Alternatively it suggests the problem of publicizing you have car. It can be seen to exist, its whereabouts become known, and there you go. If he leaves the auction to run he is advertising its been nicked, for free. The Police will do little, You need to network yourself and find the car. I was lucky, I got my Messerachmitt back after hard graft and good trade connections. Are you going to buy an unknown cheap Bond MkD unquestioned right now? I know this does not fit in with the narrative that all info is to belong to the collective, but its is a reality in its own right. I have had to many folk sniffing round and taking things from me, to not take this seriously.
Did John Dobb ever get his cars back? What about the stolen Breutsch? I could go on but its depressing.
ON the other side advertising it as Bond literature is not really going to pull in the punters for a car, nor spread the word effectively about a theft. I pity the thief. He turned up expecting a Villiers manual and got stuffed with a whole flippin car!
