Anyone recognise the area?

the reg in the photo is a cloned reg lads.

They copied from that dealer; it's not my original reg.

Thanks Zombienosh, but since OP said it's a cloned reg they took off dealer I'll delete the link so the dealer doesn't get a bad rep.

if the plates arwe cloned how do you know for certain its your car? Have you told the Gardai about the ad?

Triangla · 11-01-2016 2:40pm

What about making an ad using the pictures on donedeal.

If the car was sold the new owner might see and contact you or donedeal to call shenanigans.

I won't go into detail of how I know as we're on a public forum, but I know it's my car.

The car hasn't been sold because it hasn't been insured on the cloned plates or old.

Guards are on the case.

threads like this, with random people helping each other more than make up for some of the ****e on boards.....yeah for the internet and people helping strangers...

Best of luck OP - hope you get sorted

Now the location has been identified maybe it would be best for a mod to hide this thread from public view temporarily? Wouldn't want anyone alerting whoever has the car before the gardaí do their thing.

Can we hope this implies a positive outcome?

I traveled up to The Ashes but no sign of it at all. My car appeared on done deal numerous times since.

The Guards tried to organise viewing it undercover but the sellers are very sketchy on Irish men. They'll only sell to foreigners and women apparently.

So a month later I gave up the ghost and bought a similar car. Four weeks later I got a call from a Guard saying she was out on her rounds at night and saw suspicious activity in a car park; went to investigate and there was my motor in them midst of a sale between two parties with criminal records.

So I get my car back with zero damage and I'm delighted. Just gotta sell the 2nd one!

Thanks all!!

Word of Warning: my car keys were stolen from my house!
1) Replace the key locks in your front and back doors with proper locks (~€60 a lock). Seriously; the locks that come with most doors aren't worth sh1te and can be broken in seconds.
2) Double lock your doors every night. Especially PVC doors.
3) Always turn on your alarm at night
4) Leave front/rear exterior lights on at night
5) Basically don't be soft target
