    I guess it is going on everyplace in the world.

    It should be the death penalty to steal a car but all the thieves get is a slap on the wrist and turned loose.

    Here in Florida they steal front wheel drive cars with one of those slick tow trucks that just back up and lift the front wheels. Thirty seconds and gone. They can stop and strap it down when they are out of sight.

    If I go to the Mall or the Movies I always pull into the spot. I try to have a pole or a curb protecting my front wheels from being lifted.

    I never back into a slot anymore because of this.

    I really do believe that all car thieves should be executed. No appeal or no second chance given.

    So sad..... My guess is the thieve's are probably going to put the Peugeot's engine in it & sell it as an R56. So sad..... :wink:

    They didn't say what year it was did they? My guess is that it was a Classic since it had "off road" reg and was only worth a few thousand pounds.
