Thanks for the words guys, car stupidly wasn't insured. I just transfered the policy over to the new car.
Even if it is recovered it's going to be well and truly done for as Ben said it wasn't even flatbedded so goodbye gearbox and it's forever going to be known as a stolen/recovered. Not to mention what valuable bits they have ripped out. It's recovery back to my house had been booked for this Saturday. They were determined as there was smashed glass from my car at the scene.
I'd pay good money to find the people who did it. Don't know how I'll sleep tonight as this has consumed me all day, missed work etc...
Police have been around Bens and coming to my house tomorrow.

Yeah that's one of the most horrible things. They could be doing anything to it and just ruining all the hard work and money I have poured into it. I already know they have toed it in a way that destroys the box etc so they aren't professional in any sense

Amar, I have no more words sufficient to express my sympathy for your truly appalling streak of automotive luck.
Carry one this way and you'll have enough material to write a book.
Here's to a speedy collaring of the thicko's who did this. I'm betting they're local and if your car was trailered it could well be nearby.

Nick that's my second laugh of today, first one was when I acidently sent a message saying 'someone stole my cat' when I meant to write car. Enough material to write a book

I've always wanted to write a novel to, maybe even a film?

I'll post whatever information I can, I had to think twice about posting this but thought it was important the gang knew encase anyone saw something/got offered any parts. Lets hope we can corner them.

I wouldnt give up hope on it. People dont travel miles and miles to steal cars, its just not practical, and they would have had to get it out of park to move it realistically at all, so its good for '30 miles and 30mph' which I guess is the distance the box can run without any cooling from the engine before the fluid gets too hot. With this in mind, the damage to the box from (im guessing) towing it behind something for not very far is probably not bad.

Broken glass is good too - Its way easier to replace a piece of glass, than to try and repair and repaint a crow-barred open drivers door in a special order paint (this is speaking from experience)

Stolen / Recovered flags only affect resale value, but as you want to keep it, thats not an issue, and the good thing about your unique situation is that its stolen, but you know they cant be ragging the ar5e off it as it doesnt drive.... - Thats usually the concern when your pride and joy is out of sight....

I hope that you track it down, and appreciate as its a very fresh police matter there may be details you cant (and shouldnt) share on here - but I truely hope she shows up soon in one piece...

Who knows....a relative may be taking you for a ride and you end up being featured on (a UK version of) 'Overhauled' with a brand new S8 lambo engine, 8-pot RS brakes and a set of coilovers!

Wishful thinking?!

Hope you get it back soon

Oli
