Can you check the receipt they gave for collection. Does it hint they have bought it oft you? It seems strange they can do this multiple times and get away with it.

Some years ago there was a small garage selling cars ont behalf of their owners. They paid you a "deposit" at the start and agreed the sale price it would be listed for. What the owner din't realise was he sold it for £2k to the garage. We've had a few tratter owners fall for this over the years as the garage specialised int selling them.
Hi.. got a receipt for work needing done.. Parts need with delivery back to mine and marked paid once I paid it but nothing to show for it..... So far as I was aware vehicle was ready and waiting to get delivered..

I'll reckon they'll turn the scam back and say you had it collected and now you say you don't have it ...
 
A bit small but that is the pic 'Manny' had up for:
Land Rover Discovery, 2012 (12) Black Estate.....
Looks same bar wheels and grills but would never know untill had a good look at and checked vin numbers. . If he clever enough to pinch he prob good at changing vin numbers to....

Tell the police about the new vehicle for sale. Pester them. Does anyone want to go and have a look at it? I have the ability to read the vin from the computer in it via of connector.

I have all messages to him and I offered to get it picked up once done when went quiet as he said was trying to get a courier but he said no.. He trusted his own courier only ... But if you look on Google maps same merc flat bed is sitting out back of his so courier wasn't the problem..

Print all the messages out, Google maps is out of date a week after the car goes past ... send the messages or take to your local cop shop ... pester them ...
 
What is the current situation then...

They collect car
You pay for repair
They fix car at some point

Many weeks later...
They're delaying you getting it back?

Do they still communicate with you? Have you got a key still?
 
Hi you got it spot on..
Won't answer calls or return messages..
I've sent key away to insurance with v5.
I seen today a Pete worthy is some sort of director for the garage if anyone knows him..
 
I see that garage has 246 different ads on ebay and they can't take of untill they get a few complaints and then they'll look into it... Helpful or what..

If insurance are processing it as a claim then the theft or fraud is now between them and the "garage". They will require a crime reference from the police. This formalises the loss and makes things more serious if your trying to con them. I would expect the insurance to investigate. They may not necessarily pay out. Other than turning up to the garage and searching it... Sadly there isn't much more you can do. If you have evidence on yer phone or computer then make a copy in case it fails. Photo the text messages and call time/duration info.

Upload info to the cloud if you're able, it'll be easily accessed by Plod and Insurance from there ...

If the insurance don't cover the money you paid out, you could take them to Summary Court. Might be a faff due to the location but you can still do it. Oh and report them to Tradi g Standards
