Sorry to hear about the car being pinched, but WTF are you playing at with that picture hosting thing, opening porn windows when clicked on? Out of order.

Pete: where did you host that pic mate? sounds comical.

I called ben earlier to abuse him for putting it up for sale, only to find it had been nicked.

Seems too coincidental that it's nicked the night before some guy is comming to view it, having agree'd to buy it for more than it's worth.....

goods news chaps! Orange has been found!

Turns out, through the powers of facebook, that it was spotted by a delivery driver, who was a friend of a friend of a friend of bens, who thought nothing of the mini under a cover down a back lane at the time, and later came home and saw orange all over facebook, so contacted ben, and Orange was found with almost no damage at all!

happy days indeed :)

Which is exactly why when you are selling a car, you meet potential buyers at a location other than your house!

However, the advice to buyers is not to look at a car unless you go to the sellers address that is on the V5.

Catch 22 me thinks.

Good news that it's been found, he can now finish it of by spraying the sills the same colour as the rest of the car!!!

A commen trick, this car was heading out the UK, he was lucky to get it back.

The car was stolen to order, i would give the police the details of anyone who asked where it was located!

They then steal the car and leave it somewhere to check if the police recover it (nomally via a tracker).

If its still there a couple of days later then it goes on the back of a lorry and onto a boat!

I know this as my uncle found a merc SLK in the middle of nowhere, the police confirmed it as stolen and recovered it, they then told him it was getting more regular

I think I had someone lining a car I had for sale a few years back for this, phoned up from the advert but not asknig "the right" questions, wanted to know where my house was, where it was kept, and what security it had? I obviously did not tell them the correct answers.....

has anything bad happened to the house where it was found ?...did police get any prints ? they must be amatures to leave it out like that.....a pro would have taken it in under sixty seconds, had it down to the dockside along with 49 other cars.....and all to save his own brother no doubt !

you should rename orange "Eleanor"

But Eleanor got smashed up and ended up in the crusher!

Exactly, someone tried to sell me a Mini in a layby once, no chance!

Really good news! It's silly stealing something as unique as that!
