Thumbs up Result
Nice one, I was sure it would've been stripped by now.Did they catch them? It will be on camera, there's not much moves in Edinburgh without being monitored.

Fingers crossed the only damage is the visible stuff, and the engine etc are ok... my balls are crossed!!

Plates and tax disc were gone :S bizzare, but suppose it just make it slightly more difficult to trace the car quickly. VIN plate still there.

Fee is currently at The Garage having lunch and picking up the loan car.... she'll be heading over to look this afternoon.

my god..... and we just bought a new one yesterday too LOL , deposit paid anyway.

Need to wait and see whats what though.

Great news. What are you doing in Norway?? and where in Norway are you

Fantastic news that its found and hopefully safe and undamaged!!

Can I say one thing though you don't need to spend a fortune on bonkers satelite systems, or keep a nasty monkey in the boot:-

1) removable steering wheel / boss. With no steering wheel, no one will nick it (unless they got a pickup truck I suppose!)
2) hidden switch to the fuel pump so you can switch it off

No fuel pump and no steering wheel - safe car. Simple, cheap, But very very effective.

fingers crossed.... The battery will be long flat (redtop15) but i'm sure there was a booster pack and trickle charger in the boot.... just in case the theives needed a hand. doh.

Marc - watch yourself in the boot... smelly football kit and all. :¬

WRC - Been in Stavanger on and off since the 27th, currently out in the North Sea, but will be back in stavanger for the weekend.

only thing i would point out is i've heard of thieves using a pair of mould grips to steer a car with no wheel
