Couldn't agree more!!

Can't believe another ones gone?! They've got to be linked surely??

Harris.

All of them need to check each other out , see if they have ordered any parts etc from the same place . Address /card details and they know you got a rare car !


Worth a shot


And if you own a Mk1 / 2 escort id have a tracker fitted asap .

Very good point!!

Harris.

Id say . Sad times but due to the asking prices of these cars now I guess you can ask whatever you want for parts . Id be more worried owning one of these than a cossie at the moment

This one was spotted being driven through Tinsley at 6:49 yesterday evening by 2 lads in baseball caps.

Police checked their camera's & confirmed the sighting.

Surely it's such a rare car now though, you couldn't sell it or the parts without raising some suspicion? Just hope it doesn't just get burnt.

cossiestu

6.49 am or pm? Busy time of day to be driving a stolen car around, if evening!? At least it's still in one piece so far....

Mike Haywood

Hi guys,

I'm the owner of the car.

The first sighting of the car was by several different people that saw it around 6:40-6:50PM going towards Tinsley. One of the witnesses saw it turn down onto Ackworth Drive (a cul-de-sac).

I went over there at 8am the following day and couldn't spot it but it definitely seemed rather odd how nobody wanted to talk.

It was next seen by several people on Saturday (21st March) around 4PM driving near Meadowhall then onto Ecclesfield Road and lastly around 8PM in Bradfield.

I don't quite get why the thief is driving it in daylight. It's now on nearly 7000 shares on Facebook and everyone seems to know about it.

I heard of a car fire at midnight tonight out in Grenoside so quickly drove over there.

There was not much left to see as the fire brigade had already shifted it. The remains left appeared to be from another car, or so I hope.

It's clearly someone local to the Sheffield/Rotherham area and not exactly a smart cookie.

Everyone has described the driver as a young white male - Seen wearing a baseball cap in the first sightings.

If you see the car, immediately ring 999. Follow at a distance and don't risk endangering yourself.

I appreciate everyones help with getting the word out. Hopefully my car is still found intact.

Thanks again for everything! If you could keep the bubble going by sharing and keeping it a hot topic and not letting it die off, then I'd be really grateful.

Hope it gets found intact Mike and the little bastard gets his poxy baseball cap shoved up his arse

Really hope u get the car back mate. Why are they so many mk1/2 escorts being pinched at the mo? They must be pinching ones with seriously expensive running gear as can't imagine a pinto engine being worth a great amount? Or maybe there ringing the body's with rotten escorts to save restoring them? No idea

muz

Seems to be a massive problem lately! I know locally Motocross bikes are getting pinched on a daily. 3 cars, including my own, were broken into Friday night on my street, as well.

Try finding a good pinto then the cost to modify. Anything escort is worth good money now. A basket case shell for resto starts around 4k.

Mike. I feel for ya mate hope its gets returned. But no doubt the scum will get away with it as the law are only interested certain aspects of their job which make money.

Fullflush

The places it has been spotted in Sheffield aren't exactly next to each other, Tinsley to Bradfield are a good 30 min drive apart.

PM

Reports of it being seen driven recklessly in Bradfield at 8pm last night

gcfcos

I would have thought with all this modern technology like anpr etc as soon as it goes past a camera it would pick it up??

ludacris s

Will keep my eyes peeled tomorrow at work. Deliver to quite a few undesirable work shops around North Sheffield.

beaver rs 88

Will keep an eye out as I work in Sheffield and go through tinsley every morning.

Fullflush

I'll go for a drive through Bradfield tomorrow.

Just a thought, maybe people not so clued up have just seen a red mk2, put 2+2 and though it to be yours?

It seems exceptionally brain dead to be rallying it around. But hey, these are brain dead scum after all.

cossiestu

The little turds seem pretty brazen to be driving around in it at that time of day....?

Harris.

Because if they get caught what will they get ? 100 hours community service?

vroooom ptssssh

turbolee

such a shame i live in rotherham and work in sheffield will keep an eye for you

cossiestu
