As a few of you know my FL2 was stolen New Year's Eve and exactly a month later it turned up at a Guy Salmon Dealership.

I'm glad to let you all know that it has now been written off and i have a new HSE auto on order.

What a relief and i get an '08 plate.

Thanks for all the messages.

Hi Mate

cheers

Every cloud does really have a silver lining!

More of interest is how it got written off, or maybe you will not share those details with us  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Great New on the recovery

Any news on the toe rags that stole it and selled it to GS?

I presume its ID was changed when the conned GS into buying it? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The car was stolen from my house. They broke in and stole the keys.

They wrote it off because i wouldn't accept it back after i had a look at it. long process, but worth the wait.

No news on the scum bags, but to be honest you don't get a good feeling from the coppers. Freelander 2 HSE Auto TD4. Privacy Glass. DAB Radio. Upper Chrome Mirror Covers. Tread Plates Front/Back. Cargo Net. SafeGuard, Santorini Black, Moon Roof

A terrible story - they break in the house first!!
It seems we need alarms fitted to our houses as well as our beloved FL2's

However I can really understand why didnt accept it back after the scum bags had been driving it around.

I heard a story a while back from Bedford (my UK homeplace) where parked cars where broken into during daylight shopping hours and nobody passing reacted to the car alarms going off  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Unfortunately we have all had that neighbour who has a dodgy aftermarket alarm which seems to be an alarm covering the whole postcode, so that even if you get up to take a leak in the middle of the night his talking, multi-toned crappy car alarm goes off......and worst of all they sleep through the first ten minutes of it!

So it does not surprise me that people continue about what they were doing before the alarm went off. House alarms generally seem to be the same....... On the other side I bet in most cases if you went over to look why an alarm was going off you'd find the owner there and he'd tell you to mind your own business

We all need to be a lot more reactive to things going on around us!

Obviously nobody else will want to buy this vehicle unless they fully understand it's history.This car will probably come back into the marketplace so maybe you could post the registration number on this forum,so future buyers can avoid it! Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys

it true what you say on house alarms

One of the houses oposites alarm went off a coulple of years ago, just after we had brought my son home from hosipital where he was born 6 week early and spent the first few weeks.

2am Alarm starts going, baby starts screaming possible just because he did LOTS at the time, or he was woken up.

I looked out of the window and saw shadows moving around at the house got dressed and went over.

Only to be confronted by the owner, who had obviously had too much to drink, and a bloke who obviously had a large set of beer googles on (he'ed need them with her).

She didn't even know what her alarm code was, she was that ........... whilst walking back to my house 'he' managed to stop it by ripping it of the wall

Whilst this was going on nobody else even shouted to say keep the noise down, even the next door neighbour with kids of his own
