Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
Did you record cab number?
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
Sorry - I'm confused. HAve two different green vans been stolen in the same area? If not, which one are we looking out for?

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
Looks like it, one in Bolton, other Manchester.
Why the 1966 van should have an Austin grill is a mystery itself!
Should always record cab numbers on LCVs - fall's on deaf ears I'm afraid - too late when it's stolen.

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
Yes, there are two vehicles. They were posted on Facebook and that's all the information I have.
I copied them here to raise awareness.
Thanks,

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
I can't see anyone would be driving around in them. What a nasty trick to play on someone.

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
What they do?
They drive to Holland and buy a registration from this guy:
http://www.marktplaats.nl/verkopers/16249198.html
this person is selling the paperwork only, with a piece of new metal with some numbers in it.
So if you have a stolen car, buy his papers and the car is " legal " again

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
Yes, found TWO "iffy" ones that "originated" from Holland - a 1962 van with a 1969 cab number and a S2 "chop top" - both had their body numbers in place, so could have been traced IF they were stolen...and IF their details were on my database...

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
It happens more in the Netherlands, once one of the companies who is selling Morris parts, had a sidevalve MM, but with the chassis number from a '56.
When I called and asked for the original numbers, I got the answer, what you see is what you get...
Some people only think on money, but not on the owners...

Re: Green Van Stolen in Bolton Area
I see it is on a SORN and MOT ran out in March last year and on the ASKMID website it says it says its not insured.
