    Thank you Little Ginge for posting this thread to try and HELP me get my car back.

    To those who are questioning why I want it back:
    It was my car and how dare someone take it!!!!!!

    The car is fully insured with every mod declared on it and it is insured Fully Comp!!!!!!! I would not be that stupid to drive a car like that with third party only insurance!!!!!! The immobiliser fitted to the car is the one the insurance company wanted!!!!!!! They asked for it so it was fitted!!!!!!!!!

    Makes me mad that people are questioning me when the police are not pointing the finger at me! Cars get stolen all the time but I have had the car nearly 8 years and it was my hobby! My daughter is 10 and this was her pride and joy too! That is why we wanted it back, nothing to do with "insurance or having no alarm and immobiliser"!

    Thankfully the insurance company for the car have been far more helpful!
    I sympathize with you and my comment was sarcastic as to you I apologize.


    having a motor stolen from you isn't a good feeling, I know ive had it done to me, they found my car on a mountain reduced to melted steel, ID'd it form its remaining alloy wheel at the salvage yead and 1 dent that was there prior to the theft in the rear quarter, and its vin number stamped by the driver seat in the chassis.


    your going to have to resign yourself to never seeing this car again, chances are its sat a few miles away in a quiet industrial estate.


    call auto lock smiths in the area to be on the look out for it, chances are that someone may be dull enough to try and get one to make a key for it.


    they well know its all over facebook, and waiting for the storm to pass in order to go retrieve/move it, I would be looking on out of the way industrial estates/and small scale scrap yards, in quite back lanes where garages are often not used/disused and tucked away in one.

    Reminds me of a way I was told of how to tell if someone is middle class or working class.

    If the TV is bigger than the book shelves you're working class.
    Well, it's difficult to compare. We don't have a TV in the library or the study.
    Q: What kind of discussions aren't allowed?
    A: It goes without saying that this site's about MoneySaving.

    Q: Why are some Board Guides sometimes unpleasant?
    A: We very much hope this isn't the case. But if it is, please make sure you report this, as you would any other forum user's posts, to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

    Do you really suggest she should be looking in those sort of places, would you be happy with your missus doing it?

    doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out that she can ask someone to go with her.

    Well obviously.

    If it found my car I would do it.


    My sister found her stolen car by looking in all manner of places all be it it was burned out on a mountain, she still went ahead and searched for it.


    Are you seriously suggesting because she is woman that women cant go out looking in industrial estates and scrap yards looking for their pride and joy? do you think that's sexist or no?

    I wouldn't advise anyone to go to these out of the way places unless they can handle themselves when it goes wrong. It's not like they'd get a warm welcome.

    so you are brandishing all out of they way business's with same brush that their criminals and gangsters as well as a woman has no business going looking for their car because they are a woman.


    Its not like the victim is going to go in guns blazing saying you may have my car that was stolen I want to check all your VINS of every 95 2001 model Subaru is she.


    if she spots her car she is more than likely going to retreat and call police!. after walking in and asking the price of a part and having a good look round to see if her car is there same with industrial estates she simply need to drive in and around them and not approach anyone!

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
