That's sure bad luck, I use a farm to store all my parts and the two wrecks, but the farmer is a friend so I doubt he would let anyone touch anything without my say so.... he is one for tight security, it can be a pain, but after hearing this it is probably a small price to pay.
The trouble is it was taken such a long time ago (my Dad found his stollen company truck just 36 hours after it was stollen and it already had every number cut out or ground off), it will be long gone by now.... even so I would contact the local BBC news, they would love a story like that, and it may jog peoples memory for the time around christmas. It does sound like it was taken to order, think of all the trouble to organise a low loader or a 10 tonner to take it away, even then, driving away / across the country it would stick out like a sore thumb. Try contacting Jack Beckett at HMVF, may get it in the news section of Pathfinder, etc...

I am sorry to hear this bad news, something that we all dread. However, I am really suspicious of the farmer in all this. I just dont think, anyone would allow a vehicle to be moved without speaking with the owner direct. Did you have any issues with him? I wonder whether it has gone at all, or whether its sitting in a shed making you sweat!

Ouch
Case for stamping your hull number somewhere inconspicuous on the hull where it wouldn't get ground off by someone with ill intent I think?
I might just double-up on my truck chassis number stampings then. Hope you get it back

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 eddy
