ananab Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 My baby has just been stolen. I must of been less than 10 metres away in the work flat i'm staying in, in Birmingham. She's a 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 ex-FFR 2.5 na Diesel, registration L189 DRH. Her rear foot steps have the Royal Engineer Corps colours on them (red with 2 horizontal blue stripes) and the roof lining i put in the back is black and white cow print (i know, i know). She's still NATO matt green and has the spare on the bonnet. Stupidly the last time i drove her i was lazy and left the bag with all her registration docs inside. I know it's a long shot, but please keep your eyes peeled. Thanks from a sad and angry man John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete3000 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 which side/area of Birmingham? the police could be of help as they have their new shiny roadtax reading cameras plastered about, should get a ping. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrr47 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That's very sad news, so sorry to hear of anyone's Land Rover being stolen. As Old Hand has said, what are the police doing? Will keep an eye out here in sunny, (NOT), South Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I've seen it copied to the Landywatch faceache page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Would certainly seem to be a pattern, with quite a few going over Christmas, http://www.landywatch.co.uk/smf2//index.php?board=7.0 Wonder if there are certain individuals who were at it a few years back who have been let out, and are back to what they know how to do best. Sorry for vagueness but a google search stolen landrovers midlands would throw up some info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 after a bit of searching Saw this post on defender2.net http://www.defender2.net/forum/post146493.html could be nothing and all above board, but interesting observation that ebay smaller items are photo'd on house/driveway, larger items are on rough ground such as wasteland etc. can't find any record of a company reg with ebay name, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ananab Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just a bit of an update. Still no news from the Police, and to be honest I don't expect a positive outcome. However, for those few who think it's a victim less crime; apart from the amount of hours and dosh put into my baby, it now transpires there is a very high chance I will not get an insurance pay out due to a technicality that voids my claim. Very sad teddy bear here right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Is it possible to say what the technicality is? If there is any chance that mentioning it could affect your claim then please don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Whatever the 'technicality' is - I would fight it! Take it to the Insurance Ombudsman if your insurer won't budge. They usually find on behalf of the claimant. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually find on behalf of the claimant. Si Second this. A few years ago I read a very interesting article on insurance which I failed to save or have lost . Basically it revealed that an insurance company cannot refuse a claim on the grounds of a technicality that has no bearing or relevance on the claim. For example, mistakenly quoting a wrong engine size and the claim is for a vehicle that was stolen when parked outside your property. They will try to bully and badger you but an ombudsman will be sympathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
