Stolen Land Rover Defender 90 Pickup Somerset

*Details removed*

post this on LAndywatch as well hope they catch the bastids

That really sucks, man ...
Hope you get some joy in getting re-united ...

There's not a lot thats 'lower' than stealing from people -
here's hoping the scumbag(s) that had it away encounter some 'karmic retribution', befitting of the nature of the deed.
Nicking stuff from folk is so far out of order, that words cant cover it.

Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks.

My friend has contacted Landy Watch for me.

what area of Somerset was it nicked from?

Not a million miles from Shepton Mallet, off the beaten track.

keep me eyes peeled for ya mate
feel for ya mate , had mine nicked just before crimbo but i got lucky they did'nt get far with it and the steering lock jammed on and they abandoned it thank fook!

Just to let you know the police found the vehicle today acting on local intelligence and it has been returned to me. They believe it was waiting to be broken up. No evidence left though to prosecute.

Glad its back...although its a miracle because as far as i'm aware there is no local intelligence in Somerset.

Glad to hear its back! you were lucky!

did they damage anything?
if it was waiting to be broken, do you know if they found more in there?

That's my stomping ground so I'll keep my eyes open. I thought we'd pulled yours into our place this afternoon but unfortunately it's a CSW that we picked up.

It seems that landy theft is on the increase here in somerset at the moment.

No damage at all. Door locks fine, ignition/steering column fine. Will check the steering lock at some point as well.

Stole the CD player (second hand one which I was quite fond of) and all my stuff. Don't know much about the site where it was located but it was alone.

Didn't spot this earlier. That's great news.

Can you pm me and let me know where it was found please.

Soms..... delighted to hear that you got her back with minimal damage

I hope you don't mind but I've pointed another lad from Somerset to this thread who had his G plate white 90 pinched this morning... see below from Landywatch...

I suggested he might want to get in contact with you/Ratty and also to post up a separate thread on here.
