A little update on the afore mentioned mk1 Escort

My mk1 recovered!!!! By....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Myself

Its been the craziest after noon

I went out to pay in a cheque, got to my bank and was chatting to the lady behind the counter. She commented that there been alot of things being stolen lately. I then told her what car it was and she went white and looked shocked. She decribed it perfectly and told me she had seen it this morning. The funny thing is it was 2 roads over from where I live.

So I sprinted to the police station to tell them, they sent a area car to have a look but reported nothing back

I was sad at this point but I still went round to have a look for myself.

As I approached the house I seen a glism of the rear louve and there it was
It was on the driveway of a empty house
So I was straight on the phone the police, who came out quickly.

They had a look around and asked some ppl, but then they implied that I had sold it and reported it stolen because they could'nt understand why it was found so close to my house and without damage.

Anyway a recovery truck came out to lift it and the guy tried to start it with my car, the barrel would'nt turn tho and has been damaged.

They called the person who had the house for sale and she came round and said shed never seen the car before.

So now i've got to wait a few days to get it back from fingure printing and dna testing.

I'm so lucky and thankful right now. Gonna get the lady in the bank i big bunch of flowers

Thanks everyone on here for your support


Thanks to eveybody who has looked out and replied from this thread

lol @ a 5 year old post, that said many people scream 'reeeeeepppppost!!!' and 'use the search function' so not surprising the odd old thread gets dragged up with someone not clocking when it was posted.
