AdamR28 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hi guys, Our converted XLWB Extra high roof Crafter was stolen last night, at 00:42hrs from PR5 6FN. Reg is BL57 VVX. Also has a tow bar and a load of our demo bikes in the back! If anyone sees it, I'd be most grateful if you could let me know where and when! I have a feeling all the graphics will already have been removed, but it's pretty distinctive with the roof vents, awning, TV aerial, rust down the sliding door and the tow bar on the back. Cheers, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 What... No way, this is actually saddening especially with the bikes in the back. Will keep an eye out down South East, never know where it could end up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 What.cpuld you do with a specially.modified rare van and with some rare." stunt bike"? Like its not something that has large interest/ can be sold anywhere easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wankers, how was it taken? Towed away? Can't start them without the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Appears you can start it without the key - although it took them nearly 45 minutes in total, and they went away for 2 hours in between... guessing they managed to clone / read some sort of chip / immobiliser info.

Like its not something that has large interest/ can be sold anywhere easily Once you change the plates and remove the stickers it's a mobile home worth £20k+. The problem these days is that it could be stolen to order and already be in Lithuania by now. I hope you get it back Ads I'll keep my eyes peeled around here.

Mark W Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Local jippo site! I was actually thinking that - there's that traveller's site beneath Yeadon Way as you go into Blackpool. With the van having been in Blackpool the weekend before, it might be worth having a drive over the top and seeing if you can spot it anywhere near there.

Dman Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just found this FIT AN OBD PROTECTION DEVICE In recent years, the number of criminals using hi-tech devices to steal vehicles has increased. Instead of hotwiring the car or van manually, thieves plug a laptop into the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port and clone the vehicle's wireless key fob in a matter of minutes. To stop this happening, fit an ECU/OBD protection device inside your van. Available for vehicles such as the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Transit Connect, this security measure covers the OBD socket with a secure box that can only be opened with the correct code or key.

trialsalot Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'd be trawling eBay, gumtree for someone selling the bikes that were in the back. Trace them back to the thief and the van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
