Stolen 960
I have just seen this on gumtree, I think it has been stolen but there seems to be a bit more to the story.

Seems odd he can't put the name of the bloke he suspects on there but CAN put the name of his suspected accomplice!
More to this than meets the eye i think! Let's face it, you don't often know the name of the person who stole your car! Maybe it was up for sale and the guy came for a test drive and disappeared, who knows?

If only somebody could come up with some kind of Government body to deal with these kind of things ? A force of some kind that could help people recover stolen goods and the like..........:teeth_smi le:

I was thinking similar Mark - perhaps call them the "Stolen Vehicle Squad".

Seems a bit rum...I contacted the guy via Gumtree to find out more and have shared the ad on a couple of FB groups. I think there is more than meets the eye here too.

Like Dave says, a bit strange that he knows the guys names that took it.
On Retro Rides forum the stolen section gets a new post nearly every day about another Ford being taken. Car crime isn't kept in check and isn't a priority for the police. |

I spoke to him on Gumtree:
Me: Hi Derek, So sorry to hear about your 960 being stolen. If you can let me know the name and address that Gumtree wouldn't let you post in the advert (that of the scumbag that stole it) that would be great-your ad has already been shared to the Volvo Owners Club forum and we have rallied the troops to do some sleuthing...I'll also flag this up on all of the Facebook Volvo groups and get as many people as possible onto it. Let's get this sorted! Speak soon, Phil --------------- Derek: Hi Phil. Thanks for getting in touch it very much appreciated I have an ad on facebook but I don't think i have all the settings correct. it may be because its listed in a group. Bay & Sell London Southampton. its my first time on facebook still trying to get to grips with it . here is the add. Help me Find MY Volvo 960 £250 reward for information that leads to the recovery OR CAN ANY ONE FIND THE ADDRESS HE USED TO TAX THE CAR N807JWB Stolen By A man calling himself MR L W REEVES last seen in Southampton this man /( nut job) has a phone no 07365 278821 & 07979 893160 but will not answer my calls or texts last known address 48 Biddelesgate court upper bugle street Southampton. But not at that address now. I THINK! Has a Known accomplice Mr David Miles, who may be in Weybridge Car may be in a garage or parked off the road as now not taxed Please contact me on 07818554671 Derek.. I will Pay £250 Cash or paypal for the recovery of MY car ! INFORMATION OR RECOVERY OF ANY OTHER HELP OR INFORMATION GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED Thanks again Phil. Regards Derek. ----------- Derek (again): Hi Again Phil my email address is derek.wrt@gmail.com derek.mcgowan It seems odd that it's not reported as stolen, the first port of call for me would have been the police. I think perhaps he's trying to frame someone or it's a setup.

Hmmm, it has a lot of pointers to a scam, could be genuine though. Still no idea how the alleged thief got hold of the car though!

With the best will in the world, 960’s aren’t worth a lot of money at the moment so unless this was a concours car or held special family meaning £250 seems like a big reward to pay which sets my alarm bells ringing.
There is a scam gong at the moment which involves buying something but someone else uses their PayPal details, something to do with the way refunds are done. Can’t remenber the details but it’s happening with bikes. If it doesn’t seem right then it probably isn’t, there are so many ways to scam people that are new it’s bonkers.

The car has a MOT (no advisories) until June.
However it’s not taxed or on SORN. Very odd.
