A shocking 68 Evo's stolen from MLR members. If it's of any use, there is a free to register website where you can add your stolen car (regardless of make or model) and there is a chance of someone who's looking to buy an Evo and been offered your stolen car to get in touch with you to let you know that they've seen it. Here is the link http://www.twoc.co.uk/ Sorry if I've come across as angry in this thread, but the theft of people's pride and possessions, and all their efforts to be able to get them in the first place annoys the hell out of me. ![]() ![]() Regards Mark

![]() My mate got caught the other day for being two days out on his road tax, he said he saw a police car parked in the middle of the road on Chevrons reading a newspaper, not even watching the road for **** sake. He then must have got picked up on the incar computer by his registration from the camera sitting on the roof; he then put the paper down and went off and chased. I'm not doubting that he shouldn't have been pulled, as road tax evaders should be caught! But when your being paid big bucks, and tieing up resources (car etc...) at least look for others maybe speeding, not wearing seat belts, on the phone etc... Lazy sodding police!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Regards Mark

I think this list could be very interesting, good work. Do you have the dates they were stolen so we can see how fast they are being nicked e.g. 10 per month?

there are bound to be more than this from here as when I did search word "stolen" 20 pages popped up, but I only listed the first 10. It would appear that more Evo's are getting stolen than we first thought, yeah we hear about them from time to time, But has anyone actually ever stopped and counted them before like we are attempting to do now. Regards Mark

The thing that strikes me is its evo's I-X that are taken they don't just target newer ones.
I for one don't believe the situation will never improve as the law is far too lenient with car thieves, they know what 'punishment' awaits them and its worth the risk. Until that changes we'll just have to try our best to keep them secure. Its a sad state of affairs.

![]() Agree with above that dates of theft would help if it can be added. |

its allways sad to hear of anyones car/pride and joy being stollen no matter what make or model, for most people there car is the second most expensive thing they own (after there house) and to hear of it being stolen or vandelised sickens me
i think people have a right to be angre and that the police should show a little more compation and spend more time finding these cars and bringing organised car theft figures down just my little rant |

The clutch was knackered, it slipped after i got it back, the brakes were cooked, and they had bumped into a hedge, though did little damage. The problem was they still had the keys so new lockset, new reciever for the remote locking, and alarm recoded. the police response was good as i was so quick to report it, and at 5 in the morning there are a lot of bored police up for a chase with an evo (coppers words ![]() I'm still running the same evo ![]() If people are concerned about this i can't believe clicky hasn't had more of a response, vehicle tracking and remote immobilisation seems the way forward to me Stu
