Erallus 10 Posted February 21, 2014 I read an article the other day about old mini's being targeted for their parts value. It seems Corrado's are now targeted for the same. Really hope you get it back asap, keep in touch. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sancho 10 Posted February 21, 2014 Thank you all, I feel like I have lost my best friend, but like portent said I think it was targeted anx I doubt ill be seeing it again. Has anyone ever experienced this? Im totally unaware of the process the insurance company go through Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAM11E 10 Posted February 21, 2014 A friend of mine had her modified golf stolen, they set a time period for the car to be found/recovered. They will make sure you have been truthful with your insurance and you will be asked for all your documents, they will liaise with police etc If your car doesn't get recovered they will give you a settlement/value figure for the car and put it down as a stolen my recovered. Shame dude Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted February 22, 2014 Worth checking local car parks and any under ground parking etc. Some people will leave them for a bit after stealing. Then come back to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavyDave 10 Posted February 22, 2014 Arrrggghh. That's awful. Effing scumbags. Keep positive though -- my C-VR6 was stolen last April, and I assumed that was it. It was found abandoned 6 days later! Front sea packed with crow-bars, axe, etc. No need to guess what it was being used for. If you get a call from the cops try to recover on the road yourself as you will be charged £150 if the police recover it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would surely have broken down on them as they were making their getaway. \Paddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavyDave 10 Posted February 22, 2014 Hey... 2 weeks later I got a summons from the police of their intent to prosecute as my car had been clocked at 86 mph in a 30 zone. The speed-cam picture looked great though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon 0 Posted February 22, 2014 Myself and a few friends from dropouts have been sharing it on Facebook mate , hope you find it safe and sound pal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonlightVR6 10 Posted February 22, 2014 Man thats sucks ass! Good luck with finding her safe mate, I'd be heartbroken if anything like that happened to mine, some little **** broke my window the other week and that was bad enough. They really should bring the death penalty back for swine like this! Typical that they tried charging you with the speeding ticket, the police are ****ing useless, it was declared stolen at this point right? Im assuming it was a rear facing one or that you couldn't you see the culprit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavyDave 10 Posted February 22, 2014 Ha. yes, I only went on the police site to see if I could identify the driver, but it was a rear shot. Oh yes, it was 2 weeks after I got the car (3 weeks from theft) back from the cops that I got the summons. No link between computers obviously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
