Stolen Mini

Im from leamington ill keep my eyes well peeled for you

Danny

and on your own mate, theyre being taken off locked up drives, garages, whoever it is, theyre doing their homework

i will keep an eye out!

I cant do anything bud , but good luck in getting it back

hope you get your car back soon. as you have said there seems to be a lot of this going on now.

Have a look on ebay theres someone in the stafford area selling just parts but seems to break a lot of 'good' minis but to be honest doesn't seem to know that much about them?

I think its time we start asking questions. It's been said before; we are causing this ourselves. If we continue to buy parts without asking questions, we're going to perpetuate the "Black Market" for parts.

I think I'll have to have a few beers and set up a thread. Maybe we should have a network of "known breakers" on ebay. The same thing has been happening in the scrap trade, and this is being combatted by the issue of licenses etc.
I know this sounds drastic, but I'd hate to have my Mini stolen!

Retaliation!

bloody nightmare

Sounds like this is unfortunately a good idea but the thing is just how and were would this be done .

nothing worse than having something you've spent ages working on nicked, hope you get it back soon

theres quite a few dodgy traders in staffs, i know its more expensive but i'm only buying my bits from minispares, mini mine and hudderfield mini spares just to be on the safe side

unfortunately there doesnt seem to be any way of regulating sellers on ebay, if one of us had a part we no longer needed we wouldnt be able to sell it, shitty situation

Putting up flyers tonight, offering

£1,000 reward for its safe return no questions asked
