From Landywatch (sadly the 100th reported stolen vehicle on that medium :( ). Stolen from Boroughbridge, North Yorks.

Had my red Defender 90 300 TDI stolen on the 2/5/2012. Taken from our yard at about 3:30pm.
It had a complete rebuild about 5 years ago, so was in pretty good condition.
It was not a standard Land Rover red. It was a bit brighter VW red. I know it has probably been stripped down now, but any help would be appreciated.
The pictures were taken just after the rebuild. It was not quite as clean as that when it was stolen. In fact it was blathered in mud. Well it is a Land Rover after all

No info provided yet on what security was employed.

Owner of this truck advises the following security was in place.....

It had a home made immobiliser that was fitted by an auto electrician friend. There was a hidden switch that killed all power. There was also a relay that was linked into the brake lights. This required the brake pedal to be press at the same time as turning the ignition key to turn the starter over.

As an aside (and I think it's the same bloke on the farming forum that BasilSeal has flagged up in his North Yorks Heads up post)

Just found out that 2 more Defenders were stolen from a village near here last night. A black 90 County station wagon and a silver 110.

Yes PM, i think it is the same guy, he was advised to post details on landy watch, it's a tidy truck, real shame for the poor bloke.
