Landrover Defender chorred from Hants

[APC]

Excuse this for being a first post but I am still reeling from losing our works Landie the other week. Was parked overnight in our secured yard in Havant. A crowbar was used to break off the lock on the gypsy barrier. We found the tip of the bar lying on the floor by the rest of the lock, so they must have had a proper go at it first.

 

Then it was presumably hotwired and driven through our double gates which were then found down the road, still locked together. Last seen driving through a speed camera near Liphook towards London.

 

There had been a few attempted go's at it in the past where the door had been bent out and the steering column beaten up, but this was the first success.

Sorry to hear your bad news,they were obviously determined to take it.

 

I had one stolen some years ago and one of the most annoying things was how many times in the following months I went to get a tool, torch or whatever and realised it was in the Land Rover! It also had brand new BF Goodrich Trac Edge tyres on that had done about 700 miles!!

so sorry to hear that mate. where do you stand in the eyes of the law using rock-salt cartridges on intruders?

Don't get caught and aim for their arse

Bad news mate, most the landrovers around here get used for ram raids, ram the shop with a landrover then make off with the goods in a faster car.

landys are the easiest vehicles to ring. people also flog on the parts as there is always a demand. sorry for you and your loss
