when a guy i work with had his car stolen/recovered, it went straight to the police impound since it wasnt damaged. he went to identify the car and check his tent and tools were still in the boot.

the day after he went to pick it up and the tent & tools were missing... keeping in mind that the only people with access to the yard were police officers he wasn't best pleased. To add more fun to the situation he's actually married to a copper who got straight on the phone to the chief constable.

i was never told the full details of what happened next but i know that they got brand new stuff back and someone was charged and suspended from duties

i love this country.

its a fooked up world isnt it! not even safe in a police yard!!

the bloke that is the work shop manager mentioned about claiming on their insurance for my stuff back so i should get brand new stuff, including some nice shiney new BBS centre caps (if they still make them for RA's), but i need to get the model number for my Kenwood Head unit, and i cant find the box!! Should i just look at any random Head unit and give him that model number?

[omg its aj]

look on their site and see if you can recognise it

^^ I was thinking that but its about 2 years old so not sure if it'll be on..........only one way to find out tho ay!

[omg its aj]

At 2 years old it should still be covered under warranty? So it may not be on the main part of the site, but check the support section.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine some years ago . He had a Mk1 GTI with a 1900 conversion that I had built for him (it came 2nd in the modified class sprint at Gti international at Crowthorn back in the early 90's )
Anyway, he had the wheels nicked off it when it was parked somewhere off the Pearly Way (London) , it was then taken to a police compound to keep it "secure". But when he came to collect it a week later with some spare wheels that he had borrowed , the car had been completely stripped  (including the engine and gearbox)  :shocked:

stories like this i find really shocking. Its just wrong that ppl do things like that and how ever the twit who did it thought he'd get away with it god only knows. As far as your HU goes Id try to find something similar but maybe a couple of models up and give them the serial number from that as the one u had. Its got to be worth a go as they are replacing stuf rather than tracking the old stuf down and giving it back. Good luck and i hope all turns out ok.

^^^ i was thinking about doing that, picking out a nice one!!
