So the police took the first car because it was stolen. They went back to the garage and the resolution was to give them two BMWs, and they saw nothing wrong with this offer, and no likelihood that the garage that had sold them a stolen car would be giving them two more stolen cars? Cars are one of the easiest things to check the status of and they wonder why the police are not interested in them as victims.
how do you check the status of a SoR car, if the owner still thinks its for sale?Sheepshanks said:

The Porsche was on SOR so "stolen" is a very debatable point, hence the surprise at the Police wading in. I don't think the status of the BMWs has been mentioned - they might have been "normal" stock.Here is a topic started by the guy whos car it was:

WTF is "dog hydrotherapy", anyway, and how does it pay so well...?
1. Put dog in harness contraption2. Lower dog into paddling pool
3. ????
4. Profit
Either he makes all the money, or she sold the dog hydrotherapy business for a big sack of cash.
On a separate note:
Does the tracker report last known position too? If so, the wording of the article is slightly inaccurate - the tracker cannot report that it's inside a garage, it can only report that the last known position was just outside the garage.

The tracker showed it was inside the garage
How so - I thought the only way a tracker could give such a precise location was by GPS, which needs line of sight to a satellite?Does the tracker report last known position too?

It works best is there's line of sight but it can work indoors. If the car was in flimsy garage it would likely work OK, and it can work through windows.ash73 said:
I'm curious why the car was classified as stolen if the original owner gave the garage permission to sell it. If the garage didn't pay up why is it not treated as an outstanding debt?
I'll never buy a car that is on sale or return after reading this!
I would, but only after contact with the current owner. Though I'm unlikely to be in that kind of position anytime soon. I'll never buy a car that is on sale or return after reading this!
Meanwhile, police turn up at another house in search of stuff stolen from the orange people in chunky knitwear.
"No, Constable, we can't go in there. Look - there's a bit of red plastic tape dangling across the drive. We Shall Not Cross. Their drive might have been newly surfaced in Genuine Real Stone (tm) that still needs time to cure."
"Oh, OK, Sarge"

Tracker use GSM (you get mobile signal indoors), VHF well as GPS so it's very often active when inside vehicles.
I get that, but the only one of those that can provide an even close to accurate position (say within 20 metres) is GPS, isn't it?Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
