Morris Minor Owners Club

a couple of weeks ago my navy blue 1958(ish) 2 door morris minor 1000 saloon was slolen from outside my boyfriends house in redruth, cornwall...im extreemly upset about this and on top of it being gone my insurence company are now giving me greif about it as well!!!

all i want is my baby back!!!

its registration is 158XUE and has a cornish "kunt" sicker on the back under the number plate. also the rear left weel arch thingy is a bit crunched up...

thats all i can think of to define it really....it also has a Corsa "C'mon" donn in the rear right window.

if anyone sees or hears about anything that might be my moggie then please let me know...

my e-mail is smile_be_happi@hotmail.com.

thank you all.

Eyes open in Somerset, fwiw. My sympathies

why do they steel morrisminors and what do they do with them. i dont understand, hope you get her back soon.grandad

Another one..... what on earth do people want with them. If it's the steel, then the merchants must be dodgy.

A dodgy scrap man? Surely not. Plain fact is that they're just easy to steal, and some people are just evil SWEARING MODERATEDs

all registered scrap yards should be inspected every few days . all vehical numbers taken to trace all deliveries to them and nocars crushed until they have been checked.yes it would cost but judging high price of scrap they could afford it.we have lot of gipsys go past where i live they are making a fortune there are several of them that go by 6 days aweek fully loadedthey have to be on a grand aweek. and very little over heads, stolen deisel,pay no tax,they have been running past here for 2 years mabe longer. some of the transits acually have one car on top of another, and definatly not safe,apperantly we have the chinese to thank for the high price of scrap. i will shut up now i have had my moan about the didds

They are gd, you can't just crush a car without the V5 etc. All cars have to be disposed of legally such as the oil has to be drained and disposed of correctly. Cars generally have lots of un-environmentally friendly stuff in them a lot of scrap yards are closing as they can't support the latest legislative requirements.

I guess the way around it is to cut the thing up yourself. If you are doing this to lots of stolen cars at the same time someone will knock on your door eventually wondering what the noise is about!

Since it seems to have been missed - *THIS WAS SARCASM*

Sorry, should have acknowledged it. It made me laugh

We pro'lly should shut up and stop distracting from the post...

dont worry about rambling...im just glad people are reading this.

although all that talk of cutting cars up is making me a little queesy...i dont think iv taken better care over anyting iv ever owned exept my moggie and i hate the thouhgt of him being torn apart

Are the Police being helpful and actively looking?

no...this is cornwall...theres about one police person for the entire county!

but they are aware and its hard to miss with the big "kunt" sticker on the back...if they dont pick it up as a stolen car they'll be sure to pick it up for that

I think the Police situation is much the same everywhere - unless there's a royal in the county. Still, fingers crossed and (as I said) eyes open. Here's hoping it gets spotted

i think i am right that in lincoln you can dispose of a car ,providing it has no no plates no battery , and on a trailor, grandad

Fingers crossed Amy, and keep pestering them.

Why are the insurance company being funny Amy? Any ideas?

I hope you do find your car by the way, my fingers are crossed also.

insurance company are being funny cause they didnt get off there arces and confirm the value like they said they would and now they cant cause i dont have it so there making me send them loads of pictures and stuff but i dont have the survice history cause i kept that in the car...along with a lot of other stuff including a £150 coat, a tool kit, all my manuels and i think a camera?

not happy.

and thatks for the support!!

eek that sounded sarcastic...i did actually mean that, thankyou all very much!

No worries you have every reason to be upset.
