A Facebook friend has asked me to post this on the forum to try to get a Happy Christmas back to the owner.

Please keep a good lookout - this happened 17 hours ago so the wee car could be anywhere!
 

breaks my heart having to write this...

My car has been stolen from outside my house in Reading some time between 6:30pm and 2am last night. The battery is shot so it'll probably get stuck wherever its been left. Any info etc. would be greatly appreciated, can't really offer a reward but I'll shower you with love and affection.

It's super recognisable from the brown colour and the fact it's a 30 year old Austin Mini. Reg B335 EDA.

Someone please give my car back it's Christmas

Tweeted to @StolenUK and @TSMWAlerts let's hope it's spotted

Rotten sods!  

 

Hope it's okay and gets returned to its rightful owner.

Sad truth, compared to the rest of the cars in the area I guess it was an easy target.

 

The early minis are dead easy to steal, and in this day and age it always pays to fit a third party immobiliser hidden in the passenger compartment. No point in placing in the engine bay as that can be accessed without even unlocking the car.

 

I hope it was stolen by someone looking for a way home from a Christmas party and it will turn up parked at the roadside somewhere.

I saw this on facebook & shared it on our mini group page,sadly its not the only mini thats been stolen recently,there has been a spate of them getting pinched,its rare my mini is left outside but i always remove the rotor arm from the distributor when its parked up,even when its locked up in my garage. 

Friendly Christmas morning nudge back up the listing
