That makes it ok?

Not explicitly, however the use of the words "just as a taxi" seem to me to be diminishing what is an extremely upsetting experience. The implication being that it was a cheap car without a fancy immobiliser or alarm thus it was ok to nick it to get home in.

But perhaps I'm over analysing your post.

Just feel bad for the guy getting his car nicked, I'd be raging.

Sorry mate I didn't get that at all. He's in no way saying that makes it ok, he's just saying that may have been the case, and that it wasn't a highly thought out scheme to get money...just a joy ride

Just for the record I didn't say any of that.

Twisted' what's not to get?

I understand that "it wasn't a highly thought out scheme to get money" and did say "perhaps I'm over analysing your post".
Ultimately all I was expressing was "Just feel bad for the guy getting his car nicked".

You'd be lucky to find it.

It's probably going to be rung.

They'll take off anything that'll identify it, swap the chassis number plate, license plates and sell it on.

Same thing happened to my brother's Triumph Daytona when he was living in Saxmundham in the 90's.

Luckily he had a tracker on his bike... He was pretty confused to get it back with different plates.

He actually said "You've bought back the wrong bike."

Ringing is becoming more and more common now, and it tends to be done in large amounts of cars.

The only thing he can really do would be to note the number plates of any similar cars he sees and run an HPI check on any he sees.

Usually the plates will be off of a stolen car, so you can inform the Police of it's presence on the road and it's number plate.

Try looking on eBay for them and running a few HPI checks.

Most HPI websites cost - but if you dig you might find a free one.

Even if you find a possible match, it's unlikely you'll actually get the car back.


It could be worse though, the same brother had his house burgled in Ashford, he had all of his stuff bundled into his wife's car (the keys for which were on the hook) and they drove off with the lot!

doubt it would be made into a ringer ? being a mk2 driver and a bit "ruff" it'll be kids that rag it to death and then burn it out sorry to say
