Japspeed Subaru Stolen From Pod!!!!!!

Skifledanabit · June 12, 2011, 02:12:34 PM

There are rumours of it being a publicity stunt, I really hope it is, but then again, I really hope it isn\'t.

there are just too many questions being thrown around, how was it taken from the Japspeed stand, how was it driven out of Pod without being noticed, how the hell has it managed to get from Pod, to the M25 and then to Kent without being noticed by ANPR and/or police at petrol stations (because it doesnt have that much MPG or range)... I dunno, I hope they get it back, but it just shows the sorry state of our police force if they can\'t even find a car that looks like that being DRIVEN on our major routes with the most CCTV in the world!!!

I would imagine that everyone who has a road legal car has at least a CAT 1 alarm on them. The show and trackcars of course would not have these devices. Its a horrible situation though

It\'s a shocking turn of events I hope they get it back in good condition, but I admit I don\'t fancy their chances in this day and age! Would be one to see something like this end well and justice be done for once...

agreed, but i guess being entheusiasts and going to an event ideally with like minded people, there is alot of trust, i mean how many cars have you see at event where people leave there cars on display unlocked so people can have a look inside, under bonnet etc.

horrible situation though

Ricco_04 · June 12, 2011, 08:24:00 PM

Yeah completly agree

I love the atmosphere at the meets and all car releated stuff in general.

In any case, a lock will only keep an honest person out.

Ok, new intel, we first thought it was hanging around Wolf Lane in Windsor, but latest infro says it\'s been seen heading into Milton Keynes Town Center via Watling Street.

keep searching people!

It\'s been found by Thames Valley Police partially stripped in Reading, JapSpeed and their impreza are finally reunited! More details as they\'re released.

Good news that its been found! I\'m surprised they were able to keep putting fuel in it? Presumably it only has a small fuel cell, and most petrol forecourts won\'t switch on the pump if they can\'t see the number plate.

Good news it\'s been found.

The theives must be so thick, there isn\'t much to strip out of a racing car is there really??! As the police found it only partially stripped. Suppose they have done enough damage to cost japspeed enough money rebuilding it.

In Reading of all places, and I was working this weekend - but didn\'t see it - keeping my eye peeled for a saxo/corsa/pug with a stupid spoiler on it.... :rollin

B.Martin · June 13, 2011, 09:54:26 AM

I\'m glad it\'s been found. Hope they find the people responsible.

Not sure why the police had to be stripped to find the car. I know times are heard but surely they can afford full uniform :p:god:bandit:cool
