Plant and landrovers going missing in rural areas is nothing new i'm afraid, we bought the TD5 after our 200TDi was stolen from uttoxeter cattle market, that was 10 years ago.

Interesting article, if not very detailed: stolen land rovers end up in Africa: Stolen Land Rovers sold in Africa, say police - Telegraph

I would imagine they weren't bothered about the colour or condition, they'd just drive it to a hidden location and strip it to its component parts to sell separately, within days, if not hours, of stealing it.

that's a great photo busterbus.

My friend in the trade who knew the vehicles reckoned about the same, he said £12K minimum for the pair I spotted this landrover on ebay today which is pretty much identical to the 300 i've lost in spec and condition, and is the same age and mileage. Land Rover Defender 90 300 Tdi County...

Yes, we came very close to disturbing them in the act, i'm not sure if that would have been a good thing or not.

I believe that pay pal will only accept official postal or courier tracking information as proof of receipt in cases where the buyer claims non delivery. It's not really safe to accept pay pal on collection only items. Ebay's rules mean you can't refuse it on most items but i think you can...

someone on another forum sent me this message re what's likely to be happening to the stolen landies: not saying he's right but looking st the messages in this section of the forum, there are a lot of vehicles going at the moment in the M1 corridor, including mine, which were just off the A50

Thanks, it does seem unlikely that they'll turn up, but you never know. we need the vehicles to run the business, losing both is a major headache, but beyond that we've owned them for ten years now, and they've been looked after with a view to keeping them a bit longer yet, the TD5 was my...

During the night between tueday and wednesday the 14th of april both of my farm's landrover defenders were taken from my yard in denstone staffs. A light blue county defender 90 R46UWL and a dark blue TD5 90 v668JAW I've been reading this forum for the first time having googled 'stolen...
