1.How long did you leave it there?
2. why?
im confused have you no mates who could have towed it to your house?
Well look on the bright side i can assume you where 3rd party fire and theft???
you might get more for it than it was worth smashed up- every cloud has a silver lining
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

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

i would recommend a call around as many breakers as poss, asking them for a full interior, and a bonnet. colour not bothered. makes sure they know that you have lots of money (explain how you are having trouble getting one for under ?400), and need it asap and leave it with them. someone will contact you if they thinkthey can make a couple of hundred quid out of you.
best of luck mate

I'm just starting to speak to a few contacts that I have in the area.
What was the registration?
Can I ask firstly, was the car taxed and insured?
If I get anywhere I'll let you know.

Really am gutted for you that all this has happened but a claim is the easiest way to sort it all out, it just depends if you told the PCSO the car was damaged pre theft. :dontknow:

Just claim it on the insurance as an undamaged car. Surely the cost of the car and all this running around is more than the difference in ? that 1 years NCB will make.

Crash was before the theft though, that means all he can do is claim for the theft of the post-accident, pre-theft condition, which will probably be less than his excess. Trying to claim for pre-accident condition (especially since its been made public, here) will be folly.
