Stolen - Miami Blue J132KCK

[Coo]

Well, after all my hard work getting my Nova ready for the road again, it's been stolen.

Stolen from Hotel car park on Friday night, this is my first chance for proper internet access, had posted it on facebook.



Parked in the Best Western hotel just off A1(M) east of Leeds.

I had just put a new engine in a 1.3S with four branch and full stainless, it had Bilstein coilovers and just plain steelies.
Cant see me getting it back.
Police not too helpful being under manned and under resourced.

No security, hadn't got round to that.

That sucks mate

Gutted mate, i saw it on fb and shared it about, hope something good comes back.

[Coo]

Cheer guys for sharing it..

Anyone who has no security on their Nova - do it now.
I thought my wee car was a shed that no one would want - but they're easy to steal.
Learnt my lesson the hard way!

That's a shame mate and Iam sorry to hear about it, I do hope it gets recovered back to you soon !

Cant beleve that realy feel for you pal and I hope it turns up, ive not got a alarm or immobiliser but it makes me wonder if my snap off boss is enough after somone else's car was stolen and they dumped it behind my nova

[kellynovaaaa]

Oh no Sorry to hear about your car, fingers crossed that you get her back! Reading things like this makes me so angry!

Sorry to hear about your Nova, I have had several attempts done on my cars over the years. I always have them alarmed, immobilised and a visible steering lock. Although a steering lock only takes a minute to remove, a minute is a long time when your trying to nick something.

My mate had a burgundy two door saloon afew years ago and wouldn't buy a steering lock as "it looks awful" and he thought he lived in a better area of town. I still delight in going on about having to view his burnt out Nova because he wouldn't spend £4 in poundstretchers

Someone tried to seal my Nova earlier this year but thankfully they were unsuccessful. Doesn't matter whether it is a minter or a shed, thieves know old vauxhall locks are easy, and the doors bend easy.

Anyway sorry to hear another one has been nicked b ut, you never now, perhaps they haven't burnt it and you might get it back?

Advice to everyone with a Nova, alarm, immobilise and visible detterents, puts the thief off trying as much as stops them, prevention.

Hope you get it back. My Dads garage was broken into a few nights ago. Luckily the nova is pretty well immobilised but still a bit worried they'll come back for another go before I get a chance to move it.

While mine is off the road and in my lockup ive taken the ecu out of it and I leave the doors and and boot unlocked to save any damage getting in to it and the steering wheel is always taken off even if im only parked up for a hour or so
