my bitsa 88 was nicked

amghome@ virginmedia.com · Apr 28, 2019

Hi my Landry HAX246L was stolen one night this week from bond road Southampton. It had my rotovator in it which was much prised too. It’s an 88, with defender box, disco engine and rr classic axles. Really tatty and green with a black roof rack, and Ali plate on the bonnet. Hope someone knows something.

Sorry to hear that, did you post to the Landywatch Facebook group? Might be worthwhile doing if you are on Facebook

Oh dear, sorry for your loss

Sorry to hear about this. Hope your Landy is found safely and those responsible are caught.

Thanks. It is very distinctive, because it’s sooooo tatty. The roof rack with 5he 8ntegral fold down ladder and 5he blue and red painted towball are unique. I am equally upset about the rotovator in the back which is a collectors item. As a Landy it was not great, I am baffled why anyone would want to nick it, as nothin* on it was very nice!

Spare parts possibly? They strip down easily compared to the modern ****e and the thieves just flog it hither and thither.

OP tells me his Landy has been recovered, good news for a change.

amghome@ virginmedia.com · May 3, 2019

Yes thanks for everyone’s help. Driven half a mile then parked for a week. I don’t know the state it’s in yet. Forensics are looking at it.

Good news, hope it's not been abused too much. Prob won't look any worse though!

doriz · May 3, 2019

This made me laugh looking at the original pictures

It's either been parked up ter see if it's collected because it's got a tracker fitted...

or broke'd down.

Agree with the tracker check, standard stuff these days. Sounds like a big win, they probably haven't touched it

I’m okay thanks, I’ve got a full stock of rustyseriescillin.

Glad it’s been found.

The tracker would be a good buy.
