STOLEN - 1982 Mk1 Golf BLU 412Y *FOUND!!!*

[jabbo]

Right, continuing the curse word path my life seems to be on at the moment, I woke up this morning to go to work to find my Golf missing!

Details;
1982 Mk1 Golf GL in black and red
1500 auto model
Full brown interior
Porsche steering wheel
Coilovers

Stolen from Rainham in Kent. Being realistic the car is pretty standoutish, and a prety rare model, so I'd imagine it'll be broken for parts instead of being sold on whole.

Here's pics of how it looked;













The only saving grace I have is the fact I'd removed the alloys literally yesterday afternoon, so the car is on standard steels.

Any info, or if you see any parts for sale that resemble those on the car I'd be really grateful if you let me know.

Thanks
Scott

[Lawsy]

[skinnylew]

[grizz]

Just seen this .

That absolutely sucks, and I am really sorry it happened to you mate, bad enough for anyone, but you do not need more carp in your life.

I sent you a Text as well with a question.

Will also keep my eyes open in my travels.

Hey all, thanks for the replies.

Quick update - Me and a mate were coming back from climbing today, drove down a road a few streets away from mine and saw my golf sitting there in the road!!! All unlocked, windows open, engine still warm. Called the police who said they'd come out, recover it for forensics but I'd have to pay, or I could just drive it back myself. So ended up hotwiring it and taking it home.

They've knackered the dash to steal the radio (which cost me £9), and they've stolen my £2.99 sunglasses but that's it. There was about £600 worth of tools in the boot which they left, and the rest of the car appears undamaged.

Back at mine now, wheels removed, battery out etc. Good luck stealing it this time idiots!

Happy days

woah! that's like the fairytale ending people never get!

If I was a burly bloke I'd have waited for them to come back to it and smashed some heads together. But I'm not, so I wouldnt.


Glad you've got her back!

[datman]

Blimey, nice one. Darn cops tho, we already pay them to fight crime, why to we have to pay twice?

[marksparks999]

glad you got it back...

[akku]

they probably weren't going to come back. Unless they were going to torch it. Sounds like "kids" to me, based on their FAIL theft of contents.

[Thrasher]

WAHEY !!! I deliberately didn't post earlier on in this, as I was seriously angry on your behalf and didn't want to post anything silly.

But this is fantastic news man !!

Pics of the damage and stuff ?? So we can see what 'tards these people are/were !?? :-)

Re the tools, I went out and brought the " basics " I needed for my mk1 as cheaply as poss ( car boots, halfords discount ) that way if they get had away then its no great loss - and I still have what I need to mend it.

Anyway, superb news, well rescued.

[theheap]

I would have hung around for an hour or so.

But the main thing is that it's BACK

[skinnylew]

[Seth]

[HARDCORE]

Wow, that really is great news ;D sounds like things are looking up for ya bud

I hate police-bashing but that really is pretty poor!

Blame the (previous) Government, it was their decision to create a uniform Nationwide 'charge' for recovering and storing vehicles.
