Etches has had his white g40 stolen in sheffield, white with black comp mo's
i know theres a few around our end so if anyone sees it can you let either of us know, or ring the police ASAP
Last seen in the crookes area parked outside his house this morning. noticed it was gone when he came home from work
plate is L926 PWB
-
Oh wow, that's pretty shit. I'll keep an eye out. Keep an eye out for parts popping up.

Apparently someone tried to nick the other white G40 in sheffield few days ago too, tdh-syorks one
-
That's seriously shit. I'll be sure to keep a look out. Fingers crossed for a safe return.
-
Do we know if anyone has bought parts/visited both Etches and tdh-syorks houses in the alst fw weeks?
-
Hmmm I did hear about that. Pretty scary, it sounds like someone knew what they are after and were targeting them. Any ideas who it could be? I did wonder about that, has someone been to you both recently?
-
Tom aint bought or sold anything in a while. Toms just looks like a white polo, cos its a 1l g40 convert. but... its all stripped out so that could be a clue theres a trick under the bonnet.
-
I am sorry to hear about that,the theifing dirty fooookin smack rats ,why dont they go out and get a bastard job like everybody else ,or better still jump of the highest bridge they can find and do us all a favor.....i carnt stick somebody who takes something that you,ve worked hard for.... sorry for the langauge guys but it really gets my goat
-
Considering i've had this car since 07 and owes me at least 3gs, my first car aswell. Completely gutted
-
Can't think off top of my head who's been round last few months, no one I wouldn't trust anyway, sayin that u never know, gonna keep an eye out for newly registered forum members with few posts selling G40 spares, whoevers taken this has got to be local. Luckily they've only caused damage to mine, if I find them they'd best get ready.
-
Yeah I completely agree Tom, got to be someone local.
Etches I'd get a recent picture up of it plastered on every forum you can think of, all the vag ones, retro rides, sheffield forum etc. You never know the high exposure might make a difference.
-
also look on vaux forums, as the mos I believe are vaux offset.
sounds like someone wants a g40 engine at any cost. Which if its the case will be in an undeclared conversion i dare say
-
that really sucks.
I assume it's been reported to the police and what not?
I'd recommend getting pictures of it up on all the car forums you can like Sam said.
-
deffo get a picture. do you have a plate? my boss saw a white one in leigh the other day, wonder if it may be the same? i hadnt known of any white G40s round our way, he got a pic too
-
plate is L926 PWB
;)
-
There's a world of little turds out there just looking to fuck you up and I really feel sorry for Etches; it could be any one of us. With that in mind how about offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. If we were to stick a fiver in the kitty each for such an event, we could offer a reasonable sum and stick it on the forums. A willingness to defend ourselves might be a deterrent as well.
-
gutted for you i will keep a look out further up north for you
would be gutted if it was my g40,my work van got stolen today too
-
sorry i missed the plate earlier in the thread, i will get the pic off my boss on monday and pop it up on here just so we can check that its not yours!
hope that helps =]

What a shitter >:(, must be someone local. Did you have the engine number of your conversion? If so, log it knicked with the police/DVLA then at least it might find its way back quicker if its parted out! Any engine on Ebay with ground off number will be a big clue too.
-
Cant believe someone has stolen your car! I feel really gutted for you. There are some real low life's in this world! Hope the person gets caught and your car comes back to you!
Will keep an eye out around the somerset area.
-
get coulcil to check their cctv systems,
if you keep refreshing page it keeps upto date

