I worked at a car body shop while in high school. The minute a tow truck left a wreck in our secure yard a couple other employees would search through the cars looking for stuff to steal. Dirtbags. I used to try and beat them to it and secure the stuff for the owner. I found a roll of silver half dollars once and when the owner came looking for them the next day I was glad to see the shop owner hand them to him. He pointed at me and the customer walked over, thanked me, and gave me two of the coins. I still have them 30 years later. I hope you catch the scumbags who took that stuff.
You’re on of the good guys. Good things to you. Best wishes from Edinburgh.
If only everybody had your honesty 🎄
We have stuff at work to taken out of cars for safe keeping when a car is written off . Trouble is X amount of the time they never bother picking the stuff up
Honest souls are hard to find these days. Good on you
You won the Long Game friend.
Even aside from the two silver half dollars, you still won because it's who you are in life, and that's not something you can cheapen with a piece of metal or selling another man's stolen property.
The storage company are liable for the theft of the parts as it was in there care, just claim off there insurance. Just don’t expect the plod to do anything they won’t be bothered. Pester the storage people for the results of there cctv search or ask for a copy of the cctv so you can review it yourself. It’s more likely the car was not covered by a camera and they are lying.
The small window of 3 days between the video going up, and the car going into storage is almost a guaranteed out for the storage company and thier insurance. Especially with that mirror being missing. That mirror being hidden under the seat in the video, and missing now means whoever stole from that car watched the original video because they knew exactly where to look for the mirror.
That's not saying it didn't still happen in the companies care, but they are 100% going to use that as an excuse not to pay out, and if they really had CCTV on it 24/7 then they will be covered, sibling as there's no video of it being stolen.
@@Yesthatsmyfirstname warning! Do not hide stuff under your bed, your mum will look there.
@@Jack-bf6hv not the same thing at all. But to be fair there's many a story of parents raiding thier kids rooms and taking things like smokes, drugs, p0rn and other things hidden from them.
Again, it's not right it was stolen, but people know Ferrari = Money, and widely advertising an abandoned Ferrari with easily stolen parts during 2020 when people are loosing jobs left and right, is not the brightest idea. Those parts should have been removed. Put in the owners house, or the guardians house he was talking about, or even his own house, that's just smart thinking. It's easier to protect yourself than it is the trust every person in the world to habe a conscious.
@@Yesthatsmyfirstname Most likely these items were stolen during that three-day window prior to the car going into storage with 24-hour CCTV security. The theft happened during that three-day window by someone fairly local and someone who knows about Ferraris, obviously.
@@Yesthatsmyfirstname I was trying to point out that everyone ‘hides’ stuff under their seat, or loses money that ends up there.
The people at the “storage” facility most likely stole the items. Those people seen a treasure trove of cool rare parts, and helped themselves.
They may not have seen the videos and just thought it was a scrapper that no-one would care about.
i think the owner of the storage facillity should be asked to pay perhaps by the police since they had the car moved (with great intentions). The owner could ask the employees to return the parts no questions asked, no cameras. Another more serious course is for the police to give all employees of the storage facility a lie detector test.
Winner winner chicken dinner! You are correct Sir!
Just like the people at every Auto Auction Lot in the US. There are ALWAYS, things missing from the cars even brand new ones!
@@carlfrederick8433 lie detector tests are not common here. Nor is common sense at times. Clearly someone in the yard has stolen the parts, likely a cheeky employee or maybe management are involved. Best bet for sure is to fess up, hand back the goods and no one gets jailed for last minute honesty.
WE HAVE YOUR BITS, wash the damn car and nothing gets hurt.
HA HA HA HA
Omg, thats hilariously british
I think i need to go to england and wash this car myself
YES!
Amen wash that thing
I’d contact a lawyer and get them to help you get the footage form the storage place and if they refuse sue them for the lost items as if they didn’t go missing then they wouldn’t have a issue showing the footage but if they refuse they clearly know it happened while it was In their care
Apart from the fact that the cctv was either broken or at best rolling the footage after a week or so.
agree, first piece of critical evidence is the cctv footage.
