Just had the following from Debbie Stott :-


Hi all,

Sadly my Caterham was stolen Saturday which is really upsetting.

To all of you in Ingatestone, if you saw it being driven yesterday, it wasn't me driving so please would you let me know so I can give details to the police.

Thanks.

I was obviously typing the above when rubystone post the same info...

Please help Debbie get her beloved 7 back - it has been part of Debbie for as long as I have known her - and I've known her more years than I care to mention...

Flood the internet with this info - picture and reg number.
Hopefully it will make the 7 too hot for anyone, other than Debbie, to handle!

Steve

As per the piccy, it is a Red and Ali - with a Crossflow engine.

Please, everyone, do what you can to help locate it!

Does she know what time it was taken, approximately? There is CCTV on the high street, but presumably that's been/being checked?

It was taken around 10:00pm
The police are involved, so I hope they have checked any local CCTV.
But I'll let Debs know.

Just copied this from L7C

It seems there may have been a sighting yesterday Monday 28-Mar-16. approx 13.45. A friendly biker contacted me saying a car the same as mine or indeed mine was on a Yellow flatbed truck with red / orange writing all over it - 24 hour breakdown service etc. It turned off the A127 went underneath it and turned onto the A130 towards Canvey Island. (needless to say I have driven round in many circles there today). It could have of course branched off north towards Chelmsford, A12, Harwich, Suffolk, Norfolk. Does anyone know a recovery company with that livery? Did anyone see it elsewhere? Please pass on. You have all done an amazing job, can't thank you enough. Oh and of course if it was another car that looks the same, please let us know:-) Got back tonight and car has gone please keep an eye out for Red and Ali crossflow EHJ150P. Absolutely gutted - See more at: http://www.lotus7.club/forum/chitchat/help-caterha...

Hope Debbie gets her car back soon

Well done Steve (Eugene) if your post hadn't been here it wouldn't have got copied to the Caterham & Lotus Owners Group FB site.

Arnie is an absolute star for finding the car.

Really so pleased that everyone has come together on this and achieved the magic result.

Funny thing is the police still havn't told Debs!!
