Someone's nicked my BX
Someone's nicked my BX
Just to alert members in the hope of a possible sighting. Someone stole my BX from outside my place either late Friday night or Saturday morning.
It was stolen in Walsall West Mids and is a dark grey metallix BX Meteor minus the rear spoiler. Reg Number was H834 KKV.
As reported here in the past, it was converted to run on LPG and I am surprised the miscreants would have been able to get it going easily if they didn't know this fact.
Just thought I would bring my misfortune to the club's attention. KP

Price of steel
These days, they are nicking older cars to weigh in for scrap.
The most upsetting thing is being unemployed, the economy of the LPG meant I could afford to run a car. Heavens knows what I will get in settlement forom the insurance. KP

The double take
Yes, I did exactly the same. I looked up the street to check I hadn't parked it there and forgotten and even round the front of the building where I never park. I then went back and looked at where the car was parked the night before.
There's been no report of it being found so far and the annoyance is beginning to grow. For example, it is highly unlikely I will be able to afford to run a car on petrol (as the BX was LPG).
I have enough problems on my plate at the moment, I don't need some little joyriding toerag adding to them by taking my stuff. KP

Probably already cubed
The nearest place of that nature here, they are crushed while you wait.

Lots of things are illegal
If people took notice of what's legal and illegal, my BX would still be standing out there in the parking bay.
"Needs must and the Devil drives" they say - Scrap metal crushed into a cube is just that and a few quid in the pocket of some gypo.

Still stinging
Yes, I am still stinging over the loss. Not so much that it was a Citroen or any other brand, but as I said the other day to someone, I don't have many more branches to hit before I hit rock bottom and this has not helped.
I don't think it will turn up intact now and the insurance company say I should be offered a settlement in a few days (like as if that is any comfort).
Thanks for the support (everbody).

Suposedly but I'm led to believe that some places less scrupulous than others and if it was cut up first and lobbed into the back of a van or another scrapped car then it would probably go un noticed I'm afraid.MULLEY wrote:Isnt it illegal to scrap a car without showing the scrappy the V5????
Let us know how you get on Soxer and I hope you either get it back or receive a fair pay out for it and find something else.
Vauxhall apologist.
Expected payout
Well, once the excess is taken into account, I think I will get between 3 and three fifty. It's not going to buy much as a replacement and I certainly won't find an LPG powered vehicle.
