According to the guy that spotted it, the car was parked in a bus stop at 9:30am when he went to work & was still there when he came home again at 4:30pm.
The police were passed the info an hour later & recovered the car.

I will post what I like when I like in this day and age with all the internet forums etc who would race a stolen classic 20years ago may be but not now.What got my back up is posting it on ovalchat you would have to be some right dumb ass to buy it let alone race it something like this stands out realy well someone would soon pick up on it that it was stolen now do you get my point What if you didn't know the car was stolen? It happened not too long ago with a very rare Datsun which was sold to an unsuspecting racer & raced before it could be recovered! Practical Classics had a car stolen which ended up being raced & a Jag Mk10 was recovered partially prepped for racing! Banger racing like most/all other car related hobbies has dodgy characters & the minority will always set out to ruin it for the majority. I agree that not all should be tarred with the same brush but if you think for one minute that it doesn't still go on now then you're seriously naive! Why not post about it on Ovalbangerchat to spread the word? Surely it's better to post them on there so they are aware of cars that have been nicked & any characteristics/marks on the bodywork etc so they can keep an eye out IF they were to be offered it by some dodgy sh*tbag out to make a few quid? |

Going by one of the posts above it appears this car was taken and impounded by the police whilst the owner was away getting help/assistance when it had broken down... I do find this strange though as he must have been away for an awfully long time for the police to have come across it then checked it up on the National Computer then got a truck down to tow it away and then when the truck arrived get it all loaded up and checked over ready to be driven away, that's not a quick series of events by any stretch of the imagination... I am frankly a tad puzzled by all that! Also, I wonder if the owner had to pay the release fee as it was impounded by cheerful Mr.Plod...?!?!?! All in all though it is good to know that it is back where it belongs, with its owner...  I think that is all that needs to be said really... I once parked a land rover perfectly legally at 16.30hrs, it was removed by the police at 18.45 for being 'abandoned'. The police contacted the owner at 20.25. He did get release fee back from the recovery firm but no apology from plod. |
