It was abandoned opposite the Maryhill police station. I'd like to know how they are so easy to steal. In the short time I've had it I did notice the rear windscreen is far from secure. Don't mind the split tailgate design but the catch seems inferior.

Hoping to find out more info tonight as to its condition etc. Its being held at a recovery place which is shut for the weekend. The police have made no effort to keep me updated. I've had to contact them numerous times today and they can't tell me any details whatsoever. Useless.........

same thing happened to my bro when his corsa got stolen the police said we didnt have to pay storage charges as it was stolen but it was so much hassle just waiting to get it out of the recovery place, took us like 3 hours of waiting and we had to que up with people who were picking there cars up for not having insurance or unpaid parking tickets makes you fill like a criminal when someone has stolen your bloody car

Went to see the car today. Was told the wheel was buckled but wasn't expecting this....
Have to wait for my insurance company to carry out an investigation and tell me what value its worth if I decide to claim.

I'm expecting there to be damage to the wishbone or strut. If not, a new wing and steel wheels should see it road worthy again. What do I do about the ignition barrel though. Will that need replaced.

Managed to salvage my belongings from the boot which were untouched. They stole my headunit and Sat Nav.

Scummy :(

Its disguisting this can happen to people in this day and age mate, some folk shouldn't be allowed into the world with the rest of us!

At least you got your tools and starlet stuff back

Results in.

Cat B and valued at £300.

I've asked for a copy of the engineers report and plan to fetch it back and see if it's repairable. Although I've got enough work to do on the GT!

I've posted a similar thread on Honda Tech and folk have mentioned the guy. Might be worth a try if it's not going to cost the earth.

Will have to fork out £119 to get it back though. Insurance company sent it to Middlesborough to carry out the inspection!

I can vouch for Gerry, when I was in my Civic he provided me with a heck of alot. I live in Birmingham and he got the things to me about 2 days after. Super helpful!
