110 TD5 Stolen
My 110 TD5 DCPU was stolen on Sunday night / Monday morning from Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.

CCTV at the end of the road show 2x undesirables and a low loader around 01:30, so no doubt towed to avoid dealing with steering wheel lock and pedal lock.

Brief description:

Silver (previously green)
Silver cheqeur plate
Cream rear canvas
Thule roof bars
SVX wheels
New rear quarter chassis 2 months ago

Really sorry to hear of yet another one, and feel for your loss. I'll keep my eyes open.

This is getting much too close.

Sorry to hear this😞

A good reminder that just because they can’t get to the pedals and there’s no steering wheel , doesn’t mean it won’t be gone in the morning. 😞😞 2002 td5 90 county hardtop

Sorry to hear....its disgusting behaviour from what sounds like a professional gang and a reminder that a physical barrier in needed to stop towing.

certainly an argument for ensuring the wheels aren't straight when you engage any Spinny Orange thing.........

They unbolt the steering arm to straighten the wheels up. It’s only a split pin and a nut after all... it’s the massive weak point in all expensive steering protections.

It’s still worth turning your wheels.

It’s an added complication that the “gentlemen “ have to overcome, even if it only takes a minute🤔 2002 td5 90 county hardtop

OK for those living in a bit more of a rural local:

A trigger wire attached to an external starter kill switch (so you don't forget and drive off....) might be enough to give them a brown trouser moment.

Bloody love it..... even though I’m not in a rural location.

Just need to think of a way to rig it for the occasional times I park it overnight when away from home in hotel carparks or side streets. Needs to be really easy to set.

Just rig it so it takes a proper shell and discharges on unauthorised moving of your vehicle Whistle

I wandered through one of these down a track once... to say I sh@t myself is an understatement. Reminds me of a good old army trip flare.
