So the pension raiding for my car went well.

It was this lovely one fetcheveryone.com/forum/the-retirement-thread-61674/1153 Nightmare Stander. You'll get it on insurance, I'd think. :-) G

Ah bollocks, stander. I hope the police don’t find it for you - sorry - but having lived through similar in 2016 (I had mine less time than you - just over 2 weeks), I did a lot of digging into what happens when you own a stolen recovered vehicle, and it’s not great. Fmail me if you want to know more.

That sucks, big time, Stander. :(

Do you think it was stolen to order?

:( Sorry to hear your bad news, stander. I had a car stolen from a school car park many years ago. It was never found.

Sorry to hear that Stander.

I had a car stolen when I was at uni. Walked to the police station to report it and the officer bent down and pulled a piece of paper out of the waste basket. 'I know where that is', he tells me, 'but it has no wheels.' Had to get the AA to recover it and take it back to my parents 200 miles away! Apart from the wheels, the only other damage was the removal of the ignition barrel and the central console (containing the radio/cassette player). Kept the car for another 5 years!
