STOLEN - 04 Silver VXR
Discussion
One of our customers has had is 2004 VXR stolen from his house, with the thief getting the keys by breaking in the house.
The car is a 2004 VXR Monaro, Reg No AK54 OLP. Its silver and has AP Brakes, performance pac with headers, ripshifter. Mileage around 38K. It was stolen from the Bicester area of Oxfordshire.
Please note that there is another silver 04 VXR Monaro in the same area so check the reg, dont want some innocent party getting pulled.
It also has the drivers seat back missing as the clips had broken.
If anyone is offered the car, or spots the car, please inform the police.
Thanks
Andy

no but it stops them from out running a cop on a pushbike
No such thing anymore. They'll be hiding round the corner with a speedgun waiting to send the poor unfortunate real owner a nice photo and a fine for the thieving toe-rags making their escape. But then again it won't be their fault its just that they come from a deprived background and didn't get a PS3 for christmas. Or am I just too cynical for my own good.
Hope it gets found and the damage is minimal and that the scum who do this get locked in a small room with a sex starved mountain gorrilla
Yeah, you kind of wonder what they would do with it. Surely they would have changed the plates on it already I would have suspected. Probably one thing though is that it wouldn't be long before they need fuel. How much fuel was in it? You might be able to work out service stations they would have visited if there wasn't much in it. I use to go through a phase with the old VN (which were piss easy to steal) that I would only have minimal fuel in it. Atleast then the bastards would have to fuel it up somewhere before they drove it any where.
Seems like someone went to a lot of trouble to steal this car, they had to assume the owner was in if the car was there, either that or they had been staking the house out for the owner to leave without the car, either way a lot of trouble.
Unlikely then it was oppotunist's or joy riders, far more likely it was stolen to order.
In which case given how few of these cars there are in the UK, it was either going abroad, or going to be re-plated with another car. Which makes me wonder if there has been any 04 silver VXR's written off recently which may have been acquired by someone to do a plate swap!
Not sure how easy it would be to find out, chances are its not anywhere in oxfordshire, but a call round breakers yards that specialise in these cars might shed some light, a crash damage vehicle may have been sold on.
Maybe the Police can contact DVLA or insurers to find out if a car has been written off,
Just a thought,

you mean like the 04 silver VXR that was up for sale for months from the breakers yard in the north of England for about 7k - the one missing the front and rear end. Was on ebay for ages but never made its reserve
Yeah, thats where I'd start, but remember still innocent til proven guilty !
Most of these cars that are stolen are taken straight to a container port and parked up. Most tracker devices (in particular gps ones) do not work in containers. GPS is lovely but is only good whilst you get the signal. Thats why the radio triangulation method is currently still the most used.
If its not been found yet its most likely on the way out the country. As pointed out this is too small a community. Even if they cloned it you would only need one spotted and the 'true' owner of that plate would smell a rat.

But they will work all the way there, untill the container door goes `slam` giving the bib a search area of about 30 square metres.
Don`t follow you reason on a `spotted` I always thought the idea of a ringer was to put your reg no on the stolen car.
Needless to say we are all on high alert.