Yes, contact a lawyer. As soon as the car was on the truck the company was liable. The previous owner is the one to claim [for you].
The person to pursue the storage would be the previous owner not Scott. Scott bought the car after the stuff was nicked. Could you do a please can I have the stuff back and no questions asked ? Will you need to pay the owner more though ...
@@craigrobertson7938 while true if neither the previous owner or Scott authorized the sale of those parts then they are stolen and either can sue because as the owner of the car now Scott can also sue for theft of property as it belongs to the car and if they can’t be tracked down the storage unit is responsible for replacing them and whatever value difference exists between the original parts and the replacement ones as they cause the cars value to change In the us it’s called diminished value
Something smells..... "the owner was not very well.... the police decided without his permission this car had to go into safe storage". Err what? I am an ex police officer, who used to deal with this kind of thing. The *police* dont just decide to remove a vehicle from private property. No Sir. They will have removed it because of 3 main reasons a) sus stolen b) used in crime c) proceeds of crime. There are a few more obscure reasons, but I cant think any would apply to a classic car thats clearly been parked for many years gathering dust. If it was parked on the road, there are many more reasons but it wasnt. Something very odd going on here.... all I will say is make 100% sure you have proper and full ownership of that car Scott. It may come back to bite you.
I am not sure how it goes in UK, but in some countries police can confiscate property, if the person is under financial investigation such as tax avoidance or bankruptcy to ensure that the property is not sold and the money hidden during the investigation. This ensures that if there is liabilities or fines to pay after the investigation and possible court judgement, the property can be held until fines are paid or it can be sold to cover the liabilities.
...agreed, UK laws might be different in this regard but in the US the police have no authority to remove property from a private residence unless the above conditions are met...who exactly authorizes such a removal and how is it funded?...if the vehicle is impounded, fees need to be paid to get it back...
I’m glad someone else mentioned this. No way the UK Police would remove property for safe keeping. Something smells fishy.
I am in Canada and I knew someone who kept a Type E Jag for decades on his parking lot. Neighbors complained about it and the owner had to get rid of it when the police came in.
The timings all a bit suspicious too,....Sitting untouched for so many years then when someone is close to a deal it gets moved,...
Sad that the car survives outside for 12 years unmolested and then at the first opportunity when ‘safe-keeping’ has been forced upon it stuff gets nicked! I hope you get to the bottom of this and someone pays for it!
The irony of moving the car for safe keeping resulted in theft.
But was that the intention?
Under police request?
By arranging the movement of the car a window of opportunity arises [3 days] in which stuff could legit go missing.
However wouldn't the car be locked? No access to the bonnet release???
@@stuartd9741 the car had no keys, so was open with steering lock on (see other videos)
@@miff227 Yeah have watched the other videos. Just wasn't sure.
Thing is, if it was left open why
We're the items stolen *recently*
if it had been sitting there for 14yrs.?
Don't make sense....
@@stuartd9741 well it makes sense as they were stolen after the video showing them, or after the car went to storage where there would be people who know what to look for or just a mass of cars in one place so a ripe place for a thief.
The real question is why the police were involved at all.... Unless the house was rented and the car owner being long term hospitalised meant the lease expired... But still, why the police?
As someone else said, some kind of bankruptcy could be in play... Which starts to point the finger at the owner a little in those 3 days unaccounted for...
@@miff227 The UK police are rapidly becoming Stasi scumbags. Why the Brits put up with their antics is beyond me...
I work in brake down, one of the well know uk firms and I can personally say that contractors yards are a mess, the owners are usually stand up guys but the people they employ and pay minimum wage to and make work 24 hours a day are probably the ones cashing in. I don't like to say that, but some of the recovery drivers and yard workers have such bad attitudes it really doesn't surprise me that this has happened. I hope it all get returned and good luck with your restoration.
