“What a load of errant nonsense. No one saw the engine being removed, the owner wasnt aware of what was going on & no attempt to break into the car was made?
Seems a little fishy to me - i wonder how convinced the insurance company will be? Assuming that the car was insured at the time of the 'theft'.
Another 'theft' story that doesnt quite ring true with me as heard of another so called 'theft' yesterday which i took with a large pinch of salt.”

“Surely it would have been easier to 'nick' the whole car? and easier for the owner to claim a on the insurance!”
