Tracker has a £125 sale on all products this week. Might be worth a look I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

If someone takes one of my cars I dont want it back. This is the issue for me with trackers.

Ooof, that is grim reading. I didn’t realise I could see the fb page without an account. It looks like a wave of targeted thefts sweeping across the country.

I can see why a relatively new one would be stolen and then somehow given a new identity and sold on, but the older 200tdi / 300tdi pick ups etc are I guess being broken up? Surely there can’t be so much demand for parts?

Now I am not saying that everything at land rover auto jumbles is suspect but over the years I have seen all sorts of parts of newish Defender items on offer. I cant think of many genuine reasons for breaking nearly new vehicles, especially if you can see all the un-damaged parts minus the chassis on offer. My trips have been sourcing bits for series one's which I am sure are potentially equally open to dishonesty but rarely do you see complete vehicles broken up. There seems to be plenty of people ready to hand over cash for parts and this must influence those willing to meet the demand. 2010 XS USW

Christ on a bike, the second post down in landywatch. Did I read that right? They broke in through the roof tiles and smashed through a ceiling to get the keys.

FFS!!!!

I agree, it would never be same to get it back, I would much prefer to buy another. Obviously if someone had put many hours into there cars and made it just how they want, or it has sentimental value etc I understand. But personally for me it wouldn’t feel the same and I wouldn’t want it back.

Still sad news for the owners must be a horrible feeling to go out one morning and your pride and joy has been taken by some low life scum Thanks Jim.