Make sure you contact all of the high value / supercar breakers like Douglas Valley etc so they know if they get approched. So sorry to hear the bad news, your a legend for sharing your stories with us.
I'll do my bit and scour the classifieds for you, so frustrating. Lets make them too hot to handle

Don't know if anyone else has suggested this or has been tried to by yourselves. You can look at historical web pages and searches if someone has tried to or sold these in the past. Go to web.archive.org/
No need. I know who stole the parts. He would never do it on a website. He does it in person and he doesn't sell to middlemen.

I hope you have good security at your garage after this incident
I guess SimplySafe doesn’t sell in the UK, or they’d be sponsoring his videos, like all the other RUclipsrs.
his garage uses NordVPN so doesn't actually have a real location
Here in Australia most of us with classic cars worth upwards of 60,000 have bollards in driveways or in front of the car in the garage. I've heard of people parting out cars in a night when the bollards were in place too.
@@drabhand same, garage door is dead bolted shut and a bollards in place, also store all of my tools in locked cupboards for this reason. It’s ridiculous how quickly you could strip an early 90s Japanese car 😩
@@GTRMGK yep, it's just scummy. Everyone with a decent ride takes a risk parking it anywhere too. Stupid thing is if you're driving a Lambo or McLaren or something too hard to part out, you're fine. It's definitely the Japanese and Australian classics they target.
VinWiki mate if anyone can track it down would be him ,make sure you do a check on there also .
This ferrari series just keeps getting better and better!
Sad to hear you lost some parts, but I also find it kinda cool that it happened to this particular car, it just shows how much soul this car has after it being in hibernation for more than a decade . Hopefully with the help of the internet gods you can solve this case. Can't wait for your next update and future adventures with this car. Cheers!
Previous owner: Leaves it outside for 14 years, then worries if it got a scratch in storage.
Yeah good point, though did he say something about the police getting worried about it, maybe misheard...
While people here are saying what should be demanded of the storage company/insurer/police they are disregarding the fact that at the time of storage/theft this car didn't belong to Scott and he is in no position to demand or expect any co-operation from them, it was the owner's business, not his. Now that he owns the car anything that happened to it is his business, but only *since he bought it* .
What a story. I trully hope that they can be returned. Best of luck
Some people are saying the items were stolen from you. They weren't. They were stolen from the then owner. You bought the car as seen, without the items
Okay bro, our mission is Locate Missing Parts . We’re all on to it 👍... Although while we’re doing this ,,, Your mission is - Get A Big Warm Bucket Of Soapy Water Plus Sponge & Finally wash the fkn thing ...
Yea, Wash the bloody thing ! Forget waiting around for AMMO NYC with his foam spray and microfibers!!! probably won't gain that many subs from him anyways !!!
lol
AMMO NYC will try to repair those dents with a scratch repair kit. Gave up watching him when he tried that bs on the keyed G wagon.
I had it happen to me. Had parts stolen off my two Porsches. It hurts makes you angry. Nothing you can do except learn from the lesson. Put a reward up, and watch the parts come back. Hard parts to sell or off load. keep posting video's keep the spotlight on it.
There is a possibility that whomever took the kit used it to "complete" another tool kit, maybe even for a different Ferrari. This could be quite a difficult hunt...
There's nothing easier to sell than pieces of something - and it makes more money.
Uncle Tony had a very interesting specialty, he could take an old Mopar and pick the chassis clean with Internet sales every bolt, flange and panel. He knows everything. People would just pay him what price they think is fair, which was generally market price and yet he could make 10-20 k on a car someone just wanted to be rid of. Thousands of people restore their Mopars and everyone is happy.
@@graham6229 except to a concourse restorer who ‘needs’ the exact right toolkit for their restoration. Which is why the original 2nd hand toolkit is thousands of dollars now, & you could replace all of the tools in it brand new from the snap-on catalogue & buy a Luis Vuitton bag to keep them in for less money...
