...Ford Transit (van)
Can't beat a good old transit van... then they drive up to your bike cut the anchor and lift it in the van gone two for the price of one......hang em i say..lol
Don't know if they still do (no doubt I am out of touch lol) but at one time they didn't bother with the vans round here they just used to nick the engines and gearboxes out of em.
Thanks KWAK this post has made me feel a lot better about leaving my VECTRA anywhere except my own garage ......what was that ....did someone hear something ......
my first car got nicked the night i bought it !
they used it to find a car worth nicking it was a Mk1 ford escort estate 1100cc wow blimey a propper car still miss it now
oh yeh i did get it back the next few days the brakes were rubish so they dumped it for some thing else
wich reminds me of a story in the papper at the time
a bloke was so sick of his car being broken into when he wnet on holliday he cleared it out and left a note on the dash bourd to say nothing worth nicking in this car !
when hegot back he looked in his car to find a broken window the note said just checking !!

Superdream was a luxury bike in it's day Julie. I can remember my brother bringing home a brochure when it first came out and we both sat and drooled over it
