I have chased (for the 3rd time) for some follow up on this incident, nobody ever calls me back, and I have discovered the following:

I have been told that the Blue Metro was sold two weeks before the incident for cash! The name the new owner gave is one known to BiB. Some articles were found in the abandoned blue metro that also linked (through Intel) to the same person. BiB wouldnt tell me any more except to say that two other calls were phoned in, one describing a blue metro driving along suspiciously on three wheels and a second call saying a blue metro had been abondoned in their road and the driver was spotted running away. Again, three wheels. BiB linked them up and paid a visit to the known suspect's house only to find him not there. Still no sign of him or they havent been back, not sure on this.

All of this has been passed on to the victims for onward transmission to their insurance co, together with the correct index number for the car. The victims have heard NOTHING from the Police.

Now, in my view, there is pretty much 0% chance of a conviction as the little scrote will simply deny having been driving the car and will say that anything found in the car was obviously there due to him owning the car! No convictions, but at least the BiB were doing something behind the scenes, later that night and possibly the day after.

I understand where and why we cant be told everything, but surely a little communication and PR wouldn't go amiss when MOP help out?

So... and to avoid confusion, I apologise if I came down too hard on the BiB as a whole, but still think the whole incident and lack of immediate action will mean that the little sh1t gets off scot free!!!! banghead