Having sold my 328 3/4 years ago, I am almost certain I could identify the tool roll and jack set from 'my' car, if placed amongst half a dozen similar bits of kit. These rarely appear for sale on the popular websites, assuming they were stolen by the knuckle dragger with the intent to sell. I hope you get them back and no doubt you will give the storage company a tough time, and some deserved publicity.
Props to you for managing to stay calm during al of this. I like to think of myself as a calm composed guy, but if I had $20k missing I would not be very pretty.
That is the one thing i worried about restoring an old classic. I have had stock wheel rims stolen from an old mustang and worry about trim parts and everything else that is not bolted on. Some of these parts are not available at any cost and people just stealing classic parts is just no right. I remember when you bought a NEW CAR and it never had a locking gas cap and no one bothered your vehicle. I imagine Ferrari could replace the parts and I would like to see you make a video of the parts you needed and the stock 2020 ferrari replacement costs for those parts? Thanks and great video. RH DSD KING DIO
There will be 18 minutes of the CCTV tape missing, no doubt.
More of a chance getting the Epstein CCTV footage than this.
What did the storage company know and when did they know it?
Why the hell would the police decide to move a car that sat untouched for over a decade? And what right did they have to do that? Very strange
That part of the story was odd. The police cannot impound a vehicle sitting on private property, except for certain circumstances, such as customs and exercise cases. It was more likely the owner decided to move it and would have certainly needed to authorize it to be moved. #ratarossa maybe you can expand on that in the next video. I hope you solve this crime. Great channel, keep it up!
As the house it was in front of was no longer occupied due to the owner being in hospital. They suggested it be moved and he agreed as he was no longer there to safegaurd the vehicle.
The real mystery is why it wasn't stolen and broken for parts a long time ago as its location was known before these videos started.
Especially if they expect the owner to pay!!!!!!
@@adriangarnham6084 If the owner wanted it moved then fair enough. Sad that it results in thousands of dollars of losses
@@adriangarnham6084 How would the police know (or frankly, even care!) that the owner had gone into hospital? They certainly wouldn’t get involved over what happened to the houseowner’s car. They’ve got not enough staff and a lot more on their plate. That part just doesn’t add up at all.

This stuff was probably sold in the "for sale" section of some obscure Ferrari forum. Hope you get that footage for the storage company but if you havent already I woudnt count on it.
6:25 Even covered in mildew/muck the car's shape is breathtaking!
Sad thing to steal someone's car parts... Hope you get this solved and the bad guy gets his lesson of shame.
When hoovies garage ml63 amg got stolen everyone from the community helped to find it, and it also helped his RUclips career out alot, maybe this is a blessing in disguise for you too
I hope the people who took the parts watch this and anonymously return the parts. Its a key part to the cars history and I understand the frustration on them being removed shall we say
I had just this a few Yrs back.
While I was being held in custody my car was put into a police impound.
When I finally got it back a very large and expensive bag of coke had gone missing.
I had all that stuff from a Mondial that I owned years ago left in my garage until I retired and cleared everything in a skip. I now officially regret that action.
😱😱😱😱😱😱
It's quite good in a way that you've waited 6 months to pipe up about this as it means, if the crook sold on ebay or ferrari forums alike, they're bang to rights and easy to find .. Tinternet never forgets.
The only thing for sure is that the thief knew that the toolbox and the mirror are very expensive. Keep your eyes open at ebay and talk with your local parts breaker best of luck..
I know what it's like to have expensive parts stolen, it stings hard.
I'm assuming the storage depot have insurance, hit them up for the cost of replacement. You might find the parts miraculously show up.
The tow yard is probably not secure, usually they claim they are not responsible for lost of stollen items, but since the accounts of the car were for them store the car, and not just recover a wrecked abandon car they can easily be held liable for those parts coming up missing...
Time to do an eBay search for those items in the time frame involved, present the evidence to Plod (but don't hold your breath!)
