Feeling your pain Stella, I'm not too far from TTS so i'll keep an eye out, i also know some of the local toe rags so i'll ask about spare wheels for my FN2, they may have heard something about white wheels as they're fairly distinctive.

thats gotta to be gutting, hope the outcome is a good one

really sorry for ya

[-=Stella Artois=-]

Gutted for you Marc knowing how you looked after it and even if you get it back, the not knowing what's been done.

Any opinion of whether it was pure fluke yours was in there or do you think there's more to it?

Whatever happens, i hope you get the result you want.

I spoke with Richard, he's quite upset over the matter, hence why I've not waded in with demands. I'm sure that we can sort this out amicably and quite swiftly. We did get to discussing hypothosies. Richard, late last week took delivery of an S2000 engine which he had delivered by some blokes that came down from Rochdale, iirc.. Now, whilst the coppers were there today, they pointed out that the engine that Richard had taken delivery of was a stolen lump - so he is down on the cost of that for a start. However, he did say that the blokes that came down, were real petrolheads, very interested in his set up at TTS. (Now, I my self had the guided tour of the premises - quite reassuring , that you know what the company can achieve and that they have the facilites to do what they say) Richard commented on the blokes being very keen on the workshops and kit that he had. Taking photo's of the cars/bikes that he was working on - I did the same, the odd snap of a cool Ariel Atom, and a nice s2000. But he now believes that they may have been casing the place. He mentioned this to the police, so we'll see how it goes, or if there is any substance.

This is only speculation, but I find it coincidental. As for my part, I belive "wrong place, right time" as there were only 2 other people, with the exception of Richard and my family that new I was putting the car in for a Rotrex - that said no-one knew of the dates that i was putting it in for the work.

So... looks like the bad luck struck again.

Any other cars stolen?
Dougies was in there and so was Gunthers S2000.

It's sh-t when this happens. Mine was stolen/recovered same day but still took 4 months to get it back due to useless police and insurance idiots!

Mine was the other car broken in too, centre console with pioneer dvd headunit & the Blitz R-vit I've just fitted all gone.

No damage to my car other than forcing the glovebox open, it wasnt even locked the thick thieving Cnuts :stfu:


Good job my cars running like a dog & wont start or it would be gone also.
Im planning to strip my car out for 1/4, but not this early

Anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement console? As my feet will get chilly at night without one

Swap you a centre console for a FN2

[bacardi_geeza]

dude, im lost for words

[Cat]

Sh|t!

Really sorry to hear this Marc. :bigcry:

[Yatman]

Hi mate! Just want to say really sorry for your lost on such mod up car. Like many I wish I hadn't start reading these threads - it certaining worries me now! My friend had his FN2 nicked last year & took him 4 month to get a new one.

Might sound a bit cynical but don't you think these thieving scums are lurking in these forums looking for their next victim? Scary thought.....

im not sure its a case of singling out their victim in marks case especially on a forum such as this.. as he said its just utter bad luck in being there, though i look forward to hearing about progression regarding the case with the gentlemen who took photos.. could be innocent but it definetly needs thorough investigation as im sure it is getting at this point..

This is outrageous. TTS should be held responsible. Keys should be locked in a safe at night.

Gutted for you Marc..

[lee.typer.gt]

Gutted to hear this mate.
:bigcry:

[Tarticus]

OMFG thats gutting, can I just clear a few things up though :-

Is this the same FN2 that richard at TTS was fitting a Rotrex Charger to and said he could make 360BHP With ??? and said he could get it done in a week eg the end of this week, (when there isnt even a ECU available to run it, well not with Hondata, unless they had another answer such as AEM etc etc)

If so, he couldnt have started much to get it done if they could rob the keys and drive away, why were the keys not in a safe or at least taken home with him, I know other tuners take customers keys home with them, as a security, why didnt they steal any other cars, what was the point of entry etc etc.

Just sounds a little strange, I know TTS have gone bust before owing people a LOT of money and then re-opened again etc etc, I know this is not the news that you actually want to hear but hope it all gets sorted, and obviously there is no need to claim on your insurance it is the responsibility of the Tuner / Premises.

Hope all works out for you, really is shitty news

Yes, Its the same FN2. and it didn't involve the primary ECU controlling the fueling.

If so, he couldnt have started much to get it done if they could rob the keys and drive away, why were the keys not in a safe or at least taken home with him, I know other tuners take customers keys home with them, as a security, why didnt they steal any other cars, what was the point of entry etc etc.

As to why, I don't know why the keys were available, but under the supply of goods and services act 1982, the company has to take due care to protect the property that is left in charge with them. He had just completed the Datum runs, I was a day late delivering the car.

You may not be able to access the links, but just goes to prove what I was saying above, hope it all gets sorted for you

[-=Stella Artois=-]

Duly noted Tarticus, I have passed that on. :thumbup:
I can only hope that it can be rectified swiftly, however forewarned is forearmed. Ta.

I had seen the Engineering one on companies house, but as they were different addresses, I kinda hoped they weren't linked.

[Tarticus]

Happy to help dude as best I can

[brooke]
