That would around about where you got your S12 from, and pretty much the same spot that the U11 was parked in when you saw it.

However, there wasn't much fuel in it when it was taken, and it was recovered Friday morning abandoned on the M62 where, no doubt, it ran out of gogo juice.

However, I unfortunately now have to pay the lovely garage that recovered it £105 for the privilege. Nice.

I have yet to see the vehicle, as it is being held pending an upcoming episode of CSI, (please can Sarah Sidle do it ) so I have no idea on the condition of it as yet. The garage has said that it appears to be just locks, "as it is an old car" so that could mean anything.

The fact that is was recovered on a motorway makes me think it had a specific destination, and wasn't robbed just to be thrashed around town by joyriders, so maybe that's a good thing, as it's most likely to not be in a bad condition (unless the twats didn't realise it had no power steering until half way thru the first corner.)

Anyway, hopefully all will be well, and thanks for the comments.

although it will cost you £105 its nice to have the feeling "they" didnt get it. really hope this garage is right with the "it just the locks" description of damage.

when the missus little motorbike got stolen/recovered, they said it was rideable. it was bearly pushable but this was a tilbury garage.

i think its a disgrace that the victim has to pay for the recovery, esp as you dont get a chance to recover it yourself.

glad you got it back though.

That`s good news Neil .

It sounds like the car was stolen to order, if it was found on the motorway. It`s a shame the scum that took it didn`t get run over by a juggernaut, after abandoning it.

I wonder if there were any cameras on the motorway, they always seem to spot you when you are speeding .

Hope the damage isn`t too bad.

Regards,
Ian.