To get the items back, point out a post box, or a drop off place, and declare "no questions asked" ... I've seen this work, in the past...Good Luck!
Wow, How awful and interesting at the same time. This is the story and build which will keep giving for along time. Best on RUclips.
I know who has your parts -> *Caldicot Recovery*
6:20 Believe me tow truck drivers an wrecker yards love going through cars. Seems like an easy case to solve, the problem is proving it.
Sad it happens a lot in storage and impound yards all the time with little to no recourse .
It’s standard in the industry, wholesale theft for employee extra wages
Obviously those items have gone missing while in storage or on route either way!
Questions I would ask-
1. Why leave those items in the car?
2. Was the car locked?
3. Was the car left outside or inside in secure storage?
4. Was it monitored by security or cctv?
It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to solve this one!
Those parts represent very easy money to someone, add in a pandemic, job losses, furlough, putting temptation right under desperate people noses and it's no wonder those items went missing! 🤔😯
Somebody been souvenir shopping and thought nobody would notice
I used to do a lot of auto electrical work for specialist restorers who worked on similar types of vehicles as this and they used to get some visitors come to them from all over the world just to buy any original odds and sods, anything from a trim clip to bolts, nuts, brackets etc for really big money back then (1990s). As you know having the correct original items like these will always add a special value to a car. Sadly these could now be anywhere just sat waiting on a shelf for a buyer to come along, or to get a call from a specialist dealer wanting them for a car they have up for sale. As you say these have no real worth to anyone apart from those who actually know what they are from - and are prepared to pay the price, and its a very limited market. Hopefully they haven't been stolen and just chucked into someone's home tool box as they don't really know what they are..... Good luck and I hope you do get those arseholes tracked down!
I would be looking at the person who requested or authorized the random "safe storage" at a random time for a random reason. , they either took the stuff, knows who did, or would be liable for the loss either way.
That moss covered 512BB looks so incredible. If I find that tool kit, I will pay any amount for it and then give it to you as long as you agree I get to bring my detail kit and carefully clean that Sterling off that BaBy. Oh yes!
I think we need clarification on the reason the police took the car into storage as one of the main points.
Yeah, that's not a thing so something else is afoot.
Probably a zoning violation and the owner couldn't handle it due to not being there
@@joeschmo5246 a what? More likely the car has been involved in a legal dispute as it was stolen or bought with dirty money. Or the original owner has died and now it can be moved on.
@@joeschmo5246 the car was parked on private property in the uk
Sorry to hear about the stolen parts. Here in the USA, the storage company is liable, UNLESS there is a clause in the contract that says they are not liable for the items in the car's interior, glovebox, trunk, etc.
As far as the 24 hr video camera ... the car was in storage for 6 months, yes? I doubt they have 6 months of video to look at. I bet the video they have - has been "edited" to protect company employees ...
It's unlikely the storage company would have cctv footage going back longer than a month, if lucky 90days but definitely not the 6 months it was in storage for, which is probably why they are slow in responding because they have no proof of there innocence.
They’re not going to respond because the tape will reveal it’s one of their employees that’s taken the missing items. IMO.
@@laceylouloulou I dont think so. Why would the Company defend an Employee. Ppl working at a storage def arent hofh skilled hard to find staff, so Im pretty sure someone jacked it beforehand or the tape doesnt show it, as it was deleted previously.
Also: If an Employee knows that the area is Videosurvailed, why would they risk it? They had now way of knowing how long the car is there, and thus couldnt bet on the Tape being deleted.
It would be way esier to to it enroute to the storage, or to the owner. Also its worth enough to share the profits or pay off someone.
@@martinmorsch7507 because the company would be liable for the stolen items.....
though 30 days is standard, it may well be different for a long-term storage company
@@laceylouloulou lol you think a company would standby an employee and then break the law by performing a cover up? Unless it was the owner of the company or a family run business it seems like a huge risk. They should have insurance against staff stealing or damaging property.
