Good luck and do let us know.

Check every parking area within 10miles.

The ones that get found are generally left somewhere quiet for a day or too, to see if trackers are activated

Cheers - I think this has been found - just seen it on Facebook. Glad for the owner, couldn't imagine how I'd feel if some took my bus!

We found it, Fb was bloody phenomenal
Local scum, idiot left his phone in it, police have the car.
Tossers damaged it a bit but not badly wing locks, pryed the ignition out so dash isn't good, scratched it up.
But back
Thanks guys

Probably the best outcome you could have hoped for - really pleased for you if that makes sense !

Worst case was never seeing/hearing of it again.

Well done FB - seems it does have it's uses :?
