Friend has his car stolen tonight from a prospected buyer. Thief asked for a test drive and before mate could walk round to the driver side he drove away leaving my mate standing.

If anyone sees it please pm me or bump the thread. Cheers.

Car details.

Fully aware that it will be in parts in a barn but might aswell try.

Where?

[StealthSteve]

Need location and a pic.

Plaster it over Facebook - owners clubs, "cruise" pages, and there are specific stolen pages.

Good luck!

Pardon my French but the fella that did that is an absolute ! Are there many CCTV cameras around? Hope he gets the car back.

Sorry posted the OP just before I headed out the other night.

Car was stolen from east end of Glasgow at approx 4pm Sat evening. I do have pics but i am posting from my phone and cannot load them.

Car has been found!


Police found it in Bishopbriggs full of cider cans, pills and dents.


Is it just me or is this unusually brazen method of theft just for a joy ride?

No offence to your mate but instead of this being brazen, I would say its actually the lowest risk theft for the tea-leaf.
He gets away with the car and the keys and realistically would be able to dump it and run if caught up with by the police.
If the theft hadn't worked out, your mate would either have told him to p off or maybe wouldn't actually have twigged that he had been planning to steal it.

How did the guy contact him to test drive the car? Any telephone numbers? Although probably an unregistered PAYG SIM.

Comes back to the old question, if your car is pinched do you want it back or prefer it to be written off by insurance co after it has been ragged.
