Default Stolen Volvo 240. SE London. H447 UYA 12/10/13. Gutted...

Hi all,
My beloved Volvo 240 GL, White estate, Auto, H447 UYA was stolen in broad daylight today the 12th of Oct between 1pm and 8pm outside my house in Herne Hill south London.
It's pretty distinctive as it has white wall tyres and chrome wheel trim.
If its gone to the banger track I hope it crumples.
Absolutely gutted.
To top it off my gprs/gps tracker is waiting for me in the post office....



Obviously if anyone sees it or gets offered anything can you message me. I fitted a drivers armrest and a US voltmeter into it too.
Any scrappys....I'll match the price!
The thing was mint.
Gutted.

Reward gladly given

Biscuit

I don't really know what to say, anything I do say isn't going to make it better but i'll be certain to keep an eye out for it.

Maybe try signing up to Ovalchat the banger forum, they can't all be bad eggs if indeed it was the bangerboys that took it in the 1st place, got to be worth a try.

You're right, I know most are sound, have known a couple myself. But i have been warned so much in the last few weeks about this happening.
It's why I bought the tracker....
Copper told me another 240 within a mile from mine went 3 weeks ago. 30 years, one owner, full history.
Garage down the road told me almost ten they know of have gone in the lat 2 years. Including the garage owners.
Signing up to ovalchat now. Here's hoping.
Thanks

Terrible. I really hope you get it back.

Make sure the Police know about all that info about 240s being stolen, banger racers, etc.

Thanks all. Still looking...
Got a couple more scrapyards to visit and double check with the council that they haven't been idiots.
