sadly fact of modern life, it is not nailed down it gets nicked and sometimes even if it is nailed down, no deterant, no real punishment and too much focus on crap not real crimes nowadays.

I'm seeing a note on Facebook that a Saab (95, I think) has been stolen from a workshop near Whitchurch, Shropshire, along with the trailer it was on, and a modern Range Rover that was parked nearby.



There's no registration plate on the car because it's recently been imported and doesn't have one yet.

I would imagine the thieves had no idea of the vans actual contents.
