copied from Facebook. Apparently rattle canned white but still on the distinctive turbovecs. Hello folks, my Scimitar has gone missing, they also got the logbook and keys so they may try to sell it on. I work away so they had all week to take vehicles and other goods to the value of almost Β£50k. I think this car is familiar to some of you, it is quite distinct from a standard car so is easy to spot. It was spotted in Bradford by a friend before Christmas, it had been painted white but had the same reg.no. as in the photos. Unfortunately by the time he turned round to follow it, it had gone. If you spot it or are offered it for sale, I would be grateful if you would let me know or report it to Huddersfield police quoting crime number 13180400437.

That is a crying shame if someone's half arsed white paint over that it looks stunning, hope it comes back in one piece.

I really hope you get this car back without too much damage to it & that it is not stripped for parts.
It beggers belief that these scum do this sort of thing.
I wish you luck

Sorry to hear about this, beautiful looking car, (was). I know you're well known (and respected) on various forums with your Scimitar interest, I wonder if that's how you were targeted? I hope you get a result and these low-lives get their collars felt in the not too distant future!

Thanks MkX but itβs not mine. Mine are tucked up in a secure location Reminded me to contact the owner and see if thereβs any news though. There is story associated to this theft, in that the owner (an ex squaddie) took in another ex squaddie who was going through problems. Homeless veteran then bit off the hand that was feeding him and made like a shepherd

Hard to know what to say, first reaction would be brain him with a lump hammer but everyone knows ex-forces personnel, (particularly army), are disproportionately represented in the areas of homelessness / mental illness / substance abuse & not well supported by their country.

It's bad enough it's been stolen, but to be stolen by someone who the owner was trying to help out makes it all the worse. Hope it's not badly damaged but the reports of it being painted doesn't sound promising.
