I never thought it would be that easy but my friends car was stolen and then scrapped for the cash . The car being a totally original unmolested mk4 escort with 60k and 3 owners since new in 89. I was one of them owners too.
Ok the idiot who did it has been charged for it (used photo I.D) WTF !!!! and also gave his address .
So essentially anyone can scrap anything they wish with some form of I.D legal or not without any logbook/V5 or any other proof of ownership
what a f**ki*g joke !!!!

What the hell has an old Escort getting stolen and scrapped got to do with Murdoch? Is that how he made his fortune ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Sad to say, there are an awful lot of scrap merchants who'll take stuff without asking questions. Doesn't appear to be a particularly well regulated industry.

Unfortunately they can take a car without the documents, the scrappy has to then fill out a V860 form which is posted to the DVLA to notify them of the scrappage.
And a COD (Certificate of Destruction) has to be issued to the person scrapping the car.

After reading some of the comments you can definately say the whole industry a fooking piss take.
But the guy who gave his own I.D just shows what people are capable of ... As said most likely receive a slap on the wrists and a small fine. Its just totally unacceptable the sad thing is NOTHING will bring the old girl back !!!!
Now..... where,s that address hmmm

as a recovery driver i often take cars in for legally garages ect.
and i never get asked for any id proof of ownership keys logbooks
and in hull people nick old cars and scrap them every day the police dont do shite
if the police and dss sat outside these yards even once a week then they would catch loads and most people claiming dss and it is hardly ever pikeys just scroats

Failure to do so and they should lose any permission to handle scrap metal or be in business.
But, that would be too sensible.

Years back my mates escort broke down after a late shift at work. He locked it up and got a cab. Came back the next day to find it gone!!
Few days later we went to the scrappy and there it sat on the top of a load of others cars. The bloke at the scrappy looked very sheepish when we asked why my mates car was in his scrap yard and why did he take a car in that was stolen.
