Just posted a notice on Truckersworld, the more eyes the better.
You`d have to be a complete tool to thieve something as distinctive as that.
Shuttlespankers lovely ‘‘Big Blue’’ has been stolen. Saturday night from Nailstone! PLEASE keep your eyes peeled!! Thanks
is it just the unit or has the trailer gone to?
i know what its like as i had 6 k in tools go about 4/5 weeks ago!

it is just the unit, was not coupled to a trailer, no trailers were touched

[zb]!! Sounds like it was ‘stolen to order’! 
Trailer’s a Roadways 1 in the pic, used to pull FIR trailers, with the rear steer type thing that was a pain in the harris lol.
Sorry to hear about the theft, don’t really think of people nicking trucks, 'specially ones that REALLY stand out, bull noses, long lines etc…
That’s a massive cab there, should be easy to spot, even if paint job and reg are changed.

correct about the trailer, it is RCL
it was only the unit that was taken, not any trailers, the unit was parked on its own in the yard
[zb] scum is the best to describe them, sorry to hear it mate, hopefully with it being so distinctive it wont be long before it found…

Look at the picture Dave, it’s not exactly going to be easy to clone.
Been keeping my eyes peeled and told others to do likewise

no mate, i have only ever had one set of keys since i bought it, and they are still in my coat pocket 
just spoken to someone who called in the yard on sunday morning approx 09:30, he has told me that it was not there when he called in
so, it was taken between 18:30 sat evening and 09:30 sunday morning
There any local companies you are friendly with that might have had CCTV pointing towards the road anywhere along its potential route?
depends on which way they went from the yard, there is 1 company within a few miles with CCTV, whether it catches the road or not, i don’t know, i will make enquiries with them
have just heard from a friend that it was possibly spotted on the A419 between Swindon and Gloucester heading north yesterday morning about 11:00am with a 40’ container behind it

If someone was trying to be inconspicuous to steal a container load of TV’s or something, then yours is not the best choice to do it with. They are not going to be able to work it in the UK and how many ports could it get into without being noticed. Someone needs to be looking in some sheds or dismantlers yards I reckon.
Share it on Facebook and the Comical Motor blog
it is all over facebook about it going missing, only just heard from the person who ‘spotted’ it, just about to inform the police of this too
