101 Stolen in South London

A good friend of mine has had his 101 nicked.

http://www.101fc.net/stolen/index.htm

500 quid offered for any information leading to the safe recovery of
the truck and conviction of the scum who nicked it. This is a very
unusual truck and would not be suitable for immediate resale. It's
likely that it was an opportunistic theft - either that or stolen to
order, or for spares.

Anyone who notices 'unusual' ads for 101 parts, perhaps on eBay,
please let me know. The rims, for example, were made for, and will
only fit a 101 due to the six stud pattern.

Thats a shame

I have always told myself that 101's would be safe from thieving
scumbags as theyre so noticeable and different.

This makes me consider putting the proper security kit for it back on
the shopping list, I had assumed that i wouldnt need it..

I usually keep an eye on ebay for any 101 bargains. six stud mach-5's
are definately going to stand out.

Am i correct in thinking that most vehicles stolen from homes are
taken at night? (my car was)
It would be interesting to see how many people my ambi siren would
wake up and if it would cause anybody to ring the police or go out and
have a look (assuming im not there)

They are more likely to either assume the police are there already hence the
two tones or, come out to complain about the noise, or ask if they can have
ago.

Regards the stolen one, utter bastards! I hope it gets quickly reunited.

Well the date of the theft on the web page is 20th April so it's been
AWOL a while. IME if a car isn't recovered (in some state, from
perfect to burn out) within about 48hrs it's "disappeared".
Collectable/expensive ones knicked to order, others for
cut 'n shut. A 101 though? I guess it falls into the collectable
category and that did look like a nice tidy one.
