Apologies to the Pea Roast Police just in case, I did check...

However...

Really? Seems a bit far fetched to me...

It's totally thrown me...

I mean, owner drives in puddle - bails out. Car is left for a period of time awaiting recovery, fine that I understand.

But...

Car is left for an extended period of time and it's then stripped to literally a carcase, including cutting off the roof, quarter and front end and yet nobody notices or reports it?

Plus, who would take that risk... if you were out to get parts, you'd surely hoick it onto a covered wagon and make off, strip it at your leisure and then make what's left disappear? You wouldn't for example, return the remains to the scene unless it was done as a two fingered salute?

But then others have reported it being stripped in situ over a period of time... surely not, surely even as the owner and having informed the insurer, you'd still be eager to get it recovered asap?

The extent of the stripping seems a bit far fetched for the roadside, ok so things come apart quick but we're taking a squad, lifting gear, cutting gear and a vehicle big enough to cart away the parts and yet nobody noticed and reported it.

Ahm oot!
