Great news. Let's hope the perps get a long prison sentence.

Seems to be a big thing in ingerland, if caught here a mobility scooter would be on the xmas list.

Probably a jolly good ticking off Ral and told not to do it again.

If it was your van would you want it back ? .

 

[Robmac]

If it was your van would you want t it back .

Depends if they'd used the loo or not Bazz.

£100 fine 6 points and 200 hours community service would be my guess, we need to build more prisons in this country, the scrotes know there is virtually nowhere to puth them.

[trevskoda]

Over here we do a special operation when catching them.

Yes I would

 

[Pudsey Bear]

If it had only been stolen and not abused why not.

 

[trevskoda]

Most cars etc nicked here are filled with sh one t and no way would you want it back, no idea why they do this, maybe scared stiff.

I definitely would, as I have done a lot of changes to it to make it work for us, besides they don’t steal them to trash them, they are stolen to sell on with new identity,
So they need them to be in good nick

What would happen if the insurers have paid out.
1 would you pay them back and keep your "no claims" or would the premium hike up next time ?
2 could yo simply say "no I keep the cash"
3 what about the contents..may be worth £1,000 ?
(Probably all gone anyway)

 

[RichardHelen262]

Once the insurance has paid out it is theirs,
They would let you buy it back, otherwise it would end up at a salvage auction

 

[jagmanx]

I presume the salvage auction value would be considerably less than the payout ?
So if you wanted it back room for negatiation ?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

They used to nick Transit MoHos for the engines and gearboxes, they put a chain around them to a tree and floor them in reverse, rubber engine mounts can't take it so out they come., not sure if that'd work on a transverse engine or not.

Is this a business proposal you're suggesting, Kev?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I have mates in the police and some of the tales that certain people who have caravans get up to would make you worry at night.

 

[mariesnowgoose]

I can well imagine, Ral.

Very active in the North East. On the thievery front, that is.

Happened to me once, but with a caravan. It turned up 18 months later at a settled traveller's house only 5 miles away. I went there with the police to identify it; it had some unique marks on the interior. There were 2 other vans and the police took them all into storage with the insurance company paying the fees.
I contacted the insurance with a view to buyback but they basically blanked me. I always reckoned it cost the insurance more in fees than the van was worth. Bonkers!
