A relative in the Warrington area woke up to find her car had gone it was a 2002 Ford KA she believed it had stolen so reported it to police, she then goes to work and when she returns the car is back !!! The car park has gates and CCTV on and today we managed to get hold of the CCTV and we can see the car was towed away behind a black Mitsubishi Warrior it was returned 8hrs later and they take another Black KA from the car park. From the CCTV we can see a person in the KA steering it but the car had no broken windows so they managed to get into the car itself, unfortunately the CCTV didn't capture the reg plate, I recon they made a mistake and took wrong car but they could of easily checked the plate so not sure if its a scam, even if it was a mistake its bad they did it and didn't even own up to it ... ? The owner of the car depends on to get to work and back and was very upset and now even more so she knows someone was in the car, they disconnected the battery so now she needs radio recoded, also her insurance company increased there premium even though the car was not stolen in the end.

It got even weirder today, the CCTV showed them returning my sisters car and then taking another black KA from the car park the other KA has now turned up again in the car park, we don't know who it was but sister is putting note on windscreen asking the other owner to call and explaining we have cctv of all of it. The car was towed away by a Black Mitsubishi Warrior in the Runcorn area if anyone knows of such a vehicle ?

Police been useless they aren't interested now car been returned.

As for the comment on insurance increase being 'bull sh*', all I can repeat is what I've been told.

Mystery solved, finally spoke to other KA's owner, turns out she had given her key to a garage to come and pick the KA up as it had broken down, the key to the other owners KA also opened the locks of my sisters KA(but wouldn't start it) so they thought they had the right car, someone earlier suggested this but I thought as this an 07 KA surely they would of sorted that by now but no. Anyway the other owner came home and spotted the error, the garage had returned the car and thought they got away with it but obviously not, there going to sort the stereo for her.
