Missing car

[Sheppy16]

Hi,

My blue Honda Jazz, reg CA04SVU, disappeared from outside 83 Barry Road in the last couple of days. I've noticed new tarmac on the road and wonder if it has been moved for roadworks. I've tried the 'trace' phone number - no luck so far. If any has seen it or has any further info on whether things may have been moved this week, please let me know! Thanks!

I've seen a thread here very recently about a similar scenario. See if you can find it as it may have had some useful information about what to do.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I found the thread dated May 6th. Car taken from Barry Road. The person also tried TRACE without success. You could send them a PM to see if they got anywhere as your cases are so similar.

Thank you, I've just wandered about the streets and found an old sign with a telephone number of the recovery company used by the contractors. The car had been taken one street away. There was also a white Mercedes with the same notice on if anyone's looking for that!

Cheers

That a bit off if you hadn't been given any warning. At least you found it.

How can they move a car (with no keys) without damaging it?

Jeremy,

Trucks that lift them by the wheels. The same trucks that take your car if it's "Towed Away" - though they don't...

Please report such occurences to James Barber, the Lib Dem Councillor (see thread started by him), unless we complain it will continue to happend. I posted on his thread as cars on Barry Rd were being moved recently without prior notice - the same happened to my husband's car a few years ago with resultant significant damage. The cars also tend to be left on double yellow lines, disabled parking spots etc and so if you are v.unlucky you get a fine to boot.
