Default STOLEN CAR - found 15/05 burnt out

My old mans Granada Cossie was stolen last night from his flat in Edinburgh. It has a private plate (D2 CFM) and is smokestone blue, can anyone let me know if they see it or notice it dumped etc

Bit of a long shot but they are bound to be a few members from around the area,

Only pic i've got the now is this one, its in the background. Will try and get a better pic.

spookily spooky but the pikeys have been asking about the engine in the front garden for the past few days
i have the idea that, had i not spent 3 and a half hours last night dimsnatling it, they would have had it away last night because, even thoguht it was under a tarp and tucked away, the tarp was cut open and then put back over again to make it look like nothing was going on

gutted for you, they are nice comfy barges

thanks for all your suggestions and kind words

carfixz - thats a good point about they pikey b*stards, forgot about them. The car got broken into on the day of Ford Fair 2006, we were just leavin and noticed it had been forced open and steering shroud etc been ripped off

Just such a shame, not seen a Granny this clean and tidy in a long long time, and it was a 400 mile trip to get one this nice
