Didn't realise they were also into discoveries. Wouldn't have thought they were worth enough!
 
If mine is anything to go by, I'd restrict the search to a 10 mile radius and follow the trail of oil.....

On reflection, that was a bit thoughtless of me... having had items stolen before it's pretty upsetting.... sorry!

You would be the first to apologise on here!! Someone did mention that they thought it unlikely to be an organised theft for the sale of the items from the vehicle - I think otherwise - no sign of it yet or so I have herd! Do know what is meant thought - theft is not nice for anyone concerned!!

Well, I try to adopt the "don't do unto others and you would not want done to you" philosophy, but sometimes having the craic is just too tempting!

You know, I'd not be surprised if D2's will start to be targeted - there are a large number still out there and owners keen to keep them on the road and in good condition (I count myself in that category). I appreciate they are not as "un-bolt-able" as 90's and 110's, and perhaps have slightly better factor fit defences, but when you consider the number of "common" faults associated with bolt-on components (PAS Box, Air Suspension components, engine ancillaries, headlights etc) I'd guess there is value in any half decent vehicle once stripped and sold via Facebook and the like. Also, think about the value / cost of a decent interior - many will have been worn out or carry tidelines over the fabric / leather from the inevitable leaks, so a decent interior, seats etc would be simple to extract and sell on......

All very desirable and easy to get rid of ! Good point mind tou
 
Just rely on the fact that on any given day any or all of the following will apply: Problem with immobiliser, fuel pump broken, fuel filter gummed-up, head gasket failure, xyz switch means thief can't get a gear, PAS pump failure meaning you can't turn the wheel, rear air suspension will have deflated, it will have rusted and the rear chassis will have dropped off, it will have just rained meaning the inside will be under 3 ft of water and the electrics will have failed,.......
