keithjh Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hi All, Some toerag took the 110 CSW 200TDI, last night/ early morning, found out at around 0530 when wife went out to work. Fitted with 1.6m Ezi-Awn etc. Realistically this will be broken up in a day or so, i have no hope of the Police finding it, its not took by joy-riders as the Police would like to think. Anyway its a 200TDI only done 35000miles on a new lump. Reg A588 GJV To say i`m pi$$ed off is the understatement of the year.

LS26 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Commiserations Keith - I know that sinking feeling well when you go out to find your baby missing. I often thank fate that I have ended up living opposite curtain-twitching old insomniacs - Mr Shires has saved me grief on several accasions over the last 3 years... Fingers crossed you might find it... One of my cars was nicked years ago and a mate found it parked up on an industrial estate the next day so I had to go and nick it back! There are a lot of people here who keep an eye on Ebay = are there any identifying features on any of the components that we should know about?

Peter Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Keith, That's really dreadful, have put the word out on a couple of other 4x4 forums I belong to in the South East. Suggest others do the same including the following link : http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=9863 linking back to your message. The more who can keep there eyes out the better - can you post any more photo's / details - distinguishing body panel damage or styling etc, ? Am off to Wales at later in the week so will keep my eyes peeled on the way. My father had his 300tdi 90 stolen off his driveway, turned up 3 miles away about a week later. Whilst I had my winch and bumper stolen 2 months ago - thieves in the night. So know how you are feeling. Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dew110CSW Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Comisserations (However you spell it!) That looks a nice 110 as well, let's hope it's found. I'll keep my eyes open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul64 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm really sorry Keith. Gut wrenching to say the least. Not much I can do to help from Germany apart from post the link with details to my friends back in the UK. Although I do feel like bringing over the boys to police the streets. Something is not right with all this thieving going on. I hear this sort of thing all the time when the lads are on exercise in Poland, but back in Blighty?? This really pi**es me off. Sorry again. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog I have the new engine/gearbox numbers which i will find out and post, chassis had a new rear quarter last year, the ezi-awn is the 1.4m, not that many of those around they are normally the 1.2m. going to drive round in the RR now its getting light and have a look around, but don`t hold out much hope i would not think its the sort of thing kids steal, also i am right out in the country, kids are not going to come out here in the hope of pinching a car when towns estates etc are full of cars. I think its been took to strip and sell at jumbles e-blag etc, or its been pinched to order. Obviously it will be reported to the insurance company as soon as they open, but i will never get back what its worth to me as well as all of the hours work that have gone into it.

TheRecklessEngineer Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Absolute gits. I hope you find it. I had my bio-diesel processor nicked out of my driveway once. It was an old copper water heater with a load of extra valves and pipes soldered in. Guess they nicked it for the copper. I only hope that the toxic mix of methanol, caustic soda and glycerine in the bottom dissolved some sensitive part of their body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Bunch of scrotes Might be an idea to scour eBay for any bits of 110 that pop up, seems to be the favourite outlet for dodgy gear these days - so much easier than the local car boot sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yostumpy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi I know it hurts and your gutted!! now you think of all the times you didnt even worry about locking it,etc.etc. Dont waste your time looking for it!!!!! I did and it became a frantic daily search on ebay, parts, autotrader etc.etc. I basically became obsessed in trying to find it, or any part from it, but also trying to find a replacement. up at 5.30 in morning on t'intnt looking what was available. mine as a c reg 110 ht with, well lets just say lots, but valued at 5 big ones!! I new i wouldnt see it again but had to have another NOW!!!! So I drove from kent to manchester and bought a lovely 98 300 110 ht, a really beautiful thang!! and I felt better. BUT 3 weeks later my old one was found intact, and been used for burglaries in london, and was found about 5 miles from my house. But I had been payed off by then, then someone on this site informed me it was on ebay as a newly mot'd vehicle, boasting all the new parts it had. that I'd put on. What a nightmare!! what do you do???? do you buy it and sell the new one and lose money?? do you watch it there on the screen everyday. I forced myself not to buy it, but it was hard, it went for 2250 i think, but it was basically a new truck but 21 years old. My god they got a good deal. MY POINT finally!! is dont panick and buy another too soon, you never KNOW whats round the corner, I should have bought an ex post office sherpa for about 800 and then used that for 6-8 months. Always get your money back on them. Never mind. I DO know how you feel, cheers stumpy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
