Sorry to hear, Maybe if you put some pictures up of the car.

I presume you have contacted the police and put leaflets up around your area.

The question im asking is how do the thieves know were all these mini are located?
Do they just drive about looking, follow you home, have you used a certain garage or are they using eBay to sell parts/buy parts to get your address from the sales?
I had my everyday car stolen at the start of the year in a house burglary, its the worst feeling ever, cant imagine what losing my mini would feel like!

it amazes me how many daily driven classic mini's don't have any form of security on them, there are a few around by where we live and they are just left on the driveways with little or no protection whatsoever.............i'd be damned if i left mine outside without any security!!

Possibly a lot of these are being spotted at shows and targeted/stolen to order. :(

Hope you get it back . Will keep my eyes open.

I wont even leave mine outside now at all. Goes straight back in the garage when I've used it. I live in a fairly quiet cul-de-sac with very little traffic but I do worry a little when I see the 'scrap collectors' driving round when I have my garage open! Mines not alarmed at the moment but will be by the time it's back on the road but is kept in a locked garage and I park my daily (which is alarmed/immobilised) right up to the door.
