hi rob
go on www.hmvf.co.uk and jack is the main man but you don't have go through jack just put up a thread on the tracked section with a pic and explanation. hmvf is definately the place where all the top mv guys in the uk check on things and i doubt there is anything going on in the uk that someone on the forum doesn't already know about. they also have an online magazine called pathfinder which is worth a try but you would have to go through jack for that.

give it a go, it's free and really does have a wide reach

an extremely disturbing story. but alas not the first time this has happened, An Iltis jeep was stolen from storage here in Canada not long ago.

My own fear is that a collector would not do this as a collector knows the community is small and people know people, and know parts etc...also the vast vast majority of collectors recognize the historical value and appreciate each others efforts... my fear is the scrap yards and this would be the first place to look.

Sadly breakers are not a reputable bunch, and recognize instantly that something is obviously stolen. many many cases of theives stealing bronze and brass plaques off cenotaphs in Canada... these end up at the breakers, 100% obviously stolen, but no breaker ever calls the cops.

A partial answer i suppose, if stuff is stored elsewhere is to advise the property owner to NEVER let the items off the property without direct personal contact from you...no notes, no verbal assurances from strangers.. only direct personal contact...and very sturdy locks and chains.
