Those of you in the South East may have seen the news that 70 cars were stolen from a garage in Essex, none of the cars had UK plates apparantly, and they were Japanese imports. No details on what the cars were but you can probably be assured that a few Scoobs were among them.
It all sounded a bit fishy on the news as the site they were stolen from last night was sold today, but who knows? The Police are looking for 3 Chinese men "to eliminate from their enquiries" who were held by the thieves. The staff and customers were held for 12 hours whilst the thieves took off with the stock, possibly in car transporters.

"No details on what the cars were but you can probably be assured that a few Scoobs were among them."

And they may all have been Toyota Corollas.

Lets try and bump our insurance premiums up further shall we.

just heard on the news that this happened last month, so understandable that the site was sold. Some cars have already been recovered and 2 arrests made. Don't think that our insurance premiuns would be affected as this was a commercial loss. + as the site has now been sold the chap may not have had any insurance, although there are many other reasons why it would be sold.
