Unfortunately mate don't think you'll ever see it again! I had 2 nicked in 5 months last year, got trackers on all vehicles now, £180 to supply and fit then £7 a month, that's the only chance you have of ever seeing them again. Don't know about you but police here in south London was not interested either time when I reported it.....no wonder these scumbags keep nicking them.

Yardley is a bit of a dodgy area these days. You will probably find it round the back of the cemetry with five Roumanians living in it.
But how did they nick it? I thought vans that new were nigh on impossible to steal ?

Really sorry to hear that Bill.

Is it worth phoning local radio station? They're always looking for something interesting and if they put out an appeal and maybe a £100 reward then someone might spot it with such clear markings.

I know it's a long shot as the van may be out of the city by now but worth a try?

Good luck.

This may sound Harsh but do you really think your gonna see it again? The answer is highly unlikely. accept it if you haven't already done so and instead of driving yourself mad about how they got it or where it may be, drive the insurance company mad by ringing them non stop and tell them you need to get a new van to earn a living! Don't know who your insured with but my insurance said if it aint found in 72 hours then they pay out! On both occasions a week later and I was paid! More than business.
Oh and for what it costs get a tracker on the next one!

I have posted this on acs forum to try spread the word a little. Fingers crossed it shows But if the took it without the keys it may be long gone.
Life is crap sometimes. Lets hope the insurance dont muck you about to much as it sound that short of bolting it to the ground there was not much you could do about it. :(
