Stolen Morris Van
I have had my Morris van stolen from Kingswood Bristol. It was taken between 930pm 25/10/09 and 805am 26/10/09, it is a 1970 morris badged van it is damask red, has a small dent in both of the rear doors, has custom made wing mirrors on the driver and passenger doors, there are no holes in the top of the wings apart from that it is all original including an original rubber floor matt. The van was brought by my grandad new in 1970.
Would very much like to find it. If anyone sees or hears about one matching my van please lt me know.

i know this might be a long shot ,but is there any cctv cameras in the area?
mate of mine had his imp stolen from a car park in sheffield he use to take the steering wheel off[little 10" jobby] and the roter arm but it disappered went to police and they studyed the cctv and low and behold 1 tranny recovery whinching his car on the back
telephone numbers and company name on the van, one visit to the scrap yard later and theres his imp in bits in the company building.
but he got it back and the yard was closed down because most of the cars there were stolen.

Can you post a picture? - I know we all know what a van looks like, but a picture may help. Am sure everyone will keep an eye out.

Not very attractive, but would a good old fashioined wheel-clamp prevent tow-away thefts?

Re: Stolen Morris Van
STOLEN!!
I would STRONGLY advise Minor owners to make a note of their vehicles' cab/body numbers!
Do NOT take the plate off - VERY important! Simply ensure the number is noted correctly and written on the V5 or somewhere safe!
Therefore ANY Minor with a missing/tampered cab/body number plate should be treated with caution - or that's the plan!
Minor LCVs can be accurately dated, thus "lemons" easily established.
This is MY advice!!
