[Wee Red]

UPDATE:

 

RECOVERED - thank you all very much for resharing this post - thanks to you all and the power of social media, it’s back in the owners possession.

 

STOLEN Celica

Please can everyone keep an eye out for anyone selling a Toyota Celica car or parts from the car below - car was stolen from a gentleman in the Ballynahinch Co. Down, area. Please share this and make it too hot to handle.

Has it been posted on Twitter/X?

Need to get this on insta, x and Facebook for max coverage

Think I saw a post that this has been recovered, but open to correction.

I hope it has, but this is why I don't blindly repost.

Glad it's back home. Hopefully with enough DNA/finger prints to secure a conviction.

Can you give some me background on using those sites to trace a car?  I only use Facebook a little bit. I want to track down a car I owned for 40 years.... then sold it then really regretted it. The guy I sold it to sold it on and and hasn't been helpful. It's listed as SORN. I've posted pictures on the Owners Club Facebook page but no response.  Whereabouts on isnta and X would you place a post looking for a particular car?

 

Thanks

Stolen cars are publicised on platforms like Twitter/Facebook etc to make them too hot to handle and get more eyes out there looking for a particular car.

As for a car that has been lost for 40 years, you need to use a similar process, but use owners clubs etc. You can continue trying on Facebook owners groups, with pictures of the car in question.

I don't use insta and x but those are big like tiktok but if you got photos of it can post on insta and tag car groups

That's some good news for once.I hope it was returned in the condition it was before the scumbags got it,looks a nice example

Hi Wee Red, I hope you are well - nice to see you posting! 

Really encouraging to hear that the car has been recovered. Keep us posted as to whether they are able to secure a conviction.

How did it get stolen? No alarm or immobilizer on it?
