Has any 'stolen car' thread...

[rehab71]

... helped find a stolen car/secure a conviction?

[djdestiny]

I remember a drift spec Impreza got found after huge internet presence and multiple sightings reported on the M1/M25 with someone even getting a video of it being driven by the thieves

Yes, that time attack Subaru a few years ago would be one that springs to mind.

Yeah bagsys drift subaru. That wasnt a stolen car thread though, that got so much publicity and made it onto the BBC news because his team mate used to be in a boy band or something.

eta. A mate over facebook managed to recover his rs focus after its picture was pushed around, it was quite a distinctive car though.

Anyone remember the US forum thread about the guy whose car was stolen by a thief with a rather identifiable deformity - "lobster claw boy" or something? More info here:

That thread introduced me to the phrase 'two for pink, one for stink'.

Not a forum but Facebook yes.... Quite recently an ST from Essex.

I think the stolen car thread on here helped get my dad's BMW back this time last year...

It was left parked up in Erith and apparently there was somebody calling the police three times a day for 3 days about it definatly being a stolen car (numberplate and stolen reference was only posed on here)

I had a rare older jetski stolen and got it back after I posted on all the forums and posted it on Ebay etc

It made it impossible to sell and was found in the thief's back garden following a tip off.

Ah, forgot about that one

A rather nice BMW in Aberdeen had a thread on here, not sure it was that key to being found but am fairly sure it did help.

Good to know some get found.
