STOLEN CAYMAN - Page 4 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

My Graphite Blue 718 Cayman reg. no. CK17 JYU (WP0ZZZ98ZHS261880) was stolen from a residential parking lot in West London on Monday, 4 September 2023 at around 11:20 am. Jacked up onto rollers and driven off on a White Fiat Ducato tow truck reg. no. BX17 XPM in broad daylight in front of a dozen witnesses. Although 6 years old, the Cayman was very well maintained and in great condition with only 10k miles on the clock due to COVID and subsequent work abroad. The car had Agate Grey Alcantara interior and 6-speed manual gearbox. Please report any information, including any parts for sale to the police. Thank you.

That must be an easy find for the police and the cctv crew, a truck doesn't move very fast with a car on the back.

Sounds more like a repo.

A 10second image search in Google leads me to think the number plate could easily be mistaken for BX17 XPW (a W not a M) which is a repo truck, which is a Fiat. https://www.boniface-eng.com/images/uploads/galler... https://www.boniface-eng.com/galleries/boniface-t3... 3.

Great detective work - intrigued to know how you got the exact info. ...& to the OP - come on, spill the beans, what's the backstory here???

Surely if the OP was behind with payments he would be well aware of that, he would have had plenty of warnings and if the car subsequently disappeared he would know why.

I'm not really sure your detective work is up to scratch. Boniface Engineering in Thetford are the manufacturers of the vehicle. Burke Brothers Recovery were the first owners of the vehicle. I very much doubt that Burke Brothers still own it six years later and it's highly unlikely that they are moving cars in West London with it. It does sound very repossession-ish though.

All signs point to that truck registered either with that company with it in its gallery of fleet or the company name and number written on the side of it. Either way all signs point to whomever that is registered to. I don’t see you bringing much to the party. What a negative place this can be. I give up.

Julian Don't expect the Internet to be kind to you. Don't take it personally. It is just a bit of fun. But if you don't enjoy it then yes leave. Ideally find a way to not take it too seriously and shrug off the moaners.

Both the Reg No the OP posted for the truck and the one you came up with are both white Ducato Diesels - so what has that proved? You have no idea where that car is, or who took it there, even if any of your assumptions were anywhere near right, how can you possibly tell the OP the address of where his car is, what proof do you have?

It is my prediction that the registration of the Fiat that was taken at the time was was wrong and that it ends with a W not an M. That points to two companies associated to a Fiat repossession truck with that registration. Why not put some effort into helping the OP rather than nit-picking in some supercilious matter at my theory. Just keep out of it for the benefit of the OP.

Julian - AToM is correct; you need to chill out if people don't agree with you. And you have made a linked set of assumptions, any one of which may be incorrect. But it was funny. julian987R said: Why not put some effort into helping the OP rather than nit-picking in some supercilious matter at my theory. Just keep out of it for the benefit of the OP. The OP needs no help. Either the police will find his NOT-repo'd and genuinely stolen car (in which case your assumptions are incorrect), or the repo-company have already been in touch telling him where it is and how much he now owes them if he wants it back.

You have posted the address the OPs car is at, justify that, because unless I actually knew something like that for sure (not a wild guess) I would have more sense than to post it, you clearly haven’t. As for your 'prediction' what makes you think all the witnesses and the OP got the plate wrong but you on the other hand have come up with another probably completely unrelated vehicle that it could be. Why not add BX17 XPN too, which is another white Ducato Diesel, there are more. If you choose to post nonsense don't be surprised if you get pulled up for it. Oh, almost forgot, 'you are welcome'

One thing is for certain, we won't hear from OP again.

Firstly, you've posted the address of the manufacturers of the vehicle and suggested to the OP that his car will at a factory that makes recovery vehicles. Secondly, you've posted a picture of a truck belonging to a reputable company in the Midlands that has a different registration number to the one supplied by the OP. I'm guessing that you didn't make the grade for Scotland Yard. You're welcome.

I can’t understand why someone is suggesting that the car will be at the address of the company that made the tilt and slide bed for the recovery vehicle quite a few years ago.. What am I missing here Edit-above post beat me to it

b ks-double post-sorry

That Julian chap has long been a long and smelly faecal stain on this sub forum. I’m not quite sure if he’s a wind up or simply an imbecile. Either way he’s best ignored.

Cor, this thread turned horrid pretty quickly. Where's the OP when you need him?

Spleen said: Cor, this thread turned horrid pretty quickly. Where's the OP when you need him? Well couple of posts in and he got accused of not making payments on his car-im pretty sure someone would know the difference between getting their car nicked or repossessed, but the amateur sleuths have jumped to conclusions instantly

Well just call the number on the side of the truck of the repo company!!!You can't really think I claim to know it is 100% there. I have given some clues - they might lead to something, who knows, stranger things have happened. Why are you all SO negative - such a negative community...and don't call me mate, I am no friend nor never would want to be with such a sour person as you.

mikebradford said: Personally given the limited information I think Julian has come up with a credible assumption. As others have stated its unlikely we will see the OP again.

