Quick heads up, 3 more Defenders have been stolen from the Tring area. 2 worrying things this time round, at least 1 was a TD5 and secondly it started and drove away (usually its the 300 TDIs that are stolen round here, the TD5 immobilisers seemed to work).

May or may not be connected to the independant near Beaconsfield that lost their diagnostic equipment eariler this week.

A lot of it about. The gangs covered Lincolnshire last month. There was an attempt on my G4 110 as you know, they didn't touch the 90 (300tdi) standing next to it. Last Xmas eve they stole my ex-LR experience silver 110 XS, again didn't touch the 90, probably because it's 10 years old!

I know the neighbour of the Td5 guy, gutted is not the word as he has spent several years fettling Series and early defenders to get into a Td5, and has only had it a few weeks.

No interest in mine, of the 2 Td5's in my road, less than 200m from where the others were taken from. :ermm:
