Madness!!. makes you question what it has been stolen for as it looks as even the rear bulkhead has been modified so not that easy to re-do and cover up all the mods. its L2B this weekend aswell so someone could have spotted it unless its gone somewhere local. Hope he gets it back and also finds out who are thieving all these classics.

GOOD NEWS! It has been found and recovered!
The owner: NEWS!
IT HAS BEEN FOUND AND RETURNED!
It was entirely down to the great work by everyone sharing this thread and posting on Facebook and twitter!
The police had an anonymous call informing them that someone had spotted a mini which they had heard had been stolen. The most frustrating thing was that it was found only about half a mile away, in a private road stuffed in behind a tree! It was about the limit of how far it could have been pushed. Not fully inspected it yet but it looks almost perfectly intact except the locks/barrels and the bonnet hooks ripped off. Waiting for SOCO to check it over for prints. Assumption is opportunistic criminals who took it somewhere out of sight and then were unable to work out how to start it so abandoned it.
The added bonus is the £200 tool kit is still in the car!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! It is well and truly secured now and I will be buying wheel clamps, crook locks, and a tracker tomorrow!
Thank you again. Can anyone who posted on other forums please update this with the great news!

Awesome news! its kind of a relief that it was just common criminals that probably just wanted a joyride.
