Mo you are stupid arent ya ? as you bitch like crazy when someone you know or use gets bad mouthed, so hows that any different to spreading rumours about someone else who could be totally innocent.

I for one hope the car is returned but at the end of the day its no it doesnt consern anyone other than the owner and the police until who stole it gets what they deserve.

Yeah Dan, put it on here, as the editor of a respected magazine, spread rumours about a possible thief. That would make you look so good if it turned out what you had heard was wrong! Think Mo FFS.

To be fair, it's the same names that always come up when Cossies are stolen, so there's absolutely no point in me speculating. If someone has been arrested, then the truth will hopefully come out, and, fingers crossed, the car will be returned.

I feel like I've missed something exciting here!

Is the place everyone is intentionally not mentioning outright a genuine suspect? Can't say it would surprise me given the things I've heard.

Hope it's recovered either way.

If the police are investigating then anything else is purely speculation

Well then let's hope the rumours are true, because if they're not then it will unfarily effect the business regardless.

Like that nurse who supposedly killed all those patients at Stepping Hill with Morphine, where the media always posted pictures of her on a night out having fun, or in the publics eye, being a juvenile drunk! Instead of using professional pictures of her in her uniform. What happened, she's innocent and her career is probably ruined because of it all.

Wonder if they are also involved in the black 3door/RS500? with mental spec that went missing ages ago and never resurfaced, forget who the owners name was now

if the feds are involved then unless there is good solid evidence, that will amount to nothing but internet gossip

but i'd like to know if the car was found and in what condition it was recovered in

not too sure about finding out who pinched it if it's a case of "it might have been him, or her, or that blokes pet frog" and the like

Just seen this for the 1st time!!! As Paul_RS says, good chance it could have came to NI....so i posted this link and pics onto a local forum, as its full of farmers....and we know that all farmers like to talk shite (and about shite) to each other. Who knows what can come of it. I hope it turns up!!! Stunning car!!

I doubt it. It's a stripped out race car, a tracker needs to be hidden ideally.

Hope the guy above has some useful news for the owner.

are you saying that they have found the person behind the theft? and what is the company called?

really hope they find all involved, there is a car sales place on our ind estat that got burgled, well attempted last monday night about 1am, the bloody place is on the main road so they must of had some cheek to have a go at that. Makes you wonder that no where is safe these days

Done for what though, handling stolen, then it could be half innocent if they didnt know where the parts come from (would only wash if it was a small amount of parts), and the courts do not work that quickly so I doubt anyone has been 'done' yet.

Excactly, no sense in people spreading rumours that may not even be related to this car. You simply incriminate others and give them and their business a bad name for no reason, thus making yourself out to being a complete bellend!

Best to leave it until something solid comes of it, if anything.
