Urgent warning for wiltshire/gloucestershire owners
POST COPIED FROM LANDROVERNET.COM:
Hi all, went into B&Q today for some small bore poly pipe and when I came out I found 3 young Guys standing around my Disco. As I approached the old girl one of them asked me if I wanted to sell it. I stated No but he insisted I consider selling it as he thought my Land Rover was "lush".
I told him I was not interested in selling, got into the car and drove out of the car park. I noticed a white transit behind me and realised it was these fella's. They went the same way as me and so I got suspicious. I then darted through some back roads totally irrelevant to my journey home, and they stayed with me. It was obvious at this point they were following me and that this was not sheer coincidence.
I then drove out of town and headed down the A4361 past Wroughton. Knowing there is a track a few miles out of town that they could not possibly follow me up, I turned off the road and into the track...this soon lost the ******s as there transit stood no chance.
I returned to town and reported the incident to the Police who said they would "circulate the vehicle details and ascertain the intentions of the occupants" Is it me or is that a euphemism for "They haven't actually committed a crime so we can't and won't waste our time"??
Anyway..the all important information.
Van: Ford Transit : Reg No: T281 VAV: Colour...White.
The van was scruffy and had a full height bulkhead and a tow bar on the rear (saw that in the car park)
Driver: About 22 - 28 years: Dark Brown Hair, shoulder length and scruffy. Torn grease covered jeans and a Brown T-Shirt without a logo. About 5ft 10" tall and I would hazard around the 11-12st mark.
Scrote 1: Similar age range. About 5ft 5" tall, light build and skinny, but muscular. cropped brown hair. Grease covered dirty combats and a CAT blue polo shirt.
Scrote 2: About 19-25years. 5ft 7 - 9 " Tall. Blond Hair, wavy and scruffy shoulder length. Flattened nose and scar on the right cheek that looks like he's been bottled or glassed at some point. Black Jeans and a White T-Shirt.
All three were clearly of Irish decent.
Now it is possible they have other vehicles, but I would suggest everyone be extra vigilant for a while in case these self gratifiers are on the prowl for someone's Landy.
If you know people with Landy's who do not come here please warn them and any ladies, be very wary if these Guys are hanging about your vehicle. I would strongly suggest that any older people or Ladies..or anyone concerned for that matter, simply contact the Police on 999 if you find people acting suspiciously around your vehicle.
