Cheers riggy,you just saved me a load of mither!!!!
lol i got to mine before the recovery people did haha , police guy was waiting with it ,
says to me how are you goin to start it ,
i replyed , the same way they did and stuck a screw driver in the cap lol
Lol!Just spoke to insurance and the recovery lot,all sorted but still going to leave me £165 out of pocket......I get my car stolen and I have to pay for the privilege!!How tight is that!
Tis fcukin ****e aint it that yore the one who ends up out of pocket, but make sure in future you remove the kinglead, the plug lead from the coil to the distributor not being nasty but if you dont know which it is then someone will show you im sure or ask someone to post a pic, and if you pull the cap/horn from your steering wheel on a night and plug the two horn wires together then replace, if someone does try to steal her agian it will make a right row as soon as ignition comes on.
As for culprits if you def know who it is go round or get someone to go round and explain to them that messing with your car is not a good idea and not to do it again if you get me!
Unfortunately thats the problem with old cars, either have it written off or have to pay to retrieve it.
At least you got it back and the twerps didnt burn it out etc... stupid question but have you told the police you know who did it> Maybe if you can prove it then have the costs recovered.
a happy ending, glad you got your car back...
i work at one of these placesQuote:

So my advice is to claim now, full whack prices for anything that needs replacing or is marked etc, ie new locks, keys, door, glass paintwork etc.
A 50 pence rocker switch saved a GSi i had when someone tried to nick it, just fit a cut off in the fuel pump wiring somewhere in the car, simple and very effective.
The merits of living in the hood i see!!
Ive had two Nova's stolen in the last 5 years, one of which i was milliseconds from pulling the pikey little **** out the drivers door and stamping on his face at 6am one Sunday morning!!
As Phil Sutton said, find out who did and drive there car through there house!!
I was involved in a "little" lol RTA years ago, some months later after the other vehicle had been repaiared and re-sprayed some little toe rag set fire to it :D
glad you got it back :thumb: but still chop there fingures off!
ive just read most of the thread/comments and so glad you got your motor back.like craig says,your insurance will go up now because of the stolen car bit,so id be claiming for a top nothch job getting your car back on the road,imo leave it for around 6 month,then go pay a visit to the scum on a dark night.
Not an option to be honest,if I did pay them a visit id find my house fire bombed the day after,they are a dodgy family constantly in and out of prison and its exactly why they get away with everything!Got my fingers crossed forensics comes up with something,they have only just got out of prison anyway so they will be going straight back in!
Im selling the car as soon as its back and repaired and changing insurance providers with my new car so I wont be affected.
glad you got it back in one piece and i hope the b@stards get what they deserve.
had my first car nicked 3 years ago, a 1.2 corsa. police found it same day about 40 miles away out of fuel. it cost me a days wages and £155 to get it back.
they got the lads that did it and apparently the stole approx 30 novas/corsas and got sent down for about 18 months iirc.
they must have thrashed the living daylights out of the poor little thing as it never ran right after i got it back..........
Who was that staggy and where were they from? ive heard summat about a group like that before
well i was up from 4am trying to find it,m found it on a drive way nearsome flats so informed the police it was stolen but i wasnt leaving it there for them to nick. so stole it backQuote:

Thumbscrews, candlewax to the eyes and concentrated nitric acid to somewhere really personal are just a few things i would so love to do to anyone i ever caught at my baby lol
it was my little baby casa yupQuote:

Bend the door back, repair the steering lock and get it alarmed.
Hope the CSI boys catch the little feckers!
i had my 1litre brown beast of a nova stolen from me ages ago, i only had it for spares aswell, they stole a car to get to mine, burnt it out and drove mine away later to be caught by the police. i had to pay the recovery back plus the storage and then the fees to get it scrapped as they hit a wall in it, no good is it, wheres the justice there? and all they got for punishment was community service! pah!

You'll keep your NCB, but obviously you've got to answer when they ask about any thefts or incidents etc.. during the last 5 years.
you have to wait and see about insurance.
when you get your renewal you'll know then.
but you have to tell them that you never made a claim in the end as it was not worth it.
is the car in the recovery place on the a41 by backford?
it is srs1,forensics still havent sorted it so cant pick it up til monday unfortunately.the good thing is my uncle is good mates with the bloke who owns it so hes going to see if he can call in a favour and maybe get the fee reduced,its £105 for the towing and apparently they had to winch it or something so its an extra £60 on top!!!really annoyed cos it didnt even need towing,they could have called me,id have been in the place the car was dumped in 10 mins and could have drove it to the recovery place myself as there was no ignition/steering lock damage!
this still had to be paid for too after it was stolen it was outside my garage for 5 hours usually locked up in garage>Quote:

i know who did it but same story they are idiots and will do anything to get back at you,police knew who took it the guy had just done 2 years inside and was on bail he got nothing not enough actual proof even with witnesses who heard him bragging to his mates
christ trev,i thought i was annoyed,dread to think how you must of felt!After the past couple of days ive decided if i come into any money im setting up a recovery business!
if you do charge less for stolen recoveryQuote:

Definately decided to sell it as looking at it now,it doesnt feel like mine.If anyone on here is interested I would like it to go to someone who knows what they are getting and doesnt think its "only a nova"
may be cause the steering lock is broken the black connector should clip on :thumb:
why is there blood inside? wasnt crashed was it?
get pcis up lol
Will go and take some pics 2moz and get them up.Still not sure on exact details,police have been crap but have managed to put two and two together from a report of a robbery the same night,they robbed beer and wine which was found in the car and the beer fridge had been punched through,hence the blood loss.I still cant believe its in practically the same condition bodywork wise as it was when it left,its a miracle it wasnt burnt out with all the evidence they found
Personally, as the police wont do bugger all a bit it I'd take the law into my own hands and settle it that way. :thumb:
very lucky i agreeQuote:

glad it came back in a 'good' shape. most of them are found worse.
Ok, your ignition barrel may need changing (probably best under the circumstances) Try to get one from a Cavalier, they have a different type of Key which is harder to replicate, fit a kill switch in the Glove Box or somewhere out of sight and dont sell the car. I know you've probably lost all faith in the car, having it stolen will dishearten you but look at it this way, you got it back with very little damage, you're lucky. Get some pics up and let us Professionals assess the situation. :thumb:
