Thefts at ICCCR

Unfortunately a few members were affected by thefts at the ICCCR.
At least 2 Semi-auto DS's had their hydraulic rubber covers taken on Sunday, but the following list is from Ewan's "jubilee" DS that was broken into on Sunday night after the Ukelele's

Theft was from the car on the main route from the main arena to campsite
(suggested by others as between 8-9 PM in the first part of the Ukulele
Orchestra). This is when people noticed their RHD DS's were targeted for gear
change rubber dashboard covers . Apparently people were asking stall holders for
these but they are no longer made.
Another visitor went (I think to Tom below but not sure) to buy a second pair of
front headrests as his first set were stolen on site. I am not aware of other
thefts apart from items in the hall by opportunists.
Doors were forced with a DS/ same era key and no damage was caused to the car. I
am very careful to hide things and fully lock my car at all times.
...
- I am so gutted I feel totally sick inside that a
fellow enthusiast would do this to another DS fan.I am still in total disbelief
this has happened!
All in all it was a massive haul, a few people and would have taken another car
to be right next to mine to be loaded and not much space for other things to be
in there. I.e maybe a DS Safari or other larger vehicle?
I have forgotten things and will only start to realise as I can not find them
any more when looking for them.
2 x rear internal repair panels from Tom Verheyden in the Netherlands. Both
sprayed black - left and right with rear gutters and support panels to weld to
the boot back and floor. Photos to follow. (VERY RARE - only 2 taken to the
event and sold to me - made by Tom and not many are sold as not many cars are as
rusty as mine!

Ewan
Also taken from the car was a DS special tool for unscrewing the front wheel bearings that had just been purchased from a trade stand.
Please make others aware of this - as the items may turn up on various selling/auction sites - and contact Ewan or the club if you suspect someone is offering any of these items for sale.
