Pisses me off, in some instances I actually think it's people on the internet seeing the car and thinking "I'll have that for myself" getting scagheads to steal it for £50 quid and just showing their scally mates every now and again down their lockup.

Shitcunts.

A) Ring it.
B) Break it up.
C) Export it.

Either way they will make lots of money.

Its standard though. Although money can be made, there are far better examples out there to strip for parts. Thieving wankers.

I think the insurance company will be asking a couple of extra questions on that one.

Also stolen is various computers apple mac and windows based so please keep an eye out for these as well.

Reg on escort is K43 MOR & as said S55 SPG on the leon.
Anyone who knows Sean will know how fussy he is and both these cars are in PERFECT CONDITION.

Please please keep an eye out and spread the word.

These cars are both somewhere in a garage or shed etc and someone will have seen them,please mention to as many people as possible, its not every day you see a stone mint red ecossie driving down the road!!!



Cosworth - Only 7k miles on the clock so pretty unique - K43 MOR



Leon - Nothing unique about this unfortunately - S55 SPG



Poor guy was on holiday, still is in fact. Girl he knows went to the house to detail the cars, only to be faced with an empty garage and a ransacked house.

Sad to read about the poor guy's loss, especially whilst on holiday... but something that made me :

"Girl he knows went to the house to detail the cars"

...the guy must be crazy about these motors to have someone "detail" them whilst he's on holiday!! - Is this what it takes to keep cars in such great condition?

Standard = harder to trace..

If someone is suddenly breaking up a car with loads of aftermarket parts that a recently stolen car had its a bit obvious.

not being funny ... the guy put his car up for sale just before he went on holiday?

Why not just wait till you return from hols to try to sell the car?

How would he respond to messages / phone calls etc while on hols... slightly odd.

Same old story with most car thefts now, so they came around first time and tried to start it - no good so they break into the house for the keys.

Seems now more than ever if someone wants something they will get it no matter what.

Guy must be devestated, I know how I felt when my car was stolen and that could of been replaced quite easily if I had the time / money / willing to make another.

A 7k Cosworth is near enough irreplacable.

Really is not worth trying to have anything anymore, some little cunt will always have an eye on something they can't have.

TBF from the pics of the Leon I know who it is he uses to detail them and she's bloody good. And it's probably an ideal time for somebody to work on both of them without rushing if they're just going to be sat there!

Or not in your own house while away. I'd have passed them to a m8, family member etc...

Thats what I was thinking. You'd never find the safe that my Dad keeps his 360 keys in let alone find the keys!
