STOLEN RENAULT 5 TURBO 2 BLUE 1984

[Leins]

Great news, congrats!

[Usget]

Awesome little car, glad it's back with you.

[Dinoboy]

Brilliant news this. Can't help wondering what they were going to do with it, must surely be one of the rarest/most traceable cars stolen this year.

[Monkeylegend]

Pleased for you OP.

Well..... someone lifted an XK 150: http://www.jagxk.com/news/title/stolen-jaguar-xk15... and this Mexico: http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/ripley...

I don't think either of those have been found.

OP - lucky escape - try and keep it somewhere out of sight if you can.

[TheAngryDog]

Good news that it's been found. I hope that there isn't much damage to it.

[alangtt]

Great news, had an email from turborenault about it. Hope it's ok. On a different point would this now show up as stolen recovered on the insurance database?

[Amirhussain]

Great news OP!

[FraMac]

Excellent news.

Worst "I've got a Turbo 2" thread ever!

[Evolved]

Jesus, I was about to post you'll never see it again as I assumed it was taken to order given it's rarity, loaded onto a container and gone type job.

Can't believe it was a bunch of amateurs that just wanted a joy ride! So so lucky man, bet you're well chuffed!

[ikarl]

Probably worth getting a decent tracker system fitted to it now

[k-ink]

I'm happy for you OP

[MGZTV8]

Well op??????

[johnnyBv8]

Congrats OP - I hope it's undamaged (and that you haven't had to hand £5k to someone!).

[*Al*]

Fantastic news.

Thanks everyone who took the time to post/share/just look at this thread

I'll update with pictures as soon I get some - as far as I know the car is fine but not back with me yet

About the stolen-recovered thing, that is a good question although I am not really worried about future value...no plans to sell it. No doubt I will find out.

I will never forget this one....



It did and it still does.

The car's been found without insurance paying out so it won't show up.

I guess that's a good example of the old saying "he drove it like he stole it!"

Glad all's well. Make sure you find a safer place for it when you get it back.

Glad it's back with you - too often these stories end with the car never being seen again.