Sad to hear about this. But you did already the right thing. Make it public. The stuff is not saleable for a while. The next would be to offer some kind of ramsom to bring the thiefs to turn it back. Don't know what it could be though. The BB 512 is my favourite F. since I can remember it. Keep pestering about it and Good luck!
In Hindsight a list of all stuff on and within the car should of been made. The storage unit should be held responsible for all items
Everybody says storage stole the items. Who knows they were stolen before they took the car. Waiting so many weeks doesn't help finding things. A unlocked car is an easy target. Good luck getting the parts back. Love this project.
Modern day Crime fighters.. Let's go, 😁

Just love your videos. Sure hope you solve the mystery of the missing Ferrari parts. Cheers!
The story to take the Ferrari away from their and bring it back is so weird while it was also weird He asked you to come see it come back. Alot of owners sell these parts off to get more, I am offered toolkits, spare wheels, document pouches often . The interior mirror is very sought after and worth more than you stated. The toolkit on video looks same as 308 carburetor with orange screwdrivers and I know who has been looking for one in the UK for quiet some time the begining of 2020, and never bought it from me. I know everyone in the Ferrari parts and always on the look out for parts internationally. I guarantee these parts changed hands without going online. Contact me I sell rare Ferrari parts La Scuderia Rossa I have the external mirror glass and a toolkit if interested at low price
You’ve got to lean on the storage company who had the car and the transport company. Demand to see the driver check in sheets, Get the storage Co to supply the footage or you expose them for what they didn’t do, which we guess was paid for? Somewhere someone has CCTV in the area of the storage company also.
Police don't impound cars on private property
in the uk they do
@@jamielewis7809 no they don't, I'm in the UK and in the police.
@@neilg3364 did you watch the video the police confiscate/impound stuff the shouldn't all the time just because you are a copper it doesn't mean you know the law 😉
I'm not questioning you're knowledge of the law its a generalisation
@@jamielewis7809 ok
I think what you mean is they don’t impound cars “for safekeeping” (it was a surprise to me too). But (as you know) they impound them if laws have been broken or suspected to have been broken, and the car might have been involved.
I was with a mate who was taking a van back to Eastern Europe, full of "bits". We got stopped in Dover for over loading and it was impounded. We picked it up the next day, 3 40 litre containers of car wash detergent and 6 bottles of cognac were missing. They denied all knowledge of the theft and that's a Police approved yard. Absolutely unbelievable....
The storage facility or their insurance are liable for this. File a claim if they don't cough it up.
I'm sorry for you mate. There are very few people in life I dislike more than thieves.
CRAAAZY world we live in... I would ask Inspector obvious to solve this case.. you may need an ambitious lawyer to back you up with civill action ..
Hope you find them. This car needs to be complete !
I'd be looking at the next door neighbour, the great friend. 😂
This hurts in a personal level, I my self have lost a lot but for different reason I feel your pain brotha
I use a website called WorthPoint to look back at past eBay sales in order to determine values for things I'm going to sell and it goes back years. That might be of some use.
Scott, a very distressing and extremely mysterious story indeed. I hope you solve the riddle of the missing tool kit, mirror etc although I don't think I'll ever understand quite how the police came to be involved. Anyway, good luck with all that but, in the meantime, get that bloody Henry Hoover out and clean out all that crud from the interior, under the front clamshell and around the engine. What are you waiting for , the police to come and take samples ?
Why would the police have a car moved from a private drive way ?
Sounds weird to me
Because it is weird
Because it's classed as high value item... police have a duty of care to either locate next of kin to secure or secure believed high value items...
Here in the states your neighbors can complain, call it an eyesore and make it be taken care of. They did it to my Pop when he had his 2 ford galaxies sitting in the drive. Idk if it's the same over the pond but I'd guess it could be.
