Right it has been stolen within the last two days we belive it to have been last night.

The car itself has the standard steering lock engaged, along with a crook lock and another steering lock on his steering wheel one of the ones you have to snap the whole steering system to move. It has 3 different types of locking wheel nut as well. So whoever has knicked it would have a trouble getting it anywhere.

We belived they have towed it or pushed it onto a truck. it was in his back garden and it looks like they came through a fence.

He has nice Chrome dished superlights all round, and at the front he has black sportspack arches while at the back it still has the standard plastic ones.

It has a full roll cage in white and crystal halogen headlights.

As with all mini's its a pride and joy and now it has been taken away from him!

It was stolen from the Southend area in Essex near southend airport. its a bit hard to miss it, it also has a center exit single exhaust so it has a nice sound to it.

Please if you have any info or have seen it please come forward and help out a fellow mini lover/owner.

His dads a police officer so they chose the wrong person to steal from really but please help us out here are some pics of it!!

Sorry to hear about the loss... but anything distinctive body wise would be a help... rust spots, shopping trolley dents small things which may get unnoticed.

Unless the thieving scum is actually reading this....

[slegersmini]

nope it was actually really clean... it has dodgy wiring but there is no well of telling that from the outside is there lol!

errm the only things i can think of are all the different wheel nuts, the black arches with the rear ones being standard plastic ones and the front being sportspacks in black...

loads of chrome bits and bobs in it an aftermarket dash... and the chrome allys... but other than that noo not rele i will gt some more pics off him and put them on here!

I saw a BRG Cooper parked in Leicester last week, It's a bit far from where you've mentioned, but I'll keep an eye out for it just encase, you never know!

They think it was stolen last night- not last week....


Will keep my eyes peeled, we've had minis stolen in my family before, it's heartbreaking. Sadly it's probably already being stripped down to parts. But you never know! Good luck finding it and keep us posted.

Ooh well I do hope you find her/him then.

I really do feel sorry for your mate, if anything ever happened to mine, I would hunt down the person and kick their ass, no joke, so just a warning to all you thugs and chavs that take fun in this kind of stuff to fuel their crack addiction, and think they are hard by playing gansta' sh*t on their phones and wearing their jean around their ankles, and wearing their caps on the back of their head and walking like they have sh*t themselves. SO LISTEN UP ALL YOU CHAVVY TW*TS, WATCH YOUR BACKS!!

Sorry for the rant.

I'm nice really.

Cheers.

Hi, I kind of new round her but I know just how you feel! My mini got raped away by SCUM too!!

It has now been 3 weeks since my mk1 went missing. We have no new leads but we are currently concentrating a lot of our efforts around the Bristol area as that was the last positively identified sighting. The police have told me not to give out too much information over the various mini forums but this is what I can tell you.
We have good reason the suspect that this was not a professionally carried out job as the young people who took it drove it away, at lest 30 miles. There was too much damage done to the door and rear side window.
Right from the start we have created a high level campaign notifying lots of mini and classic car organizations. All we can hope is, whoever took the car has it safe in the garage somewhere and has not striped it down for parts. If they think they can sell the bits on Ebay then they are gravely mistaken as I have a lot of good friend finely combing it with intense detail. And there is my reward add too! The person that has taken ths car now has a price on his head for £3,000!
Please if you know this person ask yourself this... Is he a TRUE mini person? No real mini fan would ever do this to one of his own kind as we all have the greatest respect for one another.
Please don’t let the search for my mini go cold. There is a massive reward out for the scum who took my mini.

I have had this Mini for 22 years. My mum and dad bought her for me for 19th birthday from my uncle (first owner.) who used to live opposite us This Mini means the world to me as it was my very first car and I learnt to drive in her.
But here is the worst part. She was stolen from me on my birthday 2 June!!!!! There no words to describe my feelings for her, except HEARTBROKEN. The only words that I can communicate, are for the person responsible for her taking may baby..... Moderator will not allow them but I hope that you are all thinking them.
You cant put a price on memories, but to me this car is priceless so I am putting every last penny that I have to get her back.
Please help in any way that you can. We need the keep the pressure on the people who stole my baby!
