I've been lurking on the forums for a while and am obviously very gutted that this is my first post.
My mint condition LT 31 Florida was stolen from Hackney, East London on the night of the 13th October. I'm absolutely heartbroken - was up visiting friends and really annoyed that someone was able to get past the immobiliser and steering lock with such apparent ease. There was loads of our stuff in the back, including an awning, a flexifoil kite, windbreakers and a load of personal stuff (clothes, dog food, etc). This van is in almost mint condition with almost no rust and is obviously left hand drive. The wheel trims have been changed since the photo was taken, and are after market cheap items. (Of the two photos, the UK plates are the current ones). The blue and yellow stripe on the rear near side wing has been rubbed away (a funny thing to describe but very difficult I imagine to repair). Please PM me or reply to the forum if you spot it. Thanks. |

You have a PM with some advice and my contacts. I know your van as I live round the corner. We had our T3 nicked last January, so I've been in the same boat. As I put in my PM, give me a ring if you need some advice or want to rant over a pint.

It makes me sick just thinking about that. Looking out in W London area. Where on earth do these vans end up ? Eastern Europe ?

just been talking with the mrs and thats exactly what she said. cant see what you`d do with a stolen florida in the uk, be a bit obvious if they broke it and cant see how they`d pass it on.

Sorry to say this, it could end up anywhere in mainland Europe. Who asks at customs on the way out of the UK any questions about vehicle ownership etc. I'll keep an eye out on my travels round the north of England just in case as these LT Floridas are rare as rocking horse shit up here. This sort of thing makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Good luck and I just hope the thieving bastards are caught and the van comes home.
