---Update 20/01/2012---

The car related bits have been found,
The shell was cut into peices which were inside 2 e34 shells
Along with what the scrap guy said looked like half an engine.
it was dropped in early this morning,
guards have said that money may be reclaimed from the dealer as he didnt check vin numbers before taking the cars and didnt issue c.o.d's

Sounds like your man was being watched for a while. Bit scary.

jozi

I'd say so, scary alright. It's making me think I should be locking up all the parts I have lying around for my resto :eek:

Have to be careful what you post on forums if the stuff is of decent monetary value, never know who is reading :mad:

jozi

The parts on their own are of little value.

It's hardly worth the trouble stealing a shell, chopping it up and weighing it in! More value in moving it on for money especially since it was a painted shell ready to be built up again.

Thats whats wrong with this charming country of ours. People just don't give a fcuk. I hope the dealer gets what he deserves.

Not recovered, found, chopped up and stuffed into another shell for the sake of a few quid from a scrappy.
