The car has been found

the f***ers burnt it out.

The only part that was missing was the rear wing, all the bumpers alloys ect are still on (albeit somewhat melted)

why go to the effort of stealing a car and not take anything off it?

The VT would open the doors in the event of a car rolling in an accident. However it would also open in the event of kids jumping on the roof. :hihi:

The general moral decay. I think I'd be more pleased if they stole everything out of it, but to just burn it... that's awful.

It would be more interesting to see what they used it for?

Bugger eh, but to be honest Im not so sure I would want the car back if it was stolen. Youd always be wondering what happened to it while it was gone.

Thats just disgraceful. Its not like they broke it into peices and sold it off, or sold the whole thing somehow or did something decent with it at all... they could have stolen a 120Y and just done the same thing. Less bragging rights I guess.

I hope they catch them.
