FOUND!!

well this isnt fun! my car broke down last night just outside hempstead near holt in norfolk, got the dizzy cap to get it going again this morning and the car wasnt there! my gran went by at 10 last night and the car was there and was gone by 11ish this morning.
glass on the side of the road so its definatly been stolen, police and insurance going through the works now
its a 1990 red 1l, fairly distinguishable by the southern irish number plate, more or less matt red paint on the doors, quarters and rear and the roof is half polished along with the front end, had 3 12x6 superlights with p&l mini centers on the car, 1 black 12x4.5 minilight and the other 12x6 in the back with a brand new a539 on it
new halogens only fitted and 2 sealed beams in the back of the car, new hi-lo's in the box sitting in the back seat, couple of hundred £'s worth of new clothes in the back and tools in the boot (random tools and a halfords advance 150 piece kit) and a garmin satnav
if anyone sees the car or is offered any cheap parts, tools or even the clothes please give me a shout!

got the car back today, broken drivers door window, wing mirror gone too!
there was about £200 of clothes on the back seat, tools and parts in there too and all that was taken was 2 centre caps with p&l mini on em, 1 chrome dust cap, an old tobacco tin that i kept fuses and about €10 in change and 2 or 3 receipts and tickets for parking at the beach?!!! odd thieves, really dont know why thats all they took, lucky i guess!! i'v the window and mirror replaced courtesy of a very nice man in billingford
