Title: Black Rx-7 Stolen!
Post by: BenLewisMav on December 09, 2010, 05:21:57 PM
Stolen from the Churchdown (Gloucester) area Tuesday night.

Black Mazda RX-7 FD3S
Registration  L??? TVO
(L127 TVO he thinks)

Standard looking car with the exception of;
Silver 17" wheels - 6 spoke design
Large bore cat-back exhaust
Lowered
Around 90,000-95,000km

He\'s not had it for long hence the vagueness on the some of the details. Apparently the TWOCers also tried nicking his mates skyline that was parked behind it, but stole his Rx-7 instead when they realised the skyline had a knackered head.


If you have any information please post it up here, I\'ll put up his number once I\'ve confirmed with him it\'s ok to do so.
Many thanks in advance on his behalf!

Strange car to steal really, any decent thief would know the RX7 world is extremely small when compared with Subarus, Skylines & Evos. I wish you luck in getting it back, it\'s a shame car thieves aren\'t treated like the ..... that they are when caught :Hammer

Car not found as of yet.. No word on it at all. Probably in a lock up somewhere :/

Of course if you do see it I would say ideally report it to the police asap... Once the car is recovered feel free to do what you wish to the Twocers.

The police don\'t seem to be very helpful lately

Telling the police you have spotted/are following a known stolen car would probably be the best thing to be honest mate. As much as the owner would love some form of aggresive justice, the police are setup to deal with it, and if you saw the car but lost it in traffic etc because you were trying to keep it under the radar then that wouldnt be very good really. Cheers for asking though :Thumbs-up

lol I\'d didn\'t really mean "Aggresive justice" I don\'t fight :D

Don\'t expect much from the police .They don\'t care well thats the way it seems in birmingham only interested in drink driving/insurance/mot took them 3 days to come when the someone broke into the ladys car next door :O
