He should get banged up for 12 months as well for assisting a crime. Sorry for your troubles.

Absolute bastar*s. I have an E30 and if anyone ****ed with it I'd be pissed.

Why would someone steal an empty E30 shell for scrap. Hardly worth the effort of loading it on a trailer, cutting it up, and putting inside other cars. Not to mention the risk, just for scrap value? They're not that heavy.

Did the owner piss someone off or have a beef with anyone? If they were just ordinary thieves I doubt they would be hauling around a car transporter, and pushing an empty shell onto it, not exactly inconspicuous.

Don't really know, that was thrown around on E30owners as well. Other reason might be that they knew there was a freshly painted car there but thought it would have been complete.

Do, there's a lot of knowledgeable people on there. I've made quite a few friends through it and got to know many more good people. Just be prepared to show of your E30
