Mate, I think with what we all go through with these bloody things a cry isn't out of the question!
I'd be going fcuking nuts first off, but the crying would come next!
After all the forums etc, where do these cars go?!?! Have you spoken to Tracker mate? I'd be trying everything to get it switched on!
Cant the police MAKE them flip the switch, saves them the arse ache!!

Jase - spoken to them twice - I'll pm you the full story....
Looks like the car was taken by some chap's in hoodies, on the back of a white N(ish) plate Transit...
Front 2 wheels were airborn...

apparently neighbours saw, but didn't stop it happening
If only they'd have been suspicious curtain twitchers and noted the numberplate on the trany.

So the neighbours didn't think something was funny about some pikey looking blokes in hoodies towing your car off. They're f***ing usefull. Did they not think it looked a bit dodgey?
I know how attached you can get to an old Ford mate. I know how gutted I would be if anything happened to mine

i honestly dont think it will be in bits just yet.
obviously im no car thief expert, but id have thought it would be locked away somewhere for a few days until they can be certain its not got a tracker on it thats alive.
just my view, which i hope is true which would give a little more time to find the car

really sorry to hear this mate, just a daft one.... but have you had a walk up and down your road looking at neighbours houses for CCTV?, as i have it on my house and have had to use it a couple of times, when something has happened to a neighbour/neighbours property etc...

As said a million times before, so sorry to hear about this.
But on the plus side, the little douchbag that nicked it can't be too bright, its probably one of the most well known a rarely seen cars on the road
Hope you get good news bud!

Mate so so sorry to hear this! As you may know my Cossie went missing last month and managed to get it back. It was in a lock up within 1/4 mile of my house.
Have a proper nose round all the local dives, try dodgy looking garages/lock ups and anything that looks half suspicious. I managed to find mine so there's hope mate!
And speak to anyone dodgy you know.
Guessign the Tracker compnay said to you the same thing they told me
Its a truly truly gutting feeling, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Feel for you mate

Cheers Si...
Just feel really empty, really strange. Clare has saad the same thing, and she was always joking about the car breaking down on us - you know, got your aa cover etc....
Worse thing is, car was running ok lately too - went to LeMan and back in the summer, and went down to the Goodwood Revival in it on Sunday - even had a few thumbs up on the way there....
But now.... just feel......ehhhhh

Not good, my old mk1 escort got stolen a few years back so i know the feelings Luckily mine turned up but only because they offered some bits from it to a friend of a friend!
Im about 10-15 mins away so il keep my ears and eyes open for it. There was a gang going around catford/bromley area a while back with a blue transit taking cossies and mk1/2 escorts...could be the same lot? Think they may have taken a 3dr from round the corner from me too, all taken in broad daylight...they have some cheek eh
If im right a harvey frost is the only front lifter that can be used on 4x4 cars....and they smash the front out of the car being towed as they swing about so id guess they only want it for bits and it would be in a lockup or garage somewhere near?
Best of luck getting it back, its a horrible time for you right now mate
