if it was stolen the 1st night then he was more than likely followed home, also dont be surprised if you find the logbook wasnt sent off and you dont recieve your V5, i would also check vehicle listings as its quite common you will see it for sale again, albeit in a different part of the country, where did he find the car advertised?

the house was not broken into right? so therefore they had their own key's, it's obviously a previous owner or somwhere that has worked on teh car recently, i dont see somebody skilled enough to bypass an immobiliser targeting old pajero's do you?

You would think you would notice somebody following you, but if they did they would probably have done it before and been quite good at it, also i would like to think if you were giving it some (which you implied you were) you would be concentrating on whats infront of you rather tahn whats behind?

There aren't really any other way's in which the car could have been taken unless it was taken by key, you were unlucky enough to be targeted 1st night by choppers via a flat bed or so i would think

when you buy a car of someone you fill in your address on the regiserd keeper section.
the owner sends that off.

he knows your address

if i was to knick a car i would watch it closely for a few nights before making a move - know the area/people/times its there etc

no one would be daft enough to knick it the first time they saw it?

no as i didn't realise until the next morning that the car wasn't from my dad's street until he told me, as the boy round corner had one similar so thought it was him

Still nothing, There was a possible sighting in barnsley near marr lodge. Ive now got a Corsa as a courtesy car, Its the Brand new model, I advise no one should buy one, Its toss, 1.4 SRi, Visibility is shocking, It is SO under powered, I honestly cant say anything good about it, Apart from it hand brakes turns nicely
