My Epsom Green Defender 90 Td5 Stolen

Sorry I ain't ever introduced myself but am one who just enjoys reading and learning from the experts on here. Sadly I woke up this morning to find an empty space where my 90 should be in Stirchley, Birmingham. It was secured by a bright yellow bar passed through the steering wheel and shackled to the clutch pedal. Reg V201GNE, it had van type body but with additional windows. Acme Sewage Co written on the sides in silver so pretty easy to spot. I presume they towed it as I heard nothing in the night. Probably already dissmantled by now. Only had it just over a year so i'm well upset.
The insurers Red Star say they will only pay me market value and so I should find evidence of the value of similar vehicles!! What tossers!
Anyway, thought I should share this all too common occurence.

Sorry to hear that mate.. Its happening more and more now tho...

Sorry to hear about that I will try and keep a look out for you

Really sorry for you on this. Will keep an eye out

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I've shared on Facebook too, ya never know?

Best thing to do is make it to hot to handle. A few lads on here have got them back so chin up

Just add insult to injury. Had it serviced and MOT'd 2 weeks ago at local garage. They ripped me off for £1800 inc front brake callipers and indicator stalk. Fuel filter looks like an old part too. Was thinking of going to Trading Standards about it.

Be worth keeping a look out on ebay and the like for a seller selling lots of Land Rover parts? Especially if you spot something very unique to your vehicle?

You should post it in ere too:

and on LandyWatch - Keeping an eye on your Land Rover

These guys would be my first suspect!

Sorry to here that fella. Mine got took about 6 weeks ago, but was recovered 36 hours later. Hoping to get it back from the repair shop next week. So don't give up. If it doesn't get found you don't have to let the insurance company walk all over you. I ended up with more bad feeling towards my insurance company than to the scum that took it.
