Default STOLEN - BLACK CLASSIC L208 WGH - NOW LOCATED

Morning all.
My Impreza has been nicked form outside my other half's flat in Plumstead, SE London.

Photos to follow, but id appreciate it if you could all keep an eye out for it - Black JDM 1993 classic with the re in the thread title.

It has black OZ wheels and a green WRX sticker in the centre of the boot. photos to follow when photobucket stops being a **** at work!
Fitted with a NUR spec R - so is LOUD!
other identifiable features include sti seats and strut brace, a brand new (as in done less then 50 miles!) set of BC racing coilovers on the back, sti lamp covers, a shonky looking dash mounted boost gauge in one of those stand alone pod things, a sparco steering wheen which has a momo horn push int he centre for some reason, zero sports resonator delete and cone filter

could say that.
already got a tracker apparently.. at least, there's a load of info and a certificate for installation of one in the history.

doubt i'll bother getting it activated though... at the end of the day, much as i love it, it's a tatty old 93 wrx... if you knwo what i mean. worth a grand and a half on a good day..

Be careful mate. Old Imprezas are often nicked as getaway cars, you don't want to storm into a barn to be confronted by a few armed guys getting ready for a raid! Get the Rozzers on it.

Sure it's not in a car pound?

I deal wih theft reports:
50% have been lifted for parking offences.
20% are stolen and we get them back.
20% are stolen and we don't get them back.
10% the owner forgot where theey parked it.

I'm not even joking.

pretty lonely if it is in a car pound.. no other vehicles in sight apparently. anyway.. i'm off to see what the score is.

hopefully there's no damage and i can just drive it away. will be storing it at my old man's place for a while methinks.

Whoever knicked it will be leaving it to wait and see if it has a tracker on it

I'd leave the car where it is and inform the rozzers..

Maybe they'll keep their eye on it and jump on whoever comes to collect it

As other have said don't touch it until you have informed the police - it could get complicated otherwise.

Ideally you want the police there with you !

I wouldn't even bother informing the police. Absolutely useless, just PM James and ask what they have done for him....

he told me, i suspect the travelling community is involved hence the police turning a blind eye as usual.

Dont bother with the old bill there not worth a **** unless you want them to take a statement and give you a crime reference number.Balaclava up and take a hammer,some 6" nails,gaffer tape,pliers and some heavy duty tie wraps,tie there feet together and tape there mouths up,nail there f****ng hands to the floor and then use the pliers on the ends of there toes and crush em till there nails splinter and there toes pop..JOB DONE.
