Was the car parked/abandoned on a road?
Anyone know the situation if the car is parked in a private car park?

He's gonna be picking his bollocks and teeth off the floor with a pair of broken arms when the genuine owner of the car catches up with him.
Posting the whole story on a massively popular Ford internet forum probably wasn't the best day's work he ever did - not if he wants to keep his legs intact and keep the whole thing hush hush.
The real owner of the Escort must surely be either dead, in prison, in hiding, or on a witness protection plan.
I mean - people just don't leave rare, valuable and desirable performance cars laying around like so much scrap for any Tom, Dick or Harry to claim as his own.
If i'd pulled off a scam like that, I would keep it to my bloody self, I wouldn't tell anyone, not a bleedin' soul, and I certainly wouldn't go broadcasting it on sodding PassionFord.
I'd change the registration number, and tell anyone that asked that i'd taken out a loan and bought it from the other end of the country.
The bloke must have a deathwish.
It's all rather isn't it.
