Taken from www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?t=141871

"Few days ago went to my mums who lives in a lovely block of flats, she's away for 3 months, sun was out got my own key took her brand new a3 convertible as the sun was shining and left my mk2 in her space (allocated parking off street)

Today weather was pants, not driven the car for a few days so went passed on my way to work this morning to get it, half way into her parking space it hit me.... My car's gone

Last seen by me on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and by a neighbour on Wednesday...

Thieving scumbags.... Cars stands out and is the only one in my area so I'm keeping my fingers crossed... Keep an eye out on ebay and the likes.."

That must gut you, I feel so sorry for you!!. Clearly its not scrap fodder,Its seems like it will reappear under a new ID.
Is it just me or are Escort values really at ridiculous levels?

[PhoenixCapri]

Gutted, hope it turns up safe as it looks a very nice one. And yes escort values are stupid and the fact they are so easy to nick doesn't help

[magnumpi]

Hope it comes good for you mate.

It is trues Escort prices are rediculous, so for what you may loose surely if you own one it's worth investing in a Trakker, i know they aren't perfect, but they must help a bit?

[garth]

OMG! Mate my heart goes out to you! Was this in classic for thick book type edition?

[Lankytim]

I wouldnt leave an escort like that parked up anywhere, they are just too nickable.

Car stolen is a Mexico, car on eBay is a 1600 Sport.

Rear quarter graphics are different.

Props for keeping your eyes open though!

Hmm altho not this car on ebay 'Please note the car has no V5 Documents ,tags or vin plates' it does sound dodgy

[dungbug]

Looks alot like the same car to me, if it is, whoever's got it isn't going to try & flog it in the same state it what in when he lifted it. Stripped & roughed up a bit, swap the wheels over & who would know(?)

I thought it was illegal to sell a motor without a VIN plate

I take it you've got the police involved, I'd let them know about this......The seller sounds a bit 'sus' IMO.

[rodney]

this is a mates car that was stolen , know the car well , the car in the ebay add isnt he car

[marksparks999]

I thought it was illegal to sell a motor without a VIN plate

no depends on the age of the vehicle, there are examptions pretty much pre- 1980, as some cars pre then didnt have a stamped in VIN, its all to do with ISO Regulations.

Thanks guys the fact someone remembered is excellent, however there are far too many differences between that and mine for it to be my old one.

However that car does look really dodjy and although I can see the ebay advert I cant log in to ebay to report it

Thanks, Yodi

Really feel for you mate. Hope it turns up or at the very least the insurance pay enough for you to get another one.
