HI Guys

Would really appreciate it if everyone could be on the look out for my stolen racepod.

Some utter scumbag stole it from outside our warehouse at 5am on Monday. As I've not been there this week and my manager is on holiday this only came to light today.

The suspects I will show you a video of when we've had time to enhance it, and we've got their registration. All caught on our CCTV (http://youtu.be/rOCpLFsPKzI) which was directly above them, and shows them leaving towing the bloody thing along the road.

For those of you that dont know what this is or looks like -




It has massive Lotus Sports stickers on the sides, and a huge www.amp3.co.uk on the side. (was on my G6 ATG plate but suspect it wont be now - was also missing rear left light cluster cover)

Theiving bds were in a dark green Diahatsu Sportrack and the reg was either C857 WVP or K857 WVP (plate yet to be sharpened so we can see 100%) or similar. Male & female suspects - male in a camoflage jacket, female looks like a blonde Waynetta Slob.

Any information etc greatfully recieved :thumbsup

Please spread this as much as possible guys, as I'm determined to find these f*ckers.

I have done a reg plate search, C857 doesn't come up as registered on anything, K857 is on an Escort estate diesel! (I know you have probably already done that)

Hope you get your trailer back!

thanks Tom. Posted as soon as i got home, and havent had a chance to sort it yet.

Yup - really hard to make out the first and last characters until we get it on to the PC and off our CCTV system.

I'll post up the CCTV footage once we get it in case anyone recognises it, as moving my race car (no MOT, no tax etc) is going to be a challange till i get a replacement one.........

Rubbish & thanks for keeping your eyes open chaps.

God knows where you'd hide one of these things as its massive!!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help with this.

Nothing to report as of yet, but hopefully we've made it as hard as possible for them to sell it on now!

Looks like there was 4 of them frown

Have you checked back if they have previously cased the joint?

Hope you catch them!

Do you have the ID number for it? It would be worth making that public too.

sorry you lost your trailer mate but going to be blunt here and this goes for all trailer owners, if that was the wheelclamp that was on the trailer at the time it was nicked then no fecking wonder. if it took the theif more than a minute to remove that then they must have been amatuers

for anyone that has a trailer and wants to keep it my advice would be to visit your local friendly caravan dealer and get a clamp that is rated at gold by solid secure (they are an independent body that assesses locking devices) if you spend any less than £100 on a clamp or hitchlock then chances are it is made of chocolate, on my caravan that is only worth £2k on a good day my clamp was £80 and hitchlock £60,

also if you can chain the trailer to something solid with a heavy chain and good quality padlock, dont make life easy for the scumbag thiefs