Shall we all jump in with ludicrous guesses as to where the cayman is now?

I’m not being negative, you are just spouting utter pish, it’s at such and such in Thetford, you’re welcome.drivel. Have a look at what you actually posted, and see if you think your smartarse matter of fact post has helped the OP in any way at all.

Shall we all jump in with ludicrous guesses as to where the cayman is now? Right so it was stolen a week ago and based on a clear sighting that the reg was BX17 XPM then you'd have thought, after a week, that would lead to something...but it hasn't as the OP posted here the news, one week later. So lets come at it another way..... It seems coincidental that a FIAT flat bed with BX17 XPW exists and owned by a repossession company. The OP could easily call call the number on the side of the Fiat with BX17 XPW. Why is that so hard to fathom as a line of enquiry? How do you know the eyewitnesses account is correct as much as you berate me over claims. Maybe, just maybe the W was mistaken for an M. Who knows? And maybe, just maybe, you are being overly negative and rude. You really can't stand to admit there could be a shred of opportunity to my hunch - and that is eating you up isn't it.

AskMID says the car is not insured (would that be the case if it was reported stolen and unrecovered? It is taxed but the MOT ran out on 5th September (the day before it was stolen). Fishier than a dodgy paella

It hasn’t crossed your mind that if the op is genuine, that these car theives might for one minute have used cloned plates on their truck? What kind of ball bag would steal cars with their truck displaying their actual reg plate ffs.. There is no credibility to your hunch. You mater of factly stated the actual address where the car is, then smugly added you’re welcome, like you’d cracked the case hahahahaha. You’ve made yourself look extremely foolish. Have a good evening.

Other bloke (and a couple of others) suggest it's been repossessed given the nature of the grab. Within a few seconds it's turned into a good old-fashioned PH fight with two key protagonists trying to dominate the keyboard.

The op did nothing wrong, he chose to start a thread stating his car had been stolen and driven off on the back of a truck with the Reg No he quoted. Whether it was a cloned plate or not was irrelevant to his post, so he didn’t neglect to tell us he didn’t need to. The purpose of this thread was for him to ask people to inform the Police if they knew anything about his car, any parts that might have been offered for sale from it or any other information relating to his missing car.

Whatever mate, I've got no dog in this fight and you obviously feel very strongly about the whole thing so I'll let you crack on fighting it out with the other bloke.

Anyway, I am sure the teachers would rather stay in the staff room with their feet up drinking tea than come down to the playground again so let’s leave it there.

I stay off these forums because there is so much unnecessary vitriol, and I'm not picking sides in this fight of yours but really @julian987R, you play the victim by using a racial slur (see the Equality Act 2010 s.1(b), and before that the Race Relations Act)? This is a Porsche sub-forum, let's not attack each other or innocent bystanders, and instead just talk about Porsches using the many words that English affords us which are not provocative to individuals or discriminatory against others. It really shouldn't be hard. I'm editing this again as I'm so fed up with the endless threads dominated by insults between people I don't know. Please, for others, just focus on the Porsches. Pistonheads was once upon a time such a valuable resource. Edited by ab8 on Tuesday 12th September 12:52

Always a lot of trolling on these forums, (I certainly don't include Julian in that; I guess some don't get the humour), but I've noticed there are other really rather unpleasant characters on here always quick to jump in and snipe which seems unique to PH unlike most other forums. A lot of the trolls also seem to be long serving members, thankfully some have now been banned by the mod team but only after some time.

Not sure why so many people get worked up though. Both posters have made valid points, and I prefer a keyboard row over someone taking a thread off-topic. Like i've just done I guess.

Reminds me, this forum is like a "cosmic desert trolley" too

Been enjoying this thread. But I am lost now. What has a reference to a line from the Thick of It got to do with the Equality Act 2010? Section 1(b) doesn’t even exist and section 1 concerns obligations on public authorities. Even if Julian was making a racial slur (which doesn’t seem to be the case), how is s1 of the act relevant?

981Boxess said: If someone had pretty much accused you of not paying your finance, getting the car repossessed and then starting a thread saying it was stolen, would you come back? Yes, this is the internet. I'm sure the OP has his big boy pants on. And this is PH, no-one in their right mind comes on here if they're fragile or worried by anyone else's opinion. No?

The OP started a thread asking if anyone got wind of anything relating to his missing car to inform the Police, nothing more. In the OPs position once several posters had labelled me as being daft enough to not have known my own car had been repossessed because I hadn't made payments on it I would not have bothered to post again. Not because I would have been offended by the suggestion but because why would I bother to engage with people that daft on here, when I wouldn't dream of doing it in the real world.
