I find it a little ironic that they advertise about a stolen car without mentioning the registration.

It's already been nicked so it's not as though the thief does not know the number.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

Hmmm... Agree with petep, dosn`t look genuine to me. Probably because of the lack of information, if that was my car stolen i would write a poem about it, give every possible info i can think of! smile
Or at least the most obvious things that the car can be recognized by.

The pic looks like one from a sales advert, probably when they bought the car. They may not have another pic to use.

Cant see it being taken by joyriders, so probably stolen for spares? frown

so the engine can be start without the key?
I always thought the Coupe is very difficult to steal due to the red key thing?

Probably a case of nicking the keys first, then the car.

This is called the law of unintended consequences... make it hard to steal a car without the keys and the keys become the target rather than the car, hence car jackings, breakins, and so on.

There will always be parasites whose only respect for your person or possessions is what it's worth to them.
