Being in London it's probably passed an anpr camera for either the LEZ or police. Can't bee too many vehicles of that type in that area in such a small window of time?

Definitely loaded on a recovery truck as there were no tyre prints or anything, even the dust gathered around the tyeres wasn't disturbed, it looks as if they've completely lifted the car up like one of them council or dvla trucks do, but them truck cost a lot of money unless hire one, and I don't presume scumbags would have access to such expensive trucks. You'd never tow that car on a low loader it was too low, if they did that it would scrape everywhere and leave paint marks.

No idea really, but definitely towed away though somehow.

I've just read this Nigel about your car buddy I'm so gutted for you, defo post up pics on my fb & my friends fb. I will also put it up on the bike forums I'm on as well buddy the more we spread the word the more the net will tighten up & the theiving scummy bastards won't be able to move it or even sell a single bolt from it. I've just copy cut pasted your spec list of your car & all the rare parts on to a word document I'm going print it off keep it stuck to my pc screen that way if any 2nd hand parts crop up for sale be on ASAP. Get in touch with the docks & scrapys & even contact your local council cctv operators & supply them a pic of the car as well bro that way they can check there footage around your area. Drive around any industrial estates & check they got cameras & contact the cctv operators that way they can check for you also. Go around looking for small time garages as well as you never know what could be lurking around the back. It's bound to surface somewhere bro as its so unique not to.

Thinking positive buddy we as a forum will get these ****ers & hell mend them as if I came across them I would snap both there wrists so they would be able to wipe there arses never mind stealing another car again ever.

I thoughts are with you mucker.

The skyline was without doubt stolen to order, and without doubt for its parts as its easily identified.
Firstly i would raise the question with myself 0f how many enquiries there have been about the car, and especially if someone came to view the vehicle previous to it being stolen.
Perhaps you may have their contact details so you can do some private investigation of your own, check out their home address make some enquiries in the street, ie ask neighbours in a general term "do you know where so and so lives with the gtr".
Co incidentally it may come about that his GTR engine has just blown up,
Or just follow that person as they will not be able to hold themselves back from seeing their new acquisition or their old vehicle being re built.
Is there any local knowledge of a skyline gtr engine blowing up.
Also when a car is taken like this where the owner is aware of the theft straight away the thief usually parks it up within 10 miles of the theft due to police response times and the threat of the vehicle having tracker attached.They can keep their own observations on it to see if it gets recovered.
Shopping center's or out of town retail parks are a good place to start looking, as even a gtr as nice as this one can blend in to the untrained eye.
I know you've probably thought of all this or perhaps I've missed it and it's already been said but if not i hope it helps.

yep, two Asian male had approached the car pretending they admired it and have asked the neighbour how fast/powerful etc it is and what sort of money the owner wants for it if he wanted to sell it as they were looking to buy one.
Definitely them, couldn't be anyone else.

Scumbags.

[Wilkeh]

I am truly gutted for you here mate.

Just to let you know this has come across a few car forums now (Cliosport and Civic Type-R forums mainly)

It won't be just this forum looking now, I have spread the word across as many forums as I could. The more people we have looking out for the vehicle and the parts the better. I really hope someone finds these scumbags. Best of luck mate, my fingers are crossed for you

Thanks a lot mate, very much appreciated.

Let's just hope I get a hint of some sort at least, doesn't seem like I'll be going to sleep at all tonight.

I can only say sorry although these mere words will be of no comfort to you.

This theft has been plastered on Civiclife.net and Facebook too so we will all work together to keep an eye out for you.

Not that I am from that part of London, but there is a place called Gilette Corner somewhere where some guys congregate with their cars on Friday/Saturday nights iirc. Maybe an idea to check there to see if any rumours or gossip are being spread.

Will keep an eye out here in East London and tell my friends too to do the same.

Hope you find her and in one piece.

Best wishes..

In fact the Gillette corner boys seem to be the suspect who've stolen it.

I know where they all gather up on Friday nights, Currys car park on the A4, will pop down there and pay them a visit.

[Kadir]

The two Asian guys you mentioned earlier on in the thread sound fishy. They wouldn't have been there by chance. Hopefully Gillette Corner musters up something for you..

I shall in the meantime as said, keep an eye out for you here in the East end..

Yeah you wouldn't just stand by a car for 5 minutes asking a random person how good it is nor offer to buy someone's car parked in front of their house, sounds silly to me. At least they've exposed themselves.

They'll be found out soon, just hope the car will be in one piece by that time.
