Abandoned ex-plod MV6?
« on: 21 September 2007, 16:07:12 »

Taking my daughter to school this morning and noticed this car. Ex-police MV6, 3.o manual, with 145k on the clock.

Could well have been abandoned. It's locked up, but there's no tax and the radio is missing, plus it's in a place where local yobs tend to hang out. Could be a "lost or stolen". Should I just forget about it or report it to local police or council?

report it with the number plate it might be listed as stolen or not but the way to look at it is if it was your car you would want someone to report your car found, it will only take you 5 seconds to make someones day

It's not in your way is it? I would forget about it... it won't be stolen due to the chip in key thing Omega's have.....

I bet you, the belt has gone and they haven't been able to shift it yet.  :y

Why would ANYONE want to steal an Omega though? and a shabby one at that?

Like I say, mind your own business IMO.  :y

On the other hand though, Imagine YOU just bought it and were taking it home and all of a sudden *snap* cam belt goes :( and you can't get a tow there and then....
Would be an even bigger slap across the face if someone has had it towed.

Not having a pop mate - just putting my opinion across.  :y

Yep, that happened to a car around here last week. One day they stuck a clamp on it and big yellow DVLA "This Car is Not Taxed" sticker and 24 hours later they came along with a lorry and off it went to the crusher (I assume).  


Haven't done anything yet about the ex-plod, been a bit busy this afternoon.

Perhaps someone on here has access to the PNC.. ::)

(only joking!)  ;)
