They lost the chap following them after going down a dirt track!

Anyway, it was a tree surgeon's Defender I think?

Yea I like the reporters use of "racing away" he or she has clearly never driven a defender, especially one which appears to be a tdi.

Who says that? Think you have to reconsider

You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Hmmmmmm hope the G4S guy was ok that kind of thing must shake you up.

18k split in half, 9 grand each, if they got a job on say 20k a year this would be about six months earnings, banged up for a year and a half with a loss of earnings 30k.
Well that sounds like common sense.

Not exactly oceans 11 or the Italian job was it! The key phrase here is "get skates on mate"

I sincerely hope that all that use this excellent forum have learn from this debacle and pledge NEVER to use their Defender powers for evil.
