Another innocent victim of targeted Land Rover theft in South Yorkshire.


Our long-standing family member RST ???? was stolen from Struan Road in the Nether Edge area of Sheffield on Friday Nov 2nd at about 8.30pm after the house was done-over by apparently professional thieves.


Landy is all green with weathered paint job, riding on green 8-spokes with General SAG cross-plies and parabolic springs. Sills below the doors have been removed and rear sliding windows are silver and off-centre in the panel. Front bumper has towing ring and towing hitch, rear cross-member has nato hitch. Engine is military 'duck-egg' green with bright red fan.


Any info to help find the old lady can be sent to me at landy@q-bert.co.uk, it would be greatly appreciated, as would any tips on where else to post info/ advice on what to do if 4x4/land rover is stolen.

Gutted for you mate, I am in chesterfield so will keep an eye out for you. Have you got a pic as well?
 
Landy recovered about 10 days after being stolen, dumped about a mile from the scene of theft, apparently unharmed (TBC). Still waiting for the insurance to let us have it back though......

It's great news that your your landy turned up.

However be prepared to go to war with the insurance company, given a chance they will screw you, one way or another.

My advice is to retake possession of your property straight away, go to where ever it's being stored and demand it's return or you could find that it's been "disposed of" and you get offered a few hundred quid by the tertiary thieves that insurance companies are.

Please believe me you are not out of the woods yet, I know of more than one person (me) who's suffered at the ****ty end of this particular stick.
 
we also suffered this, had a van nicked and they wanted 400 to release it, next time it got nicked we just recovered it ourself
