****** little update ******
a week on from my car being taken from outside my house and i and still heard nothing (20th jan)
come the Monday evening and i get a phone call, it was the police
they had found my car!!!
i asked her what damage did it have, she said as far as she was aware it
had ignition damage!!!
i was told i could pick the car up within the next few days as they were
currently running finger print tests.
Wednesday 21st i get a letter telling me to pick the car up at the cost of £105 minimum + £80 if they had to use special means to get the car to the depot + £12 per day storage.
called the depot and the lady confirmed it was there and stated the charges... £199!!!
because the thieves has smashed the barrel the police couldn’t get it started (the thieves used long nose pliers to start it) this cost me that extra £80!!!
took the day off uni and went to get the car, paid the £199 and waited for someone to bring it out. :flame:
it came squeaking out on the front of a folk lift truck!!!
tried to put the key in the barrel hanging from a wire and it wouldn't fit!!!
they has ripped the passenger lock out of the door, dash is all scratched, ripped passenger seat. Also looks as if the front driver wheel has been pushed back slightly. Plastics around the steering column is a mess, dials are half in half out!!! :flame:
i was told the guys took chase from the police, dumped it and ran off.
as i couldn’t get the car to start i had to either tow it with my brothers car of leave it. Fortunately my bro got hold of a good friend to pick the car up the next day. Luckily the woman behind the desk let me keep it there overnight free of charge.
the car got delivered to my mums house and is now sat on the drive looking very sad.
this week i get a letter..... a speeding fine!!!!
90mph in a 30mph zone at 2am the Monday before my phone call from the police!!!!
called the ticket office and explained the car was stolen
sent a letter and it is now under investigation!!!!
feel totally uninterested in it now!!!
its going to need a few parts to get it road worthy again
first thing will be a new barrel,
please if anyone has one with the key pm me with a price,
i will put it up in the wanted section
also will nedd a new dash, center surround and a seat.
past few weeks have been hell, please let this be a lesson of warning for everyone. get yourself an alarm and immobilzer as your first mod!!!!!!!