-
I'll keep an eye out over this way. Its got to be someone who knows exactly what the car is.
-
Keep watching eBay, you may see someone braking a G40 or selling a whole load of parts, if you do see this then pretend to be interested and ask for year of vehicle and colour!
It's hard to keep a stolen motor now! Good luck
-
sorry for your loss dude, hope she comes back in one piece.
-
In an ideal world that sounds just fine, but when you get your pride and joy back and it's had the arse ragged out of it, your insurance isn't going to cover it. Insurance doesn't cover the skinned knuckles, the other things you do without in life and your time spent working on your car either. The only satisfaction you get in circumstances like this is finding out who and where...then
-
Bad times lads. I really hope you get your pride and joys back. I can't imagine how it'd feel to have something you love so much and have spent so long working on nicked. I really hate the 'take what I want' attitude of some of the scum we have to live amoungst.
-
I had a thought that someone may be using the G40 register thread to target cars, but neither of these two recent successful thefts are on the list.
-
As Pete G40 says, the only way these thefts are going to work is as un-declared conversions. There's too small a pool of cars to hide them otherwise. Also, any ways and means suggested on this forum of catching the Kuntz responsible are probably being monitored by them. If you've got something worth while to contribute, PM the idea to the guys who've been screwed.
-
I've always been a bit concerned about the register just being used a a target list for thieves but it doesn't seem to be the case here if these two werent even on it.
-
Still no word from the coppers more than a week on. Looks like saving up for a new car, being a student its not guna be easy!
-
I wouldn't rely on the coppers to get back to you, personally after a week I'd be giving them a call for any new info.
Best of luck mate. I really hope you get it back in good condition.
-
UPDATE!!
Someone has been arrested!
Its apparently in a scrap yard in attercliffe and tom is going to go down at lunch, hes at work and works right by there.
we dont know how much is left though, because the police havent been down to see.
will keep you updated!
-
wow
im glad its been found, but with that info i think it will be in a very sorry state, we can all but hope!
there aint another in there is there?
-
Toms told me it was seen on truck, and then the po-po went and arrested the guy with the truck after, and the car was already at the scrappy.
fingers crossed they didnt use the claw to take it off the truck :/ also it might have already had bits off it depending on when it was taken there.
They are going down to have a look at 12pm
The scrappy is called Walter Heselwood ltd.... walter best watch his arse, cos hes gonna get raped for taking a stolen car with no v5!
-
Glad its been found! Hope its ok as well.
-
This is good news; just hope the wee beastie isn't shafted.
-
Every car at that place looked completely fucked, cant see how thats recycling. A guy who had no teeth said that they were shut. Odds are that its completely fucked. Coppers coming round monday morning ill be giving her plenty of info. Gutted though cos the cars that i saw where the guy took it were mashed
-
Hope the sod who owns the place ends up with no teeth too. If it came in on a truck then he probably knows who it came from too.
-
if you get wheels and engine back at least, thats some consolation. And hopefully recieving stolen goods at least!
-
Glad its been located, like you say he should know who he got it off. As you've normally got to sign for it to them so if he's a numpty and used his real name maybe in for some luck prosecuting! I had to sign my V5 over to them and another one of their forms when I scrapped my track car.
Hope its in a salvageable condition!
-
Call Walter on 0114 244 2042

Glad to hear there may be culprits apprehended :) The sad thing is though, being a metal recyclers and not a car breakers means its probably been cubed (baled). These places are always surrounded with knicked stuff like robbed church roof lead, bronze memorials etc. Its likely to be a Pikey who robbed your car got cash and left fake residence >:( I reckon the alloys might still be knocking around the back somewhere though.
-
my missus's uncle used to work there, he said theyre dodgy as fuck there and should all be locked up, the number of insurance scams they used to pull off was unreal, he told me of crushing 3 brand new mini coopers once and also a 3door rs500 all for insurance claims.
i'd say lock all the fuckers up for taking cars without logbooks,
-
Any news? :-\
-
Not yet, the coppers keep putting off coming round for a statement. It feels like i have been put on a non urgent list as they presume my cars a cube right now
-
so where is the car exactly?? id be round there for sure to just check the condition?
-
why have you not gone to the scrapyard? confused! if it was my car i would be down there kicking off or at least use some bolt cutters and get your car back with a load of mates!
-
Its not a scrap yard, its a metal yard. They wont let you in to look to start. Its as said in one of the above posts in
http://www.heselwood.com/
which is in attercliff. In that side of town you dont just go breaking into em, that sort of folk do not give a shit about the law.
So I am waiting for the police officer to come round and explain what they are doing.
-
but surely if it is there, the police get it straight away, god damn it will be raped by now, what fucking cocks
so have you been down and looked or anything?
-
but surely if it is there, the police get it straight away
i agree!
i still dont get why you have not been! it may be a metal yard but they have your car!
lol i can see it now if that was any of my friends or even a friend of a friends car we would be down there in a big group lots of cars and a couple of 4x4' and found out what was going on!
-
I kind of agree..
but the other part of me thinks it might be dead anyway so keep out - added to the fact that attercliffe is one place in sheffield i would definately not venture after dark!
-
I tryed to get in to have a look but they dont open to general public only to metal traders. Coppers have put me off more than a week now ffs!
The fact that ive been burgled today only adds to how pissed off i am!
-
come to cumbria mate, other than floods and a nutter that went round shooting folk its nice.
-
I`d walk into that yard Armed.
But thats me and i`m with Jules and the fact that one day i may do time and justify it for murdering some thieving scum.
-
I hate to ask, but have you heard any news?
-
Weird that you would ask that mate , the coppers rang me this morning and came round at 11. Apparently they are going to the scrap yard tmz, the guy who took the car will prob be taken to court and im going to give a witness statement. THe copper managed to get a pic of my car and a 5 page statement about it from me. Told her about the restoration,work and cost of the car so will have to see what happens. Getting my new car tmz will let you guess what it is lol.
Would be nice to get some compensation though from my old one.
-
Any updates? x
