Did anyone attend a car meet at Ebbw Vale Tesco on Sunday night? There are reports that the car was apparently there.

There have also been reported sightings of it at Blackwood Asda & driving through Mountain Ash.

There obviously morons as well as scum then to be driving it about unless some poor soul has unsuspectingly bought it.

**alladdin** · 25-11-2015, 20:58

Because said person from Fife runs a stolen oldskool Ford Facebook group & is in contact with the Grandson of the owner?

**escortmad79** · 25-11-2015, 22:03

Seems a bit of an odd one, apparently it was dumped down the road from his house this morning with no damage?

**alladdin** · 25-11-2015, 22:08

That would explain it then ☺️
Probably someone very local who got cold feet ?

likely id say, probably realised a lot of people were looking out for it, and thought safest thing was to "take it home" and hope for the best

**Jimmythedimmy** · 25-11-2015, 22:46

either way its good news

**corblimey3.1** · 25-11-2015, 23:15

Shame no one saw who brought it back.

Either that or someone "influenced" whoever took it to return it ASAP, hopefully with the use of physical violence

**corblimey3.1** · 26-11-2015, 20:39

Yes!! prolific car thieves don't give a shit about the threat of the police

Nice! hopefully someone that knows someone will put the thief on his arse, it would be stressful enough for a young person to lose his pride and joy let alone for a 77 year old! there's no excuse at all to nick it is there.
