Hi guys,

I've been speaking to a guy recently about buying his Championship White Integra DC5 and he's just called to say a couple of 'buyers' have just car jacked him

These cars are still pretty rare in the UK so please keep an eye out for it:

He lives down Essex way.

Damn

Ricochet J · 29 Aug 2008 at 21:19

I work around Essex. I'll have a look around. Does he have a numberplate?

.........HS51 XDL?

ci_newman · 29 Aug 2008 at 21:21

I'd posted it in the title, but the reg is HS51 XDL

Was looking at that advert on dc2 forums today. Scumbags, hope they recover it.

Mikey · 29 Aug 2008 at 21:43

Shame it hasn't got tracker on it. I'd have tracker these days even on my others Fiesta just to see the ****s get caught

Bennah · 29 Aug 2008 at 21:46

Sad to hear this!

Was they test driving it at the time?

ci_newman · 29 Aug 2008 at 21:48

They met him at home at took it from his driveway I think! I don't know the full circumstances at the moment.

He did, however, get the bar-stewards on CCTV as he has two of his own cameras pointing at his driveway

Whereabouts in Essex? I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to find if the thief's are based in Essex as well.

ci_newman · 29 Aug 2008 at 22:12

The chap lives near the Lakeside on the M25

shauncr91 · 29 Aug 2008 at 22:16

That sucks

hope he manages to recover it in the same state it left in

Ok.

I've text a few mates around that area, they will keep their eyes pealed

I'll keep an eye out when I'm about in Romford and Basildon etc...they are likely places to spot this car. Tell him I've also asked a few mates in Rainham to look out for it.

tbh if I went down a few pubs in Rainham someone is bound to know something....

Remember people...the last thing you should ever do is meet someone at your house, always find a local public place ie. Supermarket car park or Petrol Station.

Hopefully it will turn up as it sticks out like a sore thumb!

GeForce · 29 Aug 2008 at 23:04

That's sad to hear

Anyway I'll keep an eye out, and just hope he gets it back in one piece!

Muffin` · 29 Aug 2008 at 23:05

tenner say's it's been stripped

Gaygle · 29 Aug 2008 at 23:07

such a shame. I've seen this one on pistonheads and thought it looked brilliant (yes that's right, i look at pictures of DC5's hoping one day someone will give me one

)

TBH If I was looking to buy a car and the person wanted me to meet at a petrol station there would be no chance.

Hope it is found. Quite a few of these around Norwich now it seems.

The advice for buyers is never to meet in a public place - always meet at a home address so you have some come back if something goes wrong.

Unfortunately, the thieves will know this and sounds like it could be a "steal to order".

Then you would lose out on a potential buy, I would rather that then risk getting jacked - thanks.
