western Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I recieved the message below from one of our members -so on behalf of LR4x4 management here it is for all members to read -------------- Just had info about hopefully a possible end of a theft ring, Friday before Peterbro my mates truck was open when he got up? put it down to absent mindedness? Arrived home Monday night, went to bed. Tuesday morning his truck was in the cul-de-sac and not on the drive? All doors open and not damaged, the little scrotes had been round Friday to nick the truck and after their brief recccy had discovered he had a battery isolator, cheeky B**tards came back on Monday with a key to have another go, luckily with other cut offs they again failed, but just to make it a proper tiddle-take they took the front off his stereo. The info I have had today is that there are some people in or around Langwith/Worksop/Mansfield in Notts area who are buying from Ebay a truck, cheap as possible and then stealing a newer/better truck and then transferring parts from the stolen vehicle to the legit ebay one and then selling it on for a greater profit. Good news is that these ingenious little thieves left the isolator key in the truck, covered with DNA so it has hopefully led to a positive ID to a least one of them. But be aware if looking to buy from Ebay with loctions in the above area be careful it may not be what it first seems, hopefully more news by the end of today as and when I get to know.
