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 :beat: 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 :lol:

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 :unsure:

WHAT! Don't tell me I went through all that trouble for nothing :angry: 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 :rolleyes: 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. :o 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 ? ;)
