davejulie Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Premium 650 uff STOLEN overnight 14th August 2018 from Bramcote Main Caravan storage, Nr Coventry. PLEASE SHARE: Hugely distinctive, rare and recognisable. Any information / sightings please contact me. I’m guessing it will be heading for Dover, Liverpool or Holyhead for a ferry. Only a handful in the U. K. Unique damage: Has a cracked front black window panel. Update @ 12:38 15th August. CCTV shows four guys carry bolt cutters and equipment try to enter storage site, ending up ram-raiding barriers to get in. The bolt cut my hitch lock, removed my number plate (both discarded), they then broke into a large transit van stored on site, disable trackers, steering lock, removed fuel cap etc. They turned down all the other cctv cameras, then towed the stolen Transit and Van through a second gate, before exiting through the ram raided gates. It was a planned targeted theft. Quote 2003 Focus 1. 6 petrol pulling 'big Jim', a 1993 swift minuette diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea&Sand Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Sorry to ear your van has been stolen davejulie, hope the insurance fully recovers your costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderDave Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) My guess would be tucked up as they attract a certain community and on a site near where it was stolen as they would not tow to far at night as it draws attention keep it under cover till the heat goes off before moving it . I know when they stole my mates caravan the police told him the same and he found it hidden on a local site and police escorted him on the site to get it back .

Dave I see there are two illegal travellers sites 20 minutes drive away perhaps some one from the local drone club could give them a look. No need to overfly as the travellers use them for shooting practice. A caravan that size will be parked in the open to test reaction. I would not want it back.

davejulie Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's not my van, I couldn't afford something like that! Lol. Good advice about the traveller sites being so close. It may be worth a shot. I would be unsure if I would want it back either Quote 2003 Focus 1. 6 petrol pulling 'big Jim', a 1993 swift minuette diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montymal53 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 ?theiving scum! Im guessing no further news?! Bit of a worry though as our van is stored there (thankfully its not a Hobby) but evenso sounds like if they want something they will get it. I was under the impression that the storage gates were un-openable after a set time at night?! . ..and CASSOA Gold!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
