Nothing to do with me, but I was interested in it. Stolen after being advertised on ebay.
Sadly I don't think this will be seen again......

THIS VEHICLE WAS STOLEN ON THE 19th OCTOBER FROM WILLENHALL WEST MIDLANDS>>>>> A WHITE FLATBED TRUCK WITH RED WRITING AND A HIAB WAS USED IN THE THEFT>>>>>>

UPDATE! Had a message from the seller and he tells me he suspects it's on it's way to Tilbury to be exported. Anybody in the area, keep an eye out!

I would hope that he has alerted the authorities at Tilbury. It's too big to loose inside a container, and pretty rare, so if anybody in authority has common sense, the bloke may get lucky. I hope.
