This guys wandered off.

If anyone see's it or comes across cheap white TE37's in 15" form can you let me know?

I've called the Police and local council to see if its been impounded and it hasn't been.

Might help if you mention whereabouts it was stolen!

Vita · 15 Dec 2012 at 17:49

Is it yours? Will keep a look out on the bay/gum car forums.

Will definatly keep an eye out for you down here in Exeter ! You never know :/

Ouch, sorry to hear that! Obviously I wont see it up this way but must be gutting.

Didn't we have another member here who had his MX5 roof slashed in Bristol?

Ha, I had that happen on this car around 3 years ago.

Conscript · 15 Dec 2012 at 18:59

Sure it happened more recently to someone else too

Here's hoping it turns up soon.

ouch, bad luck Will :/ I'll keep an eye out on forums etc.

Sorry to hear about this mate, will keep my eyes peeled for you!

paradigm · 15 Dec 2012 at 20:30

Doubt it will make it up this far, unless the old owner stole it back

But will keep an eye out on the motorways.

Well that sucks balls dude

Best of luck getting it back!

Thanks all, stolen from Bristol city centre in the middle of rush hour so it may come up

Made me realise how much I love it.

Vita · 15 Dec 2012 at 21:05

Did you leave the keys in? Or was it taken without the keys? I'm judging that you're posting this so you must be at home, and they took without the keys.

Were you at a place you frequent often/park often?

Morba · 15 Dec 2012 at 21:06

Im local and see enough scrotes so will keep me ears open for you

Without the keys and it was in a fairly high traffic volume area, I'm home now. I called the Police when I found it and for some reason my first thought was that it had been towed, wishful thinking I guess, for some reason I thought that maybe my pay and display ticket fell off the windscreen and that had meant it had been taken away, but I clearly wasn't thinking right, so I just told the Police it had been stolen.

I was away from the car for an hour at most, and I have both sets of keys on me. I don't have a daily routine and I sincerely doubt someone followed me all day.

Hopefully there is CCTV?

One would hope

Vita · 15 Dec 2012 at 21:27

Depending on the road. I would go visit any place with CCTV in both directions (other directions too), to see if you can see which way it's gone.

It's not a matter of someone following you, though if you park there often there is a chance someone has had their eye on it. A thief taking a MX5 on the off chance imo is rare, unless they want the wheels for their car/parts to order.

I hope you get it back.
