I can't thank everyone enough for your support.

I'm not angry anymore, I'm now toally relieved and embarrassed at the same time.

I went to the police earlier and was filling in their crime report.

1st question was what time did i put the car in the garage. I initially said 3:00pm but then I thought - no - I was buying the wedding rings around then so I said 2:00pm. Then my girl friend said "no, because I met her at the tennis club before going to shopping, but we got home around 6:00pm.

Then it finally dawned on me. I met Gemma at the tennis club and used her car to save parking 2 cars.

Yep, after spending 2 hours in the jewery store and needing to rush home to got out to dinner, I had driven home in Gem's car.

I went up to the tennis club and there she was, exactly where I left her.

Can you actually imagine how much of an idiot I feel! I had told a fewof people of the "car being stolen" earlier, so I sheepishly phoned them to tell them the news.

Funnily enough, they all took the p*ss.

I've a bad memory (never this bad before) but for both of us not to realise? I think the honeymoney can't come quick enough for both of us.

I now await your comments. I certainly deserve it! I don't think is strong enough!

Just cos the car is where you left it doesnt mean that it wasnt stolen and put back where they found it

Sorry to hear the bad news, Paulr I did put this news on all European Speedster forums (the Belgian, the Dutch, the German and the Swiss forum) And I asked everyone to look out for it; and if they noted something suspicious in relation to your stolen car, to give you a call. Hopefully you get your VXT back undamaged asap

WHAT! Don't tell me I went through all that trouble for nothing What was it then? Yep, found the answer allready. But I didn't know this case developed so fast while I was typing all those messages on the different forums. Well, I'm glad it did turn allright. Now I have to tell all the others about it.

After realising my feck-up, I thought about keeping quiet at first, but it didn't matter how much of a plum I felt, knowing the support we get on this forum I had to tell everyone!

Actually, I think the comments I had since have been pretty subdued. Looking back at todays events, I just can't believe what happened.

Releaved for you mate But this reminds me a guy I met about 3 years ago when I was on my first Palmersport day free with my NA. He didn't have his vx with him but told a story of how he & his mrs woke up one morning to find both his new vx & his mazda 6 gone. Thieves had broken into the house, taken the keys, unlocked the garage & must have pushed both cars out & down the drive. The 6 was found a mile away totalled on a bad bend in the village but there was no sign of the vx. Eventually his insurance paid out bot never any sign of his vx. The local Devon plod had a theory it was on a list & on its way to Japan, as they're RH drive. I was always sceptical about this. But VXT had only been out 6 months , so maybe ?

Glad it's been found I sometimes loose mine in Sainsburys and wander up and down the car park for ages before I find it. Don't forget to turn up for the wedding!
