Default Black WRX STi - STOLEN Swansea

Has anyone seen a black WRX STI with pink grill badge and standard wheels in the Swansea area? It's my boyfriends and it was stolen last night from the Brynmill area in Swansea. I'd appreciate it if anyone who has seen it could get in contact with me and we'd like to bash the pikeys that did it!

He reported it stolen this morning, yet the police still called him this afternoon to ask why 'he' drove off without paying for petrol... ****ing muppets!! They are apparently gonna look for it now, what a joke!

Please keep an eye out. Thanks.

Apparently not, I originally called the police today the have a go cos I thought they would have been able to identify them from CCTV but apparently the Texaco garage only films plates. I guess the theives knew this as the Shell garage down the road has a much better system!! The guy that was working at the time said that he wouldn't be able to recognise the guys if he saw them again, so they can't do a line up. Bugger!

Any other distinguishing marks/mods?

It's got an original P1 Spoiler but car is not a P1!

Quite a loud dump valve.

Japanese stainless steel exhaust

"Subaru Technica International STi" window sticker front and back.

They told you ****!!!!
Garages DO NOT have cameras that automatically zoom in on every number plate on the forecourt individually. What about motorbikes for instance???????
They will have one camera that films the whole forecourt like every other garage, therefore being able to film the persons as well as the car.
Under the CCTV laws, you can ask to view the garages CCTV and they HAVE to let you.

Hope this helps, and your boyfriend gets his Scoob back in one piece ok.

CCTV doesn't come under Data Protection. Its something to do with because they can film you, you have a right to view that footage. We have it at work so I do know about it. Although I have forgot the exact legal jargon! Hope it helps!

We called the police and they said it was at midday that they stole the petrol, which is a bit weird unless they are completely stupid! They also said that the petrol station doesnt have CCTV and even if they did we couldnt see the tape! *******s! I would go round there but Im at home in Plymouth and obviously my bf doesnt have transport at the moment!!! Gonna print up some poters and if any one in the Swansea area is willing to put some for us I can email them to you. I would really appreciate your help! Thanks xxx

Was it a small WRX decal in the left hand corner??? Did it have a P1 spoiler? When did you see it? Is there any point in reporting that to the police?? I don't know? I'm so exicited, but I dont know why!!!
