    Morning all,

    It's not a good morning, some little bastid stole my beloved Landrover,

    It's a Discovery 1, 1991 5-door, 200Tdi, in Firefox red,(darkish metalic).

    It has blue badge stickers on the drivers door glass and the rear tail gate. A roof aerial, spare tyre on rear door with a soft cover with H Owen logo.

    The drivers door was repainted at some time and has dried badly,'crazed' finished. It had some tools, tow ropes, 10 litres of UHT milk and mixed carp.
    Stolen from Woolwich, SE London at 11:30am and 1:30pm yesterday, thanks for your time and trouble.
