Please keep an eye out for an arden blue vxr registration number OV08 OWM

If anyone sees it or hears anything please contact me on here and your local police station!
Heres a list of mods that may help it get spotted..
Debadged rear except the vxr
18" Corsa Vxr rims
Remus exhaust
Rarb... See more
Courtney Sport Engine hoses

that's a shame but sadly cars like these are usually stolen to order. They are stored away for a few weeks until the "customer" needs it for their "job" and when they do reappear they will most likely be on cloned dummy plates that relate to the same make model and colour of vehicle so when they pass ANPR nothing is flagged because the plates relate to a car that hasn't been reported stolen. The other "victim" is none the wiser until after the "job" is done and the bastards have either dumped or wrecked the car and the police recover the cloned plates!
Imo the worst kind of thief is a car thief!
Coming from Belfast it was (and still is) a major problem. What's even worse is that these wee shits are stealing to joyride and usually end up killing someone or trashing the car whilst showing off their "expert" driving skills infront of the wee pack of rats and thieves standing at the side of the road!

most are just used for a job and then abandoned
What thye will do is oput false plates on it and leave it for 24hrs parked up to see if it has a tracker or someone calls it in
Happened to the VXR - took it 10 miles down the road left it on a housing estate with false plates and someone called it in
the BMW however was used ona job and found to have 3 sets of fasle plates when recovered
Know exactly how it feels - hope he has some good news

I am sure the people that have this one wouldn't be fucking stupid enough to let it go for £6.5k though.
