Well guys and girls its a miracle I know. Through the powers of face book, b31voices page, it was spotted outside a house this morning, then driving, then at its third sighting outside another house, I got there to find it. No sign of scum but got car, Albite needing new lock set, possibly colum and a good service. With police compound now awaiting soco. See they don't all vanish.

That's great to hear, please please get some good security on it because no doubt it will try to be taken again, you know the mindset of "well I stole it once easily enough may as well do it again"

Great news to hear you got it back. Did you see last weeks Top Gear? Jeremy Clarkson showed the nation how to start a Nova without the key...so I blame him. Get yourself some sort of security fitted.

Cheap tracker is an ace idea as well, made using an old phone

The "flip the hazzard switch" is common knowledge i think... I was told it when i bought my first mk1 nova by a 15 year old kid... That and it doesnt work on early novas like this one.. Only works on the later ones.. Glad the OP got it back... To little of these old nova's left now. |

Glad you got it back! We got a mates car back like this - I found it before the police! Great news to hear you got it back. Did you see last weeks Top Gear?

To little of these old nova's left now. Yeah, everyone in my school knew this back in the 90's  My mate was shown how to break in to his Nova by a dodgy mate when he locked his keys in it (going back to the 90s again) - took 2 seconds with no damage to anything! They really need aftermarket alarm/immobilisers |

It is a miracle you got this fine car back, superb!
I cannot believe that the little ball sack the pinched it had the nuts to drive it around, what a bleedin' liberty...!!!
All I can do is echo what others have said and urge you to get it fully alarmed and get a tracker on it.
Well done, I hope it gets back to you very soon so you can start to enjoy it again.

Disclock every time for old Vauxhalls, not worth toerags time trying to get them off. Glad to hear you got it back in one piece, but seriously, no more relying on standard Vauxhall 'security' on these things, get it sorted! |

It's usually locked in a garage. Typically I had to work late and was left out till I got back. Alarm is a definite now.

Wouldn't bother with an alarm, just a disklok, as it's a more visible deterrent.
