Really sorry to hear about this. Hope you get it back and sorted in time for some summer hooning. Feels like you only have one sort of luck with that car

Ian if you get it back will the police finger print it, as my prints are on the steering wheel, gear knob & bonnet etc from the night before !!!

yep - already told them that.
said if they need to get in touch with you, I'm sure you'd be fine ruling yourself out as prime suspect number 1

Yep don't think grey panels go well on a silver car!!! Did you fill water backup that night, if not then my guess is the car is somewhere local. Any update from the police

No, I didn't. but then, the warning light wasn't on yet.
You can easily get 100 miles with what was left in it. I know, I've done it.

No update

A friend of mine had this happen a while ago. They used his car for a armed robbery the biggest problem is that the dirty low life's where in your house!!

Hope you get some good news soon.

 

[bradmarsh1989]

This is awful! I am so sorry to hear that! Please let us know the good news when it's recovered soon!

Err, that's good to know Tony.

Slightly off tropic though

 

[sk93]

meeting with the loss adjuster on Monday..

Apart from doing my research on car prices, anything I should know / advice you lot can offer?

don't particularly fancy being screwed again after already having my back door smashed in... so to speak.

First settlement figure is usually pretty poor.

Get a figure in mind and stick to it.

Pay a few quid for a CAP or glass' valuation

Just get on PH, eBay and AT and print off any Z4 of same/similar spec age/mileage and use this as your bargaining tool.

Always worked for me :wink:

yeah thats it ... any good?

 

[sk93]

so.. they've caught the c**t who broke in. he's in custody tonight, and up to the wigs tomorrow.
No doubt he'll just get bailed, which is typical of our shite government.

however, he's already sold the car.... for £300 (apparently, it's not worth £500...)
He say's it's still in Nottingham city, in one piece, somewhere.
According to the fuzz, he's told them "you'll probably find it".

Not sure if that's a good thing or not...


think I'm about ready to cry
