Possible dumped 90 in Dorset
Not sure if anyone's missing a blue 90, but there's one dumped(?) alongside a roundabout in the Wimborne area of Dorset. It wasn't there at 0630 on Sat morning, but was there at 2200 last night (Sunday), still there this morning now with a "Police Aware" sticker.

Unfortunately I couldn't see the whole reg as I went past, but it is an "X"-prefix. It's a SW type, spare wheel (in black cover with writing on it) on rear door, RAI, metal A-bar on front, and looks in nice condition.

It's current position doesn't doesn't really look like how you'd leave your pride and joy, makes me a bit suspicious.

I don't suppose it's at the roundabout near the junction of the road that goes to Carlton Marshsall is it? 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

if it's got a police sticker on there how thick would you have to be? Thick as thieves I suppose. Rolling Eyes Whistle When you say a 90 are we talking old / new? No Guts, No Glory.

"X"-prefix registration, as it says in my original post!

As far as I know the only purpose of a "Police Aware" sticker is to stop members of the public continually reporting it. I am not aware that it means "we are actively trying to reunite this vehicle with its owner", but I may be wrong.

Oh yes, sorry I missed the X registration detail. Embarassed I assume rather than actually bothering to as you say re-unite it with it's owner they are more than likely just leaving it there until it's reported missing. Neutral No Guts, No Glory.

I saw the said Landy there yesterday complete with driver. I did wonder if he had broken down but bonnet was shut and passenger door open. It now seems it had broken down (unusual for a Defender Wink ) and it's awaiting recovery or roadside repairs. 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

Let us hope so, and that the owner can recover it speedily and intact!

If it was mine I woudl be living in it until help arrived!

Went past at 1630 and it had gone. Let's hope it had just broken down and was recovered legitimately.

Shame he wasn't on the forum would have been nice to know if all worked out ok. Having had a 90 stolen its a real pain to sort out the aftermath.

I believe that I glimpsed the same Defender safe and sound on the forecourt of the local recovery operator this morning, so it looks like a happy ending this time.
