Went to pick her up with a truck yesterday… and she's GONE
![:|](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/mellow.png)
Rang the police; they don't have her. They suggested the council but they don't have her. She suggested Highways something-or-other, so they're checking for me…
Anyone know what happens if Highways have it?
Doesn't rain but it pours, eh?

In my experience (a long time ago) if the council have taken it, you'll not see it again.
If its definitely not the council then its been stolen, probably for the parts.

Or have a drive past Nook Lane recovery on Haslingden Old Rd (left @ Brittania pub and it's on your right heading towards Haslingden) they may have it.

Went up there today to do a bit of mooching: had a look at a few scrappers and dismantlers on the way - no luck.
Knocked on a door and a woman came out, saying she noticed the car had gone, then from round the back some young chavs came, holding the back registration plate! (which they'd 'found') They suggested the local gypseys took it - there's a few in the area!!
It was exactly as I thought, and as you suggested, Kav. If that is the case, which it probably is, it will be a coke can by now; they don't mess about.
Police are coming round tonight at 8 as i've reported it stolen, i'll let you know how it goes…

Don't want to speak out of turn but have you PM'd Mr Chairman. PM me where you 'know it is'?? I'll go playing the numpty, I've got a Mk1 and it might need some bits 8O Rogue Traders without the bike![]()
if you find it, it may be easier to offer ?50 and buy the whole car back. saves a shed load of hastle. and apart from the obvious (?50 down) you would have learnt a valuable lesson.
really gutted for you tho mate.

Sorry mate, I don't understand you…
I don't know where it is :dontknow:
And who's the Chairman, and why should I PM him? lol
Bobby has just been, it was a PCSO (Community Support). I just gave him all the details - from the crash on Saturday to having a mooch and recovering the reg plate today.
Said they'd get back to me when they get any further with it.
Oh, and, he gave me a number to report it as stolen to the DVLA.
What a bloody farse this is turning out to be, eh.
another one of life's many obstacles…
Just get fed up of jumping don't you

just a quik thought mate, might be worth asking the pub(know your not friendly with them) and the local businesses if they have cctv?, may have caught something? ie pick up truck reg, name on side…
Tom :wink:
Very true mate, might see if that factory we passed in the dip has CCTV.
However I doubt the pub will be willing to help :dontknow:
Cheers though, it's a good idea

1. 4 days
2. Couldn't afford to move it immediately. I don't have any friends with a tow truck, sadly.
And I don't want to lose my years no claims mate! They're soo soo valuable at my age!

So i'm not claiming it on the insurance. It's just been a very expensive few weeks of motoring
