Yes that's the one .. they turned up smashed the drivers window destroyed the steering column and came back later that day and towed it up tilsmore road and half way up mill road with the transit following and loaded it up onto the transit there ... all this took place between 12.05pm and 3pm I discovered it missing around 3.20pm

Hi, Apparently early afternoon is a prime time to nick cars because it's a quiet time of day. Most people do their running about in the morning, have lunch, then settle down indoors or back at work and so there's not many people about and they have a couple of hours before the school run again or coming home for tea.
4x4s are nicked to steal caravans, if they get rumbled they can abandon the whole rig with no come back.
Colin

We just had certain people abandon two horses in a remote field after they moved on . When they were found one had already died that was skin and bones . The second had front legs so injured it was put down there and then .
No respect for vehicles , property humans or animals . The law should apply to everyone .

They wonder why people hate them so much??? just goes to show, if they have to think why the general public think this way, they may as well be exterminated! i hate thieves! remove a hand or a head, they won't do it again!

No offence, but it's hardly a desirable vehicle a late Escort van is it? I can only assume they were stealing to weigh it in or for parts for their own one. At least the police seizing their transit should hit them in the pocket.....until the steal another. Scumbags. At least you got it back!

Regardless of what they were going to do with it, its still stealing - the problem in this country is there isnt enough punishment of crimes to deter people. A friend of mine was attacked by a group of youths and beaten up badly - they got off with no punishment, so they will probably do it again for fun.

I wasn't detracting from the fact the scumbags tresspassed onto his property, broke into his vehicle and illegally removed it, HOWEVER it strikes me as a bit of an odd target, unless someone has a need for one or a neighbourly dispute escalated and they called the scrapman (it's happened to me before!!)

It is a Odd target for very little gain but any fully legit scrap merchant would not take from 12.05pm to 3pm to remove a vehicle plus they would load it up there and then not have to tow it with a separate vehicle to a different street ... and take a minimum of 3 people to do it ... Heathfield has recently been a target of thieves Fortunately I have several CCTV Videos and witnesses so its a good case .. Please could everyone keep a look out for the Mitsubishi As this is the main focus on this case at this time as it is believed to be connected to other thefts

If it was the one Just as you turn into sheepsetting lane from the Eastbourne road that one belongs to someone at the garage round the corner I think it could be R reg ... the one that came and stole our van was P245WHB I will get some more pics posted up ... does anyone know how I can add a video to the thread?
