    Does anyone recognize the van in the pics in THIS thread?? it was used to steal an opel manta off a total opel member. van is a white fiat ducato reg no 00 D ****/06 D ****/08 D ****, nobody can make the number out (including the gardai)
    van also distinctively has four large spotlights across the top of the roof. if any one sees this van, can you please take the number, and pass it on to the authorities.
    thank you to the mods for letting me put this up.;)
    sean.

    I might of made out the reg using photo enhancement, its not relly clear but I make it out as <snip>. I ran the reg on AA and it comes back as a Fiat Ducato 2.8 Diesel. Hope this helps

    I have removed the reg you posted as it could well not be related to this at all, and it doesn't seem fair to be posting it on the internet if so. Send it by PM to the OP if you want.

    Spotlights above the windscreen are a pretty distinctive feature on the van

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    excellent news on getting it back. Van and driver innocent? Must have been a tiger kidnapping.

    right basically it was a situation where the guy that took the car was sold it by a third party that didn't even own the car, so he got a van and trailer and took it thinking he'd bought it!! sadly the car wasn't recovered before he'd cut the roof of it, but the parts of the car have all been returned and the owner has been compensated for the roof, so he's a happy bunny again........ :D
    so there youse go. now youse know as much as i do, lol!
