My mom's had her MINI stolen out the garage overnight

If you're around Birmingham please keep an eye out for it, it's a black MINI One, white door mirrors and bonnet stripes, bullets, reg is S555 NMS

She is absolutely gutted

Sorry to read this.

I hope it gets recovered.

Becca3003 · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:15 AM

Sorry to hear about your mum MINI! Can't believe some people!

Hope you manage to find it!

KPKalle · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:19 AM

Bad news

DaFlake · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:23 AM

Ugh, that really sucks... I hope that you recover it soon.

S8RAH · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:27 AM

Awful, I hope you get good news soon. Am nowhere near Birmingham but I'll keep eyes open anyway, you never know!

airbusA346 · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:36 AM

That's just Awful.

appmacguy · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:39 AM

Where about in Birmingham, what time or any more details that could help people spot it.

Cant believe it was taken from the garage, I'd think that would be so much safer. Did they steal the keys for the car as I presume an immobiliser would stop this? Can't believe some people.

I was hoping MINIs weren't too easy to steal! Did they take the keys?

supa-dupa-cooper · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:48 AM

Oh no!

I hope it does get recovered, thats awful

ALD0 · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:50 AM

Hope it's recovered with no damage

k m s · Jan 24th, 2008, 07:50 AM

Was sometime last night, details a bit sketchy (she was very upset on the phone

) but it seems they broke into the house and stole her purse. The keys were in the purse, they must have then rolled the car down the drive between the other cars. All this without anyone, including the dog, hearing anything

She lives in Hollywood, south Birmingham

iain cooper · Jan 24th, 2008, 09:38 AM

better if she doesn't get it back and insurance pays out for replacement.

in my experience they are usually nackered if they are recovered, as normally hammered by the thieves.

I'm not too far from Brum, will keep an eye open. Good luck.
