Ryan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Just had an email from my dad who gets emails from Hampshire Constabulary Horsewatch/Countrywatch. Apparently four Defenders have been stolen recently in Sussex. I don't have any other details at the moment, but if you're offered anything that seems a bit cheap, it may be a tad warm.

Ryan Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Right, sorry for the delay, have been waiting for some extra details. Turns out it was actually two thefts and to attempt thefts: 1. Stolen - F962KLBL (this is obviously an incorrect VRM, but it would be "similar to") - Landrover Defender - C/F: SALLDVAB7EA348388 - stolen from Heyshott (near Petworth) 2. Stolen - M231UVS - Landrover Defender - Stolen from Hammer near Haslemere.3. Attempted to steal Landrover defender from Henley near Fenhurst - damage to lock barrel - 4 x wheels stolen 4.

Retroanaconda Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I got pulled over last night in my 90, they told me they are pulling all older Defenders seen on the roads at night. Also breath-tested me as the car was full of my (inebriated) colleagues! Glad to see they are taking some action, the guy was very nice about it all too.

pedro Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Some young "geezer" knocked on my door at 6pm about a month ago asking if he could "wash my car" (there were about 4 cars on the drive at the time.) He looked decidly shifty and nervous when i opened the door (there were 3 quite large fellows in my kitchen in their chainsaw/sawmill clobber and they can sniff BS at 100 yards. So, we said "err no thanks, and would prob be helpful if you came in daylight and brought a bucket", he left. However, he came bk about 4 days later at midnight (i live in rural W. Sussex), only to be caught deep into my driveway by my trusty employees (ex Polish army major) who put a torch in his face. Of course he ran off like a scalded cat. Called Police and they said there have been a spate of 4X4's stolen along my lane. Have upgraded security on defender, nuff said! Keep you toy safe.
