Posting this in multiple forums is usless and is considerd spam. One post would have been enough. Good luck finding your buggy.

A little harsh VB, but yes one forum would be fine. I will keep my eyes open for you. Sorry to hear that, I hope you get your stuff backI really hate a thief!

Sorry to hear your car was stolen. Hope you get it back, eventhough that's highly unlikely. Till then, make random stops at places where it can possibly be run. It's a long shot but you never know. Make sure you don't take it into your own hands. Call the proper authorities if you do find it. I'd hate to hear that hings got ugly and you're suffering the consequences of poor judgement. Good luck

EDIT
NC, you crossing the pond any time soon? He's in England.

Keep a lookout in pawn shops, mate. Things like that tend to show up there more oft than not.

I think you mean 2005.

Good luck.

Yeah, i guess i did ! i was so mad when i wrote it i didnt notice the error.

Ive notified all the local authorities, pawn shops, handlers etc to be on the lookout, so whoever took it will have a hard time shifting it on.

If it doesnt turn up, i get a new one cos my missus is going to pay for it if i pay for all the upgrades myself ! Thats not the point though is it !


Thanks for all the support guys n gals, appreciate it

Sorry for your loss...

I, like you yourself am a UK Member, so the theft would have a little more relevance to UK based guys
This leads me to asking a few questions:

Where was it stolen from? A race club? A housebreaking? From your car boot?
What area? Geographical info is always handy
Any photos?

As an owner of two EB4-S2 Pro buggies I will keep my eyes open. I am forever looking for EB4-S2 Pro related sales on Ebay(.co.uk) so a photograph of the buggy's bodyshell and/or chassis would come in very handy for identification pruposes

If I come across anuthing, you'll hear about it....

dude seriously vb, he just got his $600+ buggy stolen, he's just upset, and wants to make sure that everyone on the forum knows it was stolen.

But yea, any pics so we'll kno if we see it on ebay or something?

Can you claim on your contents insurance if it was stolen from house?
Good luck, i'll keep my eye peeled!!

[Thunder_Tiger_EB4_S2_Pro]

Err.............

Well, i DO have photos, but cant get them of my darned camera ! the car was stolen on a small field a few yards from where i live, i keep checking e bay, but nothing as yet.

It was stolen from Upper Edmonton North London (N18).

The list of identifying features is long enough, but i do have a copy on disc if anyone wants a copy. Incidentally, i HAVE kept back a small number of details so that i will KNOW if i see it, certain things only i know about.

The most distinctive is the body shell, if the neon side strips get taken off, then there will be to slits on either side of the body one at the front and rear each side.

I will do my best to get photos sorted, but may take a day or two.

ONE upside, is that my fiancee is replacing it for me with a BRAND NEW one. in two weeks. So i wont be "Without" for too long

INSURANCE ?? WHASSAT ?? Seriously though, it's not covered on my contents insurance as it was "not within the property when stolen". (I was actually mid point in sorting insurance out because I can NOT find a company who will insure it, any ideas anyone ?? Budget ? Churchill ? Co-Op ?, UK Only). The only reason I took the darned thing out, was to test a mod I made to the suspension !! The thing was going like a rocket too and handling like a dream, still I can do the same mod on my new one, but that is NOT the point.

My buggy insurance is so high, I keep getting into these fender benders every weekend at the track. I drive way to fast and I never use turn signals. Im trying to find insurance for my kids big wheel, but the rates are off the charts.

I hope you find your buggy, how great would it be to have 2!

[Diver6127]

how did they steal it from the field? Just wondering. were you adjusting something and the buggy was stationary when they snagged it? Was it over turned and then they snagged it? ...
