Possibly one of the other local garage owners may know? Also, it's possible if the owners and staff are still in the area that they might see your post. They didn't post on here themselves (to the best of my knowledge) but they must have known that I did, as a couple of times the lady who worked in reception phoned me to ask me if I could post in the "Lost" section when something dropped in Hansler Road had been handed in to them. Unfortunately I only have their office landline number, which presumably disappeared when they closed. -

Well, that was my initial thought too, but having re-read the thread, it seems that the car was left outside Westminster Carpets. Maybe even middle-aged Lotharios can't ignore the low, low prices in their 'Remnants, Offcuts & Roll-End Sale'. Do you know anyone with a second generation Fiat Punto (1999-2010)? Because 5 to 1, the key will fit. I'm out of the country, watching the cricket, just now but if you can get it down to the Catford/Sydenham borders in the next couple of hours, I've got a mate who can 'look after' it. It'll be at Tilbury docks by 6 o'clock. Have you ever driven a car with an F1 style, flappy paddle gearbox before? -
"Isn't a car of interest" but reported stolen? That's bonkers, surely? Has it been stolen or not? Did they say why it wasn't a "car of interest"? Had it been stolen but already recovered by the owner, who has now parked it outside your house? Had it been stolen but the owner got his sixty grand from the insurance so no longer cares, and the police don't care about it as the thieves have abandoned it? Or don't care because they can't catch the thieves unless they find them driving it? Any other theories? Surely if it had been reported stolen the police might at least want to let the owner know where it was? It seems a bit of an odd car to steal anyway, being rather noticeable!
