My car has just vanished

  • right people are saying why did i not call the police first.... Well everyone knows that cars get towed or taken away everyday in all walks of life... My first port of call was to call the local council pound; as to what I did. They informed me they do not have it. 'DVLA may have taken it if it did not have any tax'.

    I proceeded to log onto dvla website on my phone to see if it in fact had tax... The tax was expired, so again I thought ahh DVLA have taken it.

    I called DVLA and they said they dont have it... nothing has come across to them saying that they have it at all.

    They then told me to call their partner REDCORN. I call redcorn and they told me that they dont have it/they dont cover this area.

    So as you can imagine AT THIS TIME, I am now thinking that it has been stolen...

    With thought comes logic.
  • flat, open, 24 hour car park which you can go in and out of.
  • Having read this post I feel I need to get a list of all the possible numbers I will need to call to find out if they have my Car?

    Seriously who has their local pound number?

    I smell Bull Excrement here!

    If its got no Tax on it they clamp it!
  • I parked my car on tuesday. I went there on wednesday. I called up my insurance company probably 4 hours after I saw it wasnt there on wednesday..... So I am not too sure where so many days have gone by.

    if you park your car in a particular area, and it is not there, wouldnt you think that the local council's car pound has it....? is that too far of a reach?

    I think most people's car would be taxed, insured, legally parked and either paid for or finance up to date. Therefore the logical conclusion would be its stolen.
