Our beloved Rover Neon was nicked in Redland, Bristol last night (15th).

Distinguishing features:
No bonnet badge (gone since pics taken).
Replacement front grille with Austin badge.
Broken aerial.
Few dings, especially in boot.
"Regal" dealer sticker on back would be a bugger to remove cleanly (I've tried!).
Still got original steel wheels with hubcaps.
~27800 miles

Not hopeful tho as she had a steering lock & a flat battery (!) so I assume she's been towed by pros.

Just talked my partner into letting me keep her post-baby too

NOOOO IVE SEEN THIS ONE ABOUT!!!!!!! CANT BELIEVE THIS !!!!!! im so sorry for you ill keep an eye out im not too far

[thegwil]

Cheers for the support. You guys'll understand how heartbraking this is; no other car can put a smile on your face like a mini can. Dunno when we'll be able to justify getting another one..

Looks like it was a planned job seeing as the batt was flat so not too hopeful about seeing her again.
Sucks, all I can say is if you've got to park on the road try to get between other cars; we had a driveway either side so it would've been easy to get a towtruck in.

If you get a bait car together I'll be up for sitting on a nearby roof with a gattling gun.
