Last night we had a MK5 Cortina stolen from Bolton

Reg is HNB 938V
If anybody see's or hears anything please let me know
Thanks
-
sorry to hear that >:(
-
Should be easy enough to spot at least if its being driven around .... theiving scum >:( >:(
-
Hoping it'll be spotted somewhere...and doesn't just get weight in by some little scum bag
-
The Cortina was always an easy car to steal. I hope they have just decided to pop the lock and used it to get home and have left it in good order nearby.
Everything crossed for a speedy return.
-
bad news dave, hope its found soon mate. :(
-
It would appear that they've done the locks as there wasn't the tell tale glass on the floor, unless theives now carry dustpans and brushes!!!!
Still they wouldn't have got too far as there wasn't much fuel in.
-
Sad news D :( - Hope you get an early and positive resolution to this. :y :y

Hate to sound the profit of doom but round here we've had a few cases of older cars going walkies off driveways, coincidentally I had a guy ask me about my mig yesterday as I was working on it. I believe they look for cars on drives with expired tax discs and then come in with a spectacle lift, probably assuming that a lot of people won't bother reporting it as it's obviously broken etc.

Hopefuly they knew that they are dead easy to get into with a coat hanger or a narrow piece of hardboard.
Fingers crossed

Indeed - fingers crossed you get it back!
(And find the thieves so you can set about them with a blowtorch and a pair of pliers)
-
That is very bad news indeed!! :'( :'( :'(
A classic like that is going to be easy to spot one hopes, and as the Cortina always was an easy car to get into and start without keys (or with vitually any key!!) it has probably been nicked to just get someone home! ::) ::) ::)
The police should have no trouble spotting it ;)

you didn't need to go to that much effort on mine, A N Other similar key would get in. :-? :y :y

I can do, and have done, that on an Omega, not with hardboard though..... :D :D

I personally prefer my black and decker and a mallet to be honest... just for starters... A blow torch and pliers is much further down my list, but, for thieves, shattered fingers and drilled kneecaps should do the job quite nicely as far as I'm concerned...

Bar-stewards! >:( >:(
I do a fair few miles around the North West with work, and have made a note of the reg number.
Hope she turns up in one piece :y
-
We went round all the local scrapyards yesterday and no sign of her!
Still hoping she'll turn up in one piece :) :)

when we were at school i told me mate how easy it was to break into a cortina and our teacher had one,we nicked a fork from the canteen and broke the two prongs on the ends off and bent the middle two inwards and we succesfully entered our w reg yellow victim. its so easy its not funny with them type locks.
as for the cortina in question if its not been parked up somewhere i unfortunately think it will end up going round bell vue or buxton and getting smashed to smithereens as them hooligans want stuff like that to race :-?

We've still not had any luck in finding the old girl. Could be anywhere by now, but still have a feeling its a car!!!
Don't think it'll end up on the track as we now most of the racers in the area and they all know the car and that it belongs to fellow racers!!!!!

If you have any pictures they may be worth posting as they will jog peoples memory easier than rememdering a reg number on it;s own.
