Haven't heard about one being pinched since December last year, let's hope they trace the reg of the shangshongtingtong that was towing it.

The tow car pictured isn't the same one that's linked in that for sale ad, so it must be on cloned plates. Certainly makes it harder to find

Bad to hear about this, hope they get caught and the guy gets it back. Shame that dash cam can't get their faces as they went past. Could maybe zoom in on the wing mirror to see their face?

It doesn't have the spoiler, tail lights and the shape of the rear side window is different.

Bastards

Wonder who took the pic on the trailer? Would seem odd seeing a car like that on a trailer with a wheel missing?

Hope its returned in the same condition and the thieves get their just desserts.

It's horror stories like this that make everyone want to fit every possible security option. There must be ways to make these cars un-nickable...
