[johnl]

Gutted for you mate. Any ideas on who did it?

[G.TERI.E]

unbeliveable(shock)

sorry for your loss, hope you get the scums who did it.

[pajero1]

yup i know the scumbag who did it, needless to say he is going to meet my local bobby tonight lol

[Ian T]

Hopefully you can extort the money out of him.

Sorry to hear about that, it's one of those things that you can do nothing to stop it happening in the first place, and invariably as stored cars aren't insured, if anything happens then you're the one that loses out. :(

Ian.

[bigdrifter]

Bugger, hope you get some sort of recompence out of it all

[pajero1]

[DarrenH]

[pajero1]
