Awful thing to happen!
No wonder the lowlifes had eyes on it if it was anything like this one on ebay:

Search ebay for:
1979 Jaguar XJ6 4.2L Sovereign Series 2

70,000 miles and it's priced at £17.5k!

That's all these scum ever see in a classic car, a quick profit and almost zilch chance of being caught, esp if they break it for parts or are stealing to order.

It's a pity the courts don't take into consideration the sentimental value there may be in a vehicle and/or the hundreds of man-hours/skinned knuckles that some poor sod may have poured into it, often in freezing cold garages and even sometimes out in the open in all weathers just to keep their pride and joy in good order.

But, hey, let's not forget the offenders have needs too. Give them a cuddle. Yep, but only with a hungry python!
