The profit margin is pretty good considering their investment, I hope that someone assembles enough evidence to prosecute them.

Brilliant. This is some Line of Duty type of investigation. Well done.

I've made some updates to the article on Cutters. Both Avon & Somerset and West Midlands police are now investigating events surrounding this car. DN59UBP has also had a marker put against it on the ANPR database.

Interesting read and will be following the thread to see the outcome.

A few things spring to mind - firstly how difficult it was to convince people that the car wasn't what it said it was, despite the gleamingly obvious evidence and also how oblivious/ negligent people can be with doing their checks.

Very unclear as to why you have been muted by the Facebook group too.

The whole thing stinks and I hope that any involved are caught and prosectued.

That will be the person trying to sell the car now. There is only one car on DN59UBP,… probably

Agree re: getting some people to admit / agree it’s the stolen car, I was even fielding people today saying “it’s only a suspicion” - No, it’s 100% proven by the code reader output the seller got done last week sometime before 10am last Wednesday.
