A white transit van was stolen from work yesterday. I was in the office alone at the time as all the drivers were on the road. The Registration is YF08 LGY. It has the Hire companys logo written all over it (I don't know if I am aloud to mention the name) It was stolen from Preston at 15:00 but it could be anywhere in the country by now. It has a large dent on the back doors. Please could you all keep your eyes open as my job is on the line.

I take it you've reported it to the cops - I'd suggest you post up the number of the local police station (or at least allow members to PM you) so they can advise if it's been spotted.
There's a lot of members on here, covering a large area... :y
-
The phone number for the police station (Bamber Bridge) is 01772 415734 and PM's are always welcomed as I check my emails every 30 mins so no info will go un-noticed. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
-
Can you give a clue to the logo, colour perhaps, lot of white transits around, just might help with noticing it :)
-
The van has Thrifty Car and Van Rental written in large letters all over the van
Another forum said that in the circumstances I can name the company as it give extra Identification. Therefore if Anyone has a problem with me mentioning the company name please delete it and I will try and give a description
-
If I am allowed I have a link to a picture on our website that shows exactly what the van looks like. It's not a link to the main page just the picture
-
I'm sure it's OK to post the link. :y
-
Go for it, I am based, workwise, in an office on a large industrial estate, just off major link roads, so you never know.......
-

Whats the chances of it having the same plates on....very slim id say.
And with being sign written probably not in one piece now.
Were the keys left in the ignition by the way..?
-
Happy to keep an eye out, you never know :y
-
No. The keys were left (by mistake) hidden under the counter. The guy who took the van was caught on CCTV leaning right over to see what was there.

I guess this was your responsibility, judging by your first post :(
-
I would say yes and no. There are other issues. I was working alone, It was busy, Phones and company mobiles were ringing in the office (no phone in reception), Drivers with problems etc

Eyes open in Glasgow mate :)

Cheers. The van could be anywhere. The compound is situated 5 minutes away from the M6 and 30 minutes from the M62
-
eyes open in wigan too, i'll be shocked if that's what delivers my new couch tomorrow!!
is it exactly that size too? the long wheel base version?
-
Yeah thats the exact size and model. Cheers
-
im guessing if some workmate had "borrowed" it you would have found out by now. did anyone recognise the guy from the cctv footage? like a previous customer or something?
-
No-one knows who they were. The CCTV picture are very clear but unfortunately I can't get hold of copies to post round.

Not known to the Police then? :o
-
The two officers who came to the officers didn't know them but they said that someone will recognize them. I won't find out much more till my discaplinary next wednesday. I'm just hoping that my friends at work will keep me informed.
-

Yep thought as much with what I know nowadays!! 8-) 8-) 8-)

The keys aren't normally under the counter. It was a one off mistake as it was busy and I had to rush to the other office.

Oh dear, is that why you are in trouble then :( Could someone have seen you leave the keys there or was it opportunist :(
-
From what the CCTV shows, the guy drives on to the site, walks into reception which is a good 200 metres away from the site entrance, looks over the desk then lifts the keys. I know it sounds wierd but thats what happened. If the keys had not been there would he have tried to get the keys some other way?

Hope you don`t loose yer job,I reckon you were setup,had the van just been dropped back off hire and the hirer oossibly saw where you dropped the keys.
-
I know I'm in for a servere B*****king but I hope thats all. A customer came in just before him to look at some vans but I think that they were unconnected as He was a regular customer, but you never know.
