where was it found and in what circumstances?

unusual for sure. youd expect all trace to have gone by now.do you get it back or is it the property of the insurance company now?

Well I guess by now the insurance will have paid out so just buy it back off them at 20% of it's value and you're laughing!

car is now mine again just got to get it recovered back from the 250 miles away, no they never caught the scum who stole it, but they got some prints off of the cowling that was dry left nicely preserved in the boot, so fingers crossed they will do. car was found in a yard along with 11 other cossies that had been stored there, was found in upton, huntington. cambs.

did you get to to see the other cossie that were found?
if so might be worth posting up discriptions of them just in case the Id's have been removed, may help the owners get them back.

Just spoke to a mate of mine and he thinks he knows where this was.

Infact he's on here now so he'll probably say what he knows.
