Eightpot Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 what a ****ty thing to do. Never touch a mans wheels. Hope the thieving pikeys head got stoved in. Feckers probably rolled it on purpose just to get the wheels off once they found bricks weren't high enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Looks like they pulled it over with the roof rack no fingerprints for the Police? bluddy shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Sorry to hear about this John. Looking at the roof, one can only hope they got their heads bashed when it collapsed. Looks like the MSS cubby box took some getting into. Hope you get the insurance sorted smoothly. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozling2 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm really gutted for you John, I know from experience that the insurance company's can't compensate you for all the hard work and time you've put into your pride and joy, hope they give you a fair deal my friend.

dantd5 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 This is damn senseless!! It looks like it was done in wild fury!!! Hope you have no enemies around. Think far- have you showed a finger to somebody lately? Or an ex-girlfriend. I am actually on the detective side to get the culprit. Can't simply believe what I am seeing!!!!!!!!!!

Think far- have you showed a finger to somebody lately? Or an ex-girlfriend. I am actually on the detective side to get the culprit. Can't simply believe what I am seeing!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking that they rolled it empty to get at the wheels - the front end was straightish so it hadn't driven into anything - just dents from rolling. It appears to have been taken for the wheels, snorkel, steering guard etc and rolled to make their job easier. They didn't take the time to remove the Griffin exhaust or Hannibal roof rack though.

sgnas Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The recovery guys are not careful when they collect things like this. So I think quite a lot of the damage could have been done then! The morons who stripped it obviously didn't know that the rack could bring in as much 2nd hand sa the other stuff put together, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Tough break there. My 88" when i had a misshap and rolled it at about 25mph on a road did less damage and as it rolled it was airborne untill it landed on the l/h front corner of the roof, yours was going faster i would say so not just been rolled over to get the wheels off but pranged.

the_mouse_man Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 That is ruddy awful an nice Defender totally trashed for the benefit of some thieving scum. I don't think we can even have the satisfaction of knowing whoever was driving it suffered a serious head injury - if he had their would have been some signs of blood on the interior shots, and I can't see any. Stuff like this really does make my blood boil :angry: :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 that is ****ing upsetting, especially seeing as it was a really nice landy I dare say nobody was in it when it was rolled, and whoever did must of had another vehicle waiting to remove the parts they took. I suspect with a little police interest they could solve this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant. Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 This is ****ing disgusting, I was trying to think of something else to write however everyone else has already expressed my opinion about your vehicle and about the thieving ****'s that stole it. It looks like it was such a nice landy, and admittedly it might not be as bad as it looks, as all the front end as was mentioned is straight, and the tub 'looks' ok in the piccis (as in not to bad...), obviously I dont know anything about the condition of the chassis or the bulkhead, it may look worse than it is as there is alot of bent in the way. I really hope you get all this sorted out, and I sincerely hope that the police do more to help you than they did when my land rover was stolen last year Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
