Well well well! The old Bill called my mate this morning to tell him they have recovered his car nearly a year on!
It was picked up in Slough by a routine squad car last night who thought the plates were a bit dodgy and they ended up in a high speed pursuit after trying to stop it.
The S3 outran the police and the car was found abandoned near by. I think my mate is getting first dibs on it if he wants to buy it from the insurance company but not sure how that works.
Nice to see cars do reappear sometimes
