Did anyone watch this ? I only caught the last few minutes, it looked an interesting program.
I saw mention of a motorhome having its steering wheel cut up to get a lock off and then a container raid which was stuffed full of cut up cars, inc an Audi R8 GT, plus electric battery’s, which apparently are extremely hazardous.

Yes came across it, the theives had cut through the steering wheel not the lock! What a mess, but the guys driving trying to chase his motorhome down was dangerous to others I'm surprised they used footage.

It's a shame that they didn't say what happened to the people who stole it!

Nice to see the bloke on there again tracking the Audi SQ8. I liked his E39 M5 smile I watch his YT channel, but he's always backed up with videos.


Also - I had to hunt the show down as it was called. Trace, Track, Get My Car Back.
It says that is was shown in October, but I haven't seen it before.

I saw this and thought it might be interesting, but also feared it might be tripe.

I downloaded episode 1 of series 1 to watch 3 guys chasing a Land Rover Discovery Sport across London who came across very walty... and the guy with the M5 tracking down an stolen excavator, which he eventually found in back garden and he was stood there explaining how he couldn't work out they got it behind the fence... and there must be a secret entrance... all of the time the *hinges* on the *gates* literally behind the excavator are clearly visible in the back of shot.

I delete episode 2.

I was half expecting it to say he'd been done for dangerous driving.
