Well I have had my CC 1 week and have done over 500 miles already and have enjoyed every minute of it.
Yesterday morning (saturday) at 9am I received a phone call from the police asking if I was the owner of a Black 206cc, registration *******, on confirming I was, I was then told that it had been reported parked in a hedge in Morrisons car park in Leeds with all the doors open.
OMG I thought my brand new car has been stolen, I slowly opened the curtains expecting to see a space where the car should be, but thank god she was still parked where I had left her
I told the police the car was still there, so they sent a police car out to investigate. They then rang me back a little later to say that they had found a black 206cc with the exact same plates on as mine, and this car had been stolen from a car hire company during the week.
They suggested that the thieves had probably seen my car about and jotted down the registration plate to put it onto the stolen vehicle.
Everything seems to be ok now, but my only concern is they had gone to all that hassle to put false plates on the car (and I guess produce false documents) to only then abandon the car, what was the car used for?
So I will just have to wait and see if anything else comes out of this :sad:
But I remmeber reading a thread about putting a picture of your car onto the web and how important it is to cover the registration plate.

Sam
