England 2005 Defender 110 Td5 XS CSW Cairns Blue
Attempted theft of TD5 90 from Newton-Le-Willows
Reported on LandyWatch of an attempted theft of a Td5 90 from Newton-le-Willows train station car park last Friday 11th May'12

Quote:
Over the last year I have been catching the train from Newton Le Willows station to Manchester for 9-6 work. When I returned to the landy last Friday I found that someone had been in causing the following damage:

Bust back door and drivers side lock
Smashed steering column
Ripped wires from ignition switch
Bust ignition barrell

They hadn't removed the steering lock, I assume that was the next move after they got it started. However they didnt get it started due to not being able to find my hidden ign switch (thank god). They had flattened the battery cranking the engine though. To recover the landy I had to smash off the steering lock and hotwire to get it home. I've now replaced and fitted all the replacement parts.


We're asking about any CCTV in the car park (optimistic I know) but meantime, be on your guard in Newton le Willows area.

Owner has also fitted some additional security over and above what he previously employed. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.
