This suggests to me that someone knew the spec of that car, as at their price now it would be almost cheaper to buy a standard Omega than steal one!

[ted_one]

This is totally unrelated but a bit of a warning I guess,but last Friday I was out front working on the cars when two Eastern European guys pulled up in a bit of a dog Mondeo and started by coming up front and asking me wether I wanted to sell my cars,and even asked me where the white car was?fortunately it is up with Daz at the moment, but which straight away set all the bells ringing to the fact that these guys have been nosing around before.They got a firm NOT EVER!! and I asked them to shift as I was busy,I took the reg number of the car and spoke to cops about what had happened,they checked the car with the DVLA and it came back as scrapped ::)and as they said to me there's not much at this point that they can do but flag it  for a stop if it turns up,which is understandable.Luckily I can park the cars off road and put SWMBO's new Kia across the front of them.....well let's face it who's gonna nick a car that's made by people who eat cats and dogs for dinner...Yuk mind you she bought it!
So in the light of what happened to one of Zirks cars then it may well pay to make sure that your car is well and truly secure before you park it up last thing

How much are trackers nowadays?

Probably best to get mine marked up sooner rather than later

Around 200 notes fitted iirc

I'm starting to get paranoid with the cars now,as I spend more and more hard earned on them I would truly be gutted if some piece of slime nicked one just to bust it up for spares,....christ where's the Valium...and make mine a double

This car Would have been Lifted or Trailered from Private Property from the North London / Herts Borders in the last 9 days.

The Omega is a White Saloon, Ex Police, on an X Plate, with 15 Steels and Plastic trim covers (Not prepared to give the Reg out on a Public Forum), with 3.0, Manual, 3.7 LSD Diff, GLS good Interior with Wood Effect Trim, Body work all panels good, no dents or damage, all Police Holes filled in.

Whilst I expect the Car to be in bits by now, tell tail signs, would have been crack in windscreen, drivers side lower, missing ECU, Transponder and Keys and had a brand new GM Cambelt Kit fitted to it.

Would appreciate anyone keeping an eye out, or more probable being offered or seeling parts or panels being offered or for sale that might relate to the car.

Exhaustive searches have be made with Police, Councils, DVLA, and official Lifting Companies and Storage Pounds without success, Car is now reported to the Police as being Stolen.

Thanks Chris.

Poor old Mig, but seems the preferred method. I caught this on my dashcam beginning of the week. Looks like a G4S van on a low-loader & the old bill hot on his heels........related

Bad news 

I would be looking at banger races for the old girl

I think a bigger threat these days is from Eastern Europe, where Omegas are much more expensive than here and are treated at the luxury end of cars. I'm sure many are stolen, exported and then stripped to keep other Omegas running. Where legal importation is very expensive in some countries, I'm sure some are stolen to order, illegally imported, converted to LHD and cloned to replace accident damaged or scrapped cars.

Would they even bother with that? 

I'm sure that if you go far enough east to the 'Stans' for example there are plenty of RHD's going about.

I reckon Ive got a posible lead on this now, but being a public forum.
