Have they tried contacting the AA, RAC and GreenFlag....its been a couple of days since it went missing, they are bound to have seen it by now!!

Seriously though...its bad news when fellow 4x4 owners get their motors swiped...sadly its probably in bits on ebay already, or been flopped onto another ID, they aint difficult landrovers, most have the vin missing off the frame as they rot out on the front chassis legs so get legitimately plated up all the time...

Gotta say I agree with Gregster. It's prolly gone for parts cos they make more money with less risk that way. I'll keep an eye out on my travels though, cos you never know

Sadly, I agree, or it's already been shipped abroad.

Even so, it's worth a try, even if it makes others consider the security of their own vehicles.
