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.

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!

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!

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,
