This morning 22 June 2008 at around 4.15 am. Somebody broke into my house and took the keys to my wife's FORD PUMA RACING.

Alarm woke my daughter and she then heard the Puma start and looked out the window to see it going off up the road.

She came and woke me and I called the Garda we found they came into the house via kitchen window.

So Sorry

I would be surprised if they tried to sell it complete as they are all traceable due to their rarity!
I would think, its going to be stripped down for parts
Unless there has been one smashed up recently near you ?


Makes me think again about fitting a tracker system in Wugsy

So sorry to hear this, hope you get it back safe and well.


It would be very hard for someone to move this on.

BASTARDS!!

Mate, I can't imagine what you must be going through? the fact that someone is in your house while you and your family are asleep is as bad as the car going missing. seems like it could have been a pretty planned job, i.e. get the keys and get out? were the keys in a difficult to find place?

Are there any extra mods/features that make the car more identifiable over other frp's? Woth keepin an eye on ebay in case parts are sold. I doubt they'd be able to get too far without the license certificate etc now the car's reported stolen. Particularly the fact that there aint many FRP's in Ireland.

Was 167 the vehicle number? as in "167/500"

Hope you get the c"*ts mate.

[cheshiresport]

167 is the number engraved on the manifold as in number 167 of 500


Your right though, the car will probably be in some garage somewhere now, lets just hope it gets found

I don't even know what an inlet manifold is?? That bit near the engine cover??

[cheshiresport]

Yes

[spenspuma]

I feel sick for you

I just hope somehow it gets found in one piece and you cna be reunite with it.

I wonder how insurance works in this scenario?

[BenF]

I feel for you, and hope that you recover your car in one piece.

[Neil]

That's bloody awful. I hope the police manage to track it down

[CONLISA]

Gutted, hope they find the scum and chop bits of them!!!!

[BOK]

It will be very hard to sell that on as a complete car...hopefully it will turn up.

Best of luck.

Do report back if it's been found in case someone smacks an unsuspecting owner over the head with a wheelbrace only to find it's you (what a way to meet...).

Hi all

Many thanks for the reply's. Yes I feel sick about it all, and my wifes loves the FRP. We have owned it for the past 4 years. I worked in 2000 for a Ford dealer when it was sold new. It was then a part/ex 2 years later and my brother bought it and I purchased it from him. So it's been in the family since 2002.
She is a stock standard FRP with no extras than what she came with new and just clock 64000 miles fsh.

Never crashed or painted.

Of course I will let you know if she comes back. hate to get hit over head.

as they were seen leaving the Garda think she may have been parked near by to let cool down.

Many thanks lads and gals.

[PussCat]

eeek - really hope you get her back in one piece!

[Spike]

thats really bad news... fingers crossed you get it back.

Mine had a tracker fitted when i got it, pleased i keep the service up on it

[racepuma52]

Sorry to hear that,hope it comes back safe.

Its the thought of the b ds in your house that i dont like.

[lorenzo231]

Sorry for you, i hope for u what she come back home...

[outhouse]

I'm sure everyone on the site is keeping an eye out!

Sorry for your loss...

[Sex Kitten]

fingers crossed for you

[Banny]

Horrid news.

Is it worth informing all channel crossings?? So at least it can't get off the island.
Also keep an eye out on Ebay, for full interior etc.
