Welcome to NAM bb. Sorry to hear about your MINI. Please keep us informed. The way I see it, there is good and bad here. The bad thing is that most times MINIs are stolen, the thief finds out that they are dealing in easily traced merchandise and more times than not, torch the car and call it a day. The good news is that the insurance companies often pay out premium settlements for MINIs. One of our members had an 06 GP get stolen and they took it across town and burned it. The insurance company ended up giving him more than he paid. Good luck.

Bummer. Bad news.

What part of town are you in? Any distinguishing blemishes/features in case I happen upon one like it? (not that that will ever happen...but you never know.)

What a shame that's a nice MINI. Did you keep the keys in the ignition when you had it in the garage/driveway? I know a local guy who did that and lost his C6 vette from his open garage while he was out back with guests.

If you blow the OPs picture up and look closely at the front license plate frame it is the same.

Send this guy a PM.

Well Done SevereCarAddict!

in need of a slapped wrist !!!!!!!!

I'm sure the &%^(*& sub-humans selling that car did not know it was stolen. I think the police should be called so they can bond out and steal more cars.
Car thieves should be put to death,(((first time))),there would be no second time.
Of course they will recieve a slap on the wrist and turned loose.

PS: I had my Z28 stolen in 1969 and I'm still mad about it.

I had a Benz stolen from my moms house in 91 (funny thing is I left it at my moms and took her car to NYC cause I didn't want my car to get stolen ) Then some F@$K stole my Honda out of my driveway in 2001. They found him driving the car fives days later with a picture of his daughter taped to the dash and a ton of his clothes in the back. When push came to shove they could only charge him with joy riding in a stolen car since they "didn't see him steal it." Got off with the wrist slap!

The real question is: Do you REALLY miss it?

Probably left the keys in the MINI. OP only posted once and has surely been paid by the insurance by now.

Haven't heard from him . He hasn't signed back in since the day he initially posted back in June, and doesn't accept emails from forum users.
