Do you know the mileage?
Maybe it was parked up and left the same day.

Can't see it affecting the warranty at all.

I was not suggesting private plates. Just ensure the car had not been used in a robbery. The police would be able to confirm or deny this.

There is a good chance its been used for some sort of criminal activity,they are having alot of problems in the area it was found they have obviously taken to driving over to my area as its probably a soft touch.

To be honest mate it's very common for car thieves to park them up and wait to see if the car has a tracker fitted.  Hope it works out ok for you!

Do the police know how long it was parked up for?

It may have been there a while and not reported straight away.


I suppose your insurance company will advise about keys. Replacements are not cheap.

They will have to change keys and locks and recode i should think being as they were both stole.
