Very sad and angry Mitch
I'm sorry about what has happened to your car, but really hate it when we all get tarred with the brush of being car thieves, Glasgow car-crime capital of UK, etc etc.
It appears that Hull retained the title this year, followed by Nottingham, Bradford, Manchester and Doncaster.

According to Moneysupermarket, there isn't a Scottish postcode in the top 20.

TalkTalk place Alness and Aberfeldy at No13 and no 18 respectively - and anyone who has been to either will probably be as surprised as me by their inclusion.

The hotel guy may have saved your car by going out and interrupting two guys who may have had knives or whatever - how about "well done the Scottish guy that saved my car?
I did a quick search on here using Stolen as the keyword.
The first page brought up 8 other cars, a van and a motorbike plus a set of wheels, all stolen from England or Swansea (I think I'm right in saying Bortaf and D16PJM lost theirs south of the border - if not, I apologise right now)
There was a link to Scottish Old School or similar but no-one could open it without registering, but even if that is another car lost in Scotland we either don't post about our stolen cars or we are no worse than anywhere else.
Rant over
