Inform the Police, though if its all taxed there is not a lot they can do. Maybe if it shows no insurance they can sieze it.

As an upstanding citizen I would check to see if doors are open, have a shufty round inside to see if there is anything super dodgy in there, then lock it up nice and safe.

Who's gonna be the first to say try and claim it

Does the numberplate written on the tax disc match the car?

See if it is insured on http://www.askmid.com/ownvehicle/

just checked on the insurance database, and the number plates for a merc. Also looked at the tax disc, and thats a different number plate to one the car, and checked that on dvla, and its defo for the jag, so plate have been stollen and put on the jag and the stoll the jag to.

police have been informed now

cheers all for your help.

shame really, as its in great nick, and no damage at all to it. hopefully it can be returned to its owner

Give the old bill a call and tell them there is a stolen jag outside you gaff that is filled with donuts that are due to go out of date tomorrow.

You'll have the whole force down there!