If you get sick and cant watch over whatever high value vehicle is in your driveway, I'd be quite happy to see somebody putting it in safe hands for me; especially if it's the police or a company that can stand liable for any incidents. What's happened explained in the video is however, fucking retarded, I'd sue them.
@@homefeatherstone9203 plus @Ratarossa has 114k subscribers, and suddenly put this vehicle in the public spotlight. It was a prime target, and lucky some gypos with flatbed didn't just turn up and cart it off under the guise of a legit storage company!
Scott I/we will help any way we can. Gumtree,Ebay etc be prepared to be interrogated!! Police should log it and give you a crime reference but with everything that is currently going on, this will not be a priority.All our emergency services are extremely busy..🚒👍
"Babe, it's not another project car, it's a rescue"
when I saw this video and found that someone had nicked the stuff it made me very sad. The tools are pretty unique to the car and I can't believe the security firm are dragging their heels on the matter. All talk and no substance. 🤔
Shame on them!
I do hope the fans can help and reunite the missing bits.

thats what im hoping .... more minds more chance
@@Ratarossa my family and I are following this build closely. Hope information arrives swiftly to you sir 🙏
@@Ratarossa it was a stupid decision making videos and showing everyone where all the valuable parts in the car were, you even showed everyone were you were hiding the mirror...
@@gto4609 The blame solely lies with the thief that stole the parts and on no one else.
@@chipware6433 im not saying that stealing is ok but the video that he did was like an invitation to steal those parts
Scott, when you visited the car for the first time, you should have mentioned this to the owner...to keep those things in an other save place instead of the car. You know exactly how value those items are and how it invite unfair people to do such things.
Towing company! Some one that works there.
Man that sucks I can see how upsetting this is. I hope you catch the thief.
It had to have been someone associated with the storage yard, a friend of the management. Obviously. Very sorry for your loss
I’m assuming either the owner, Vinnie or yourself Scott made a detailed inventory of what was in the vehicle before it got removed, what would have been better still would be to remove all those items and keep them in the owners house.
The fact it never got vandalised, robbed of parts or dragged off the drive during the night in over 14 years is a miracle in itself, sounds like it was getting famous, I would have been inclined to at least put a cover over it, take the valuable stuff out and run a big chain from the chassis to something solid
Getting the cctv will be almost impossible due to data protection etc. Just claim off the storage company’s insurance.
I'm sad to hear things got stolen. And it makes me feel sick that the ones asked to look after it are most likely the ones responsible.
However.... we all know what world we live in, so it is hardly surprising. It would have been better not to have left any of the loose stuff in the car... Because unfortunately you cannot be careful enough.
Not that this gives thieves the right to steal those parts of course. But it does present them with an easy opportunity.
For sure I will keep an eye out for the missing bits and let you know if I spot something. Good luck with the search!!
Loving the Boxer project. It is one of my dream cars!! One of the proper old school, manly Ferrari's.
Do you know there’s a toolkit on eBay, no branding on the tools. For sale by a guy who owns a storage unit in the Midlands? Has a lot of Ferrari kit for sale including a Jack.......
Link?
Guy called CFP275?
@@adammcallister2260 yes. but obvs don’t want to cast aspersions if that’s a legit business.
He has a wheel knock off hammer from a BBI. Not saying he's involved but he might be a good contact as he sells lots of Ferrari accessories
Regardless of whether the parts were stolen at the storage facility or not, they should be liable as the bits went missing under their custody if it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that they were present when the car was originally collected.... If it's a case of your word Vs theirs ( no inventory recorded at the time of collection) then it's a bit more complicated... But I would have thought an insurance would or should pay out if they cannot be recovered. Good luck 🤞
Such a sad story...just hope that CCTV footage bring some information up!
