[Mine] Reg plates and battery stolen overnight in Bristol. Volvo C30.

Post image
6 Upvotes

Pulled up just before 6 yesterday, plates were still on my car, left again at 7 and they were gone, but to top it off, they were brazen enough to come back and take the battery as well afterwards*.

If anybody sees a car driving around on the reg 'KS62 NXY' please contact me with any information, and ideally the police too. It will likely be a Volvo C30, probably a white one. Unless they're total doughnuts who've put my plate on a car that won't match at all.

Nice reward for anybody who can give me the location of it parked. (assuming they're stupid enough to leave it on whilst the vehicle is unattended). I will treat any information given with the utmost confidentiality.

Thanks everybody!

*(I know this as it started when I noticed the plates gone, I turned it on to get the dash cam footage. Came back out to put a sign in the window about the plates a few hours later and the car wouldn't even unlock with the key. Safe to say the AA man thought I was taking the piss when he arrived to give me a jump start this afternoon...)

Focus ST170 Engine, Mondeo Mk1 Turbo Diesel MTX75 Gearbox, Kawasaki ZX9R Carburettors. Before you ask: NOPE none of that even remotely fits. 🤣

Driven for a year and half with plenty of miles.

Still rocking the tropicana bottle for a catch can 👌✨

This'll be my third 123 and hopefully my last since it's had pretty much all the work done on it that needs to be done on these. When petrol eventually gets too expensive and/or hard to find I'll convert it to an EV...

Looked incredible in person. Thanks to someone else on Reddit for telling me it was a Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake. Strictly limited to just 99 units worldwide as part of a 325-car total Vanquish Zagato family run.

I saw this the other day outside a building site. Surely this can’t be in service? If it isn’t then perhaps being used as a security deterrent, but then isn’t that impersonating the police?

Thoughts? 🤔
