Total BASTARDS stole the wheels and airbox off my CSL, anyone with any information at all please get in touch with me or Lothian and Borders police on 0131 311 3131

This happened on the early hours of Monday morning (25th of March)

I'm offering a cash reward for any information regarding the names of those involved!

I can identify the parts, they all have distinct markings on them that I will be able to easily identify.

CCTV is being looked at by the police and I am appealing for witnesses local to where it happened.

Hopefully we'll catch who is responsible!

Please share this on your profile.

Thanks

No, no Deano not me but some other poor bloke in Edinburgh I believe.

Just figured i'd post it up. I know a guy who got his car taken once and that many of us posted it up on the net it became too hot and he ended up getting it back.

I was thinking about this recently how it would come to this with CSL's

I preferred it back in 2007 when they were the best kept secret and the prices were falling like "normal" cars.

This makes me very mad

Holy SMOKE, that is very sad indeed.

Edinburgh too, very close to where I used to live. So glad I have a garage, out of sight.

YESTERDAY morning, someone must know the poor guy, bloody shame.

bastards!!!

i've heard a csl rear exhaust is numbered to the same car it came off the production line. is this true?

if so you may be able to find the specific air box part number and post it up. we'll all keep a eye out for it then, just a thought.

hope they get caught!!!

Really sorry to see this mate, you haven't had her for long either.

Not far from Falkirk, where I'm originally from. What car park is it, or is it a private residential one? How did they gain entry to the car to get under the bonnet.

PM if you prefer or if confidential, don't worry about it. That's pish mate.

Very sad to hear this. Was paranoid when I had a quattro & thieves started to nick parts due to their value.

Good Dan, hopefully something come of it.

Just wondering as it has been mentioned elsewhere I wonder were they disturbed ?
Why go to the trouble of the airbox when the interior, bootlid & front bumper could all have been got as well perhaps !

front seats take a few minutes to get out. So I imagine they were either disturbed, or most likely stolen to order.

Fucking cunts. Makes me want to go vigilante on some fucking scrotes:banghead::smt070

Sorry to hear this has happened, now all they need is to be caught and given six months on the NHS ward with both legs and arm busted.

All the same sentiments as already posted, especially with regards to physical harm to the culprits.

Will keep an eye out on things like Gumtree too.

Holy shit! How long would it take to get the airbox off? Wasn't it kept in a lock up of some sort? If so how did they get into that?