They are not going to have six months of 24h footage, obviously. And the storage can easily claim that the items were stolen during the three days that the initial video was made and the car got picked up. It could have been anyone. A neighbour, the previous owner himself. Anyone. So the storage company is out of the clear anyway. Even if they took it.
what a shame. This thing needs a deep investigation. Either the previous tow truck driver stopped at the side of the road after he picked it up or it was stolen while on the way back to you. This is if the CCTV footage comes up clean. Having worked in CCTV i know that reviewing it can be a huge pain in the arse especially if youre asking them to review months and months of footage but finding out who stole your stuff should be their top priority and they should have kept you updated every step of the way.
They should have immediately reimbursed you the value of the items and then dealt with their insurers in their own time but i guess nobody wants to admit fault so it has to be a full on investigation.
If the storage company is refusing to co-operate, Its time to get lawyers involved and put pressure on them. Somebody will know what happened to the stolen items and you need to put pressure on the people involved to give them up.
Your things are secure -ly in our pockets :) gooooooooood shit. Have a friend who had to get work done on his truck and it had a skid plate on the underside front and the shop "forgot" to put it back on after the work was done.
In the early 90s My brother had a Peugeot 309 gti.
Took it to the garage for some work.
It had an immaculate spare alloy wheel.
On return of the car the spare had miraculously become worn and corroded.
Needles to say once a complaint had been made the original wheel was returned.
Can't remember the excuse used.
Shocking...
I heard a story once about a guy who had his rare high performance transmission swapped out while in the shop for another unrelated repair. He discovered it on the drive home. When he got home, he looked under to see the lesser standard transmission. Got in his truck and went down to the shop. Walked in with a hand dolly and said he would return in 5 min and that his transmission had better be on it when he got back. No other words were spoken, and the dolly had his trans on it when he returned.
FINGERPRINTS ... FINGERPRINTS ... FINGERPRINTS ! There is over a decade of dust and humidity in that car, so I'm sure that there are human prints everywhere. Best of luck. 😀
I think we need to keep an eye out for these items on ebay, graigslist, etc. The thieves will need to sell them eventually right?
The problem is time, ebay and craigslist only keep old ads for I think 30 or 60 days after the item is sold, so if these were taken back in may/June/July those ads are going to be gone unless someone saw the stuff listed and had a bunch it came from this so they documented it.
More so now we're banking on whoever may have bought the items realizing they belong to this car and presenting them. Then you can get in contact with the company who they bought through and possibly track the transaction to the seller that way.
Probably stole them to order
If I was a theif that stole a rare tool set from a specific car I wouldn't just throw them up on a free listing service like a set of dewalt drills. They knew what they were taking, they're going to know their audience. Going straight to existing owners or people that service these cars is going to be easy and it's a direct sale. No out there for the whole world to see listings.
Good luck Mate 🤞🏼fingers crossed for a result..
Had one car in a recovery/storage yard and it had a load of stuff stolen from it. So my money is on recovery driver or yard worker but its gonna be them.
That sucks. Hope you get it all back. 🤞🏻
Just a thought Why did the Police want it moving after its been there so long without a problem and the neighbour was taking care of it any way ???
How has it taken this long for people to question this whole story? Obviously the car has a dodgy history. Probably been stolen and hidden at some point.
You may have already done this but I have just checked ebay sales history unfortunatly it only goes back to the begining of October. No sign of this set. It is extra rare because it has the oil wrench included. Contact ebay they may be able to help. Good Luck.
Something tells me it’s one of your RUclips + Instagram subscribers... well not like that mirror was really well hidden.. i don’t know, but hope you ll get your stuff back
The sad part is the Previous Owner gets the update because it wasn't your Property yet so unless the previous owner is Super Motivated your chances of getting the items back doesn't look so good mate
I'm just gonna say, Richard Rawlings as been spotted on vacation in the UK sometime in september
So what exactly gave the police the right to remove a car from a private property? Surely this makes them liable to any missing parts if they arranged for the car to be removed?
Sam Crac is suspect #1
I though so to !
Ha Samcrac is responsible somehow - let’s see if the parts appear in Florida - or perhaps on another uk based Ferrari channel so time to do some investigation 👍🎯
Am I missing a meme here?
