FAO: Birmingham Residents - Stolen Ford Fiesta

Mul · 26 Aug 2010 at 13:12

Hi,

During the early hours of this morning, a friend's Lime Green Ford Fiesta was stolen from the area of Olton, near Birmingham and Solihull.

Ford Fiesta Green 1.6 TDCI Econetic
Registration - EK10 VAD

The keys were stolen from the house so the car is unlikely to have any signs of forced entry.

I appreciate that this is a long shot, but if anyone in the area happens to have spotted the vehicle, please message me on my email address in trust.

Many Thanks.

A picture speaks a thousand words.

I hope your friend finds his Fiesta.

Unfortunately he doesn't have any photos of the car, but I do now know that the car was of base Econetic trim without Alloys.

Its now in its way to Nigeria

Surely his insurance company, and the police are the people he should be calling. Not internet forums?

Might be down my way in Lozells

sadly that will be one of several thousand fiestas in the area.

Chance of finding it is somewhat slim

Of course he has dealt with the police and his insurers first. I'm simply doing whatever's within my reach to spread awareness. As I've said the odds of this being of much use is slim, but I felt it was worth a shot regardless.

I think he wants us to keep our eyes out for a base model Fiesta next time we drive around Britains second largest city :confused:

Can't be many Fiestas in Birmingham I guess...

Awareness for what purpose? Only a fool would want a stolen 10 plate car back, as insurance companies replace cars of that age with brand new cars when you claim anyway!

He would be better off, not getting it back and getting a new one from the insurance

Here's a pic to help narrow it down

It's not like it's rare or exotica? You've seen others do it and thought you would do it too.

Sheep.

Someone must've wanted a very new car then - long shot of finding it but good luck.

Probably going to end up being used in a ram raid or something.

Oh yeah, the ideal tool for a ram raid

You sure? I think they wanted an old car.

I think I've only seen one Fiesta in that colour in Birmingham, and I drive around Birmingham all day. So not exactly common, so those comments are a bit off the mark.
