metcars 397 Posted August 8 Wow, impressive how quickly the police have managed to return Mike’s golf? Outstanding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's me 615 Posted August 8 (edited) it came up as stolen as the new owner filled in an application for a log book to tax it if he had paid for an hpi he wouldn't have lost £7500 no tears for his loss here I'm afraid all the police did was go to where he lives and arranged confiscation had them at my place once due to the six chimneys auction house telling the police where we were rather than advising that a major dealer had lost a car I had bought and thus had put it on the hpi stolen list by them, I wasn't happy Edited August 8 by It's me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby who 41 Posted August 8 Think he'd prefer if the Police found his Fiesta, a lot of blood sweat and tears went it to the restoration of it. Good that it was found though none the less. Credit card companies need to up their game, its 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry guys but if I understand the deal correctly ,I think Mr Brewer’s sales guy deserves a P45 for negligence.Downing a £10k Golf over the phone by accepting payment by Credit Card ? .I think it is OK to accept an initial deposit by Credit Card but even if the punter was on the pitch and clearly legit,I would not accept full payment by Credit Card.It usually means they have no money and there will be faulty merchandise claims ahead and the card company can swipe back the full payment .I don’t think the Police look for stolen cars any more but maybe because Mr Brewer is a popular celebrity and of course the publicity ,they fortunately very promptly went out of their way considering all the other stuff going on at the moment. ….or am I out of touch ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was in a trailer and surrounded by all the production trucks. They took the trailer and probably didn’t know what was inside until they opened it, a bit like a kinder surprise, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
