Red 1991 Saab 900 - FOUND!

[thooms]

Had hoped never to have to write this post but here we are.

My red 900 turbo has been stolen by some waste of skin from in-the-sticks Gloucestershire.

Registration is J129HFR.

It's red, Aero bodykit, Super Aero wheels, twin exit exhaust. Resprayed bay and running T5.5 engine management. Any info on here or to 07964 333771 much appreciated





Apparently, a few cars have been getting stolen in the area recently - police are checking Brockworth.

This. Sucks. Balls.

Fingers crossed, but not holding out much hope

Near Stroud matey

This is horrible news, I'm sorry to hear this!!!

When was the car stolen? If you know what time(ish) it may help pinpoint local CCTV etc...

I do hope this gets found as you left it. Please keep us posted...

That was quick, the law found it! About 10 miles away - wiring trashed, and interior doused in petrol. Bah.

They didn't succeed in setting fire to it though. YES! It's with a recovery firm at the mo - police are making enquiries.

[thooms]

I'm sure it'll be back!

It has had 15 previous owners - 1 clown 'borrowing' it for 1 night surely can't be enough to kill it

Hi, don't let this drag on too long, you could be in danger of losing this to the recovery firm in storage fees. Try and get this delivered back to you.

Thanks Colin, I hadn't thought of that! I'll try to hurry things up a bit.

Where did they find it? Only interested as I live in Gloucester. Luckily, sounds like they were disturbed before torching it.

[jordanisace]

as what matey above says, get it back as soon as you can, if its in a recovery yard youl get stung for storage fees, despite it not being your fault

[thooms]

They found it at Standish hospital - it lives a few miles East of Stroud (better not be too specific, in the cirumstances). Police advised there has been a similar incident (though he wasn't being very specific) last week - Gloucestershire folk should be careful!

From the build thread...

Not sure whether this is in good taste but hey ho
Glad it is still alive

...harsh, but probably fair.

[saabturbo]

Really glad they found it. Shame the theiving curse word wrecked it.

Glad they found it... Standish hospital is a little bit toooo close to home, think I'll be removing a few critical electrical bits from the Marina tonight just in case.

Get it to a place of safety. Recovery firm will be filleting your wallet for recovery andbig cash per day storage fees.

[thooms]

Going to head over there tomorrow and try to get it sorted. Not sure where to put it, though - taking it back to where it got stolen seems a bit stupid?

[brachunky]

Doubt the scumbags would try again knowing they trashed it. Really good news its been recovered!

Pull the DI,one of the guys I know has a DI multi plug on each end of the wiring and takes that part with him.

[thooms]

I normally do if I'm leaving it somewhere dodgy. Or take the ECU out - but I don't bother when it's at home

[grifterkid]

I hope you manage to get this back to your pad without getting to much agro from the storage people...! Please do let us know how you get on...

[thooms]

So, an update...

I tried to have a look at it earlier today - turns out the recovery firm is closed at the weekends. Genius - at least they keep the storage fee rolling in!

I'm going to take Monday off work and get it sorted out - I'll share what I find!

In the mean time, there's a bit more info about the car here.

Enjoy your respective weekends!
