A vehicle seen in suspicious circumstances around the time of the theft was a 2.0 litre Silver/Gray Vauxhall Omega P264 NLG. Disturbed on drive of neighbouring farm. Police have got this number. I am also aware of an Omega beibg used to steal a Bailey Ranger from Oswaldwhitle on 5th Novemeber 2009. Been in touch with the victims of that theft and they have CCTV.  The stills are great but no offenders caught.  I guess these are the same people who took my van.

Hi,

ASK Mid says that the car is a Vauxhall Corsa!

As was said on page one, tenth posting. Probably cloned

Thanks for pointing out my error.....

If I had read that I would not have risked getting "banged up" under the Data Protection laws.

I think having your caravan stolen is a reasonable cause for checking out a registration plate don't you? If is an offence to steal a caravan in the first place.

Absolutely NOT!!! two wrongs do not make a right, I don't care how strongly one feels about the theft of property, that is no excuse to use a database for which there is an express condition of use and and it was ignored. Wrong wrong wrong

Where will that end? "Oh I really want a caravan so bad, my family really needs a holiday, so even though I musn't steal one, my needs are greater than theirs so I will steal one"? And the behaviour of posting the whole thing here opens the webmasters to prosecution too!

To be honest, if your van's been gone over a week, I doubt they'll find it. Ours was found within 4 hours of being stolen & I only had that back because I had no option & lucky for us, the filthy scumbagsd hadn't had time to get into ours.

Had it been gone as long as yours has, IF we were made to accept it back, it'd have been traded in straight away. I wouldn't want it back after they've had it over a week.

Don't worry about the lectures over the number plate, they've no idea what it's like to have a caravan stolen from your home, the thought of it after 2 1/2 years have passed still makes me feel dirty.

I'd stick a claim in on the insurance & provided you're with the right cover, take the new for old payout & let them dispose of yours if they find it. Your van's 2007 so you're still within the 3 year new for old for another month at least.

Back in the mid-80's my parents had their van stolen... it was recovered and returned to them!

As it didn't have a built-in toilet, they used the shower tray!

My poor mum had to clean that. The van was traded in the next day.

Mark.

Hi,

This database is available on the web for goodness sake....do you really think that the insurers gives a stuff who looks at the details...all it tells you is that the car is insured, not the owner, where they live or any personal details.

I wonder how many folk have been locked up for "asking MID?"

I rest my case.

Mr UM
