I remember it as I lived in Bournemouth then and a mate worked at English's in Poole.

appartently it was a customers car that was stolen from inside the workshop.

Not seen the video since it was on TV though.

I remember seeing a white Sapphire in a armed robbery in buxton I think it was.The robbery was featured on crimewatch years ago and some passer by videoed it I bet my flint grey one has seen a few chases seeing as its an ex drug squad car.It hasnt seen anything else in the last 7years though
There is also a mercury grey one floating about that I think some one had their head blown off in whilst sitting outside a club in Manchester.I did see the car before it was put back on the road.

Hum dinger as in rin well you know what i mean.No it was all legit and above board.No one wanted the car recognized,well thats how the story goes I was told by some one in the unit at the time.Its easy to get an age related plate.Car was owned by a drug dealer apparently with lots of enemies (some with guns too lol).

That robbery where a passer by filmed it was in Stratford upon avon.It was filmed by a tourist.There was a copper who witnessed it and said.
"As soon as i saw a cossie outside the jewellers ,i automatically thought robbery"

It was on crimewatch around 1995
