A Stolen Car - Recovered!

thanks mals, im so happy about this its unreal, the garda's words on the phone were it was "recovered undamaged", my friend who saw it says that it appears to have be quite clean and all, so lets hope they did some work on the engine too... the rumour is it was recovered after a garage was raided for handling stolen cars, along with a few cigarettes and booze and stuff, out of control i tell ya

Feeling happy for you BN, get some photos up when you get her back - I've heard of one or two cases like this, a 'classic' gets nicked and a lot of money spent on it before it's recovered!

Its nice to hear that someone actually gets their stolen car back once in a while as usually once its gone, its either ragged to death and you would not want what is left of it back or it dissapears never to be seen again.

I had the opposite experience. Last time I sold a car I had the police round 2 days later saying it had been found written off, luckily I had sent off the V5 to cover myself.
It was however a non-renault. How I laughed!! |
