had a phonecall from the police this afternoon, they told me that after their extensive (yeah, right!!!) investigations, they have checked all the survailence cameras in the area, asked a few people and they can’t find the truck or the people who took it, so, as far as they are concerned, they have closed the case 
didn’t take them long did it? 
any wonder why people don’t have respect for the police anymore?
Just out of interest how do you value a motor like that for a claim?, as to replace it (build another) would cost a fortune.
don’t know

Wait… you actually expected the police to do their job; you know, solving crimes and helping the very people that pay their wages? Come on Rob, time to wake the ■■■■ up and get real. 
Back on topic… like others, I hope you get reunited with your pride and joy real soon.

the anpr system will still be active rob and believe me it works a treat mate the 2nd time mine went the boys in blue who found it never removed it as stolen 10 mile up the road i was road blocked and dragged out the cab as my protests fell on deaf ears i was cuffed an threw in avan till they found my passport and realised it was my truck 
i laugh about it now tho as for value mate your broker will look at truck trader for going rate and offer you a tad less 
cant wait to see if he finds one tho

Eddie, ANPR will only work if it is on the original plates, if they stick falsies on, it won’t show up

I think if it was on the road it would have been seen (again?) by now.
I, along with many others i’d imagine, have viewed the thread multiple times…

I am aware of that Dave, however, the fact remains, its been read by and passed on to a lot of people even if the viewed figure includes multiples (which it does).
As regards a tracker, yes they are a good idea - until they’re found & lobbed in a field.
I would assume that Rob thought it unnecessary as he (and many of us here) would think the chances of such an unusual vehicle being stolen were very small. How wrong we can be.
rob it might be worth giving some recovery firms a call if it has had plates changed it might have been recoverd but they have found original id , this happend to a customer of mine a while back 2 trucks insurance were just going to pay out . i was working in the recovery yard spotted the trucks rang him , he didn,t now they were there. they were on cloaned plates from same year trucks .
i spend most of my working days on A9 between Perth and Ballinluig. So you’ve got a set of eyes up here too! and im a totaly fanboy so i notice every lorry on the road 
Keeping them peeled for you Rob. Hope Big Blue turns up soon
Let’s hope he gets it back otherwise he’s gonna end up with a t cab :s

That should be enough for the tealeaf to bring it back, the shame of being seen in one of those 
I haven’t seen any other theft reports on this motor apart from here and facebook though, nothing found on Leicestershire or Derbyshire police websites, nothing in the local online papers.
Remember there are only a few drivers on this site, in the big picture of things.
