow it.

I would help myself but not allowed to tow anything that big unfortunately

Good luck.

As zohan say, or get a private recovery. Should get one for around 50 quid. Don't tow it too far because you will damage your transmission.

Updates soon as would be good. This thread could be used for future reference as it seems only a matter of time before someone else gets scammed for being trusting
