Probably a good thing to do would be to post it on any other forums you go on and see if the power of the tinternet can help recover it for the old chap, it's really sad when this sort of thing happens.

Sadly no one seemed bothered when my old A35 was stolen, hardly anyone shared it on the internet. I even emailed Classic Car Weekly about the theft, who didn't even have the courtesy to respond, let alone print an article.

Of course it was never found.

Hope the chap gets his Morris back.
