Sad to see this, it’s all over my Facebook feed.

I have to say though, I was taking my Dog to the Vets the Saturday before last, it was late at about 16:30.
That Mk2 was sat on its own outside Motorscope even then. I have sympathy for its owner, but you really do Not want to be leaving a car like that outside unattended on an industrial estate!

Especially when the fun fair has just arrived in town........

Just saying.....

I don't see what more they could do about a brazen theft such as this ? Bollards up to hinder ram raids, substantial gate/fence (presumably the one they broke through)
Looks like cctv, backed up by times quoted in reports

Likely the car you saw was left for collection ? Hopefully by the legitimate owner ! No options remain if they're away on an event and the car is wanted.
I see someone else has posted a description on PH, quite a spec.

It was the same Car I saw that was stolen from the same place two weeks later.
It was parked out front, behind where the 206 is in the google image. Sadly just begging to be trailered away, no fences or barriers and on an almost deserted Industrial estate.

Aaah ! You put "that Mk 2" And I assumed you were referring to one in the pic I've seen on Effbuk of the front with Mk II's parked.
I can imagine it's very quiet around there at that time of night.

Must be Pock's posted it on Facebook. Really pleased, looks like the general public came up trumps.
