So sorry Nigel, it's all over my Facebook page and has huge coverage, if that helps at all

I actually saw the car recently (a few weeks ago) in the flesh for the 1st time, parked up in South Ealing as I was heading to Brentford Football ground, it looked superb sat there

Nigel, have you plotted the most obvious route from your road and looked to see if any shops have CCTV, or if there are any private CCTV camera on the route. Time is against you as some people only store 3 or 4 days worth of data. get out there!

Sorry to hear this. Be VERY vigilant as to what info you are sharing on this. The thieves can keep one step ahead if they see this thread.

Latest from the police.

Seems like a well-coordinated operation, the suspected tow truck's registeration does not match the make of the truck, but seems a cloned one belonging to a company up north, they have used that registration plate on the tow truck to lift it up.

I asked many questions, but as of now, the police are not giving me much information, but they said they will do all they can to locate the suspected truck with a false VRM.

Yes, about 10 of us were patrolling the surrounding areas and backstreets, industrial units, backstreet garages, breakers yards, the boys are still looking for it literally on the hunt.

Which unless they've been given more intel or more witnesses have come forward it will be like finding a needle in a haystack, especially if they have changed plates on the truck again. Plus your local police will have to liase with other forces as well.

Sorry to be doom & gloom geezar but lets just hope that someone out there knows something or sees something

What's important is tracing the route/direction of where the truck was heading, and a rough destination of where it ended up or was seen without a load after.

Finding the truck in a way is the same as finding the car itself, the police is on it though.

Mate steeling a man's pride and joy must be one of the best reasons for bring back public hanging!!

Gutted for you!!

Nigel-Power · 9th February 2012, 03:30 PM

One of the locals gave me the registration of the suspected transporter, I don't know wherther it matches that of what the police has got, but according to one local resident who came running to me early on with the registration written down on a piece of paper. Details have been passed on to Chiswick Police station who are now dealing with the case.

This is the type of vehicle on the insurance database? Might help?

The details on the MID are:

Vehicle Make/Model: FORD TRNSIT/TRUCK
Vehicle Type: COMMERCIAL VEH/VAN

Hope it works out well for you

Dave.

Seems the description from the neighbours and the registration are a good match.
