Hi there, unfortunately some kind individual has helped themselves to my motorhome, stolen from outside my house last night in Stannington, Sheffield, S6, Monday 1st Feb between approx 4pm and midnight. If anybody sees it driving about or knows anything please get in touch. reported to police and insurance but thought i would share the news.
*** Update, still missing however, was spotted on CCTV just up the road from the place it was stolen passing on Monday 1st Feb @ 22.41pm followed by what looks like a white BMW 1 series. White Car and my Van also spotted approximately 10minutes later turning of Malin bridge onto Loxley road, this information was passed onto the police, and people have offered for the police to go view their CCTV footage but as yet the police have failed to action on this. No more sighting since, Had an an alarm and an immobiliser so must have been pros to get around this without causing too much noise. Was a quiet cul-de sac where it was taken from. Thanks for all the responses and suggestions. Unfortunately no further news. ***
**** As an update, unfortunately there has been no further sighting of my van, Police showed no interest in investigating the theft, really disappointed with how South Yorkshire police dealt with me. i found them to be extremely unprofessional, completely disorganised and clearly under resourced. completely lost faith and respect for them.
As much as i would prefer my van back, i have had accept its gone, so i reached a settlement last week with the insurance company. I do not normally praise insurance companies ( i was fully expecting a long drawn out battle). it was insured by Comfort Insurance who are partnered with Aviva. The Staff at Aviva were absolutely brilliant, polite, sympathetic and never felt like they were trying to wriggle out of paying. They have offered me a true market value for the van. They also made me a sensible offer for the contents in the van that were also taken. Made a difficult experience so much easier. Thanks to all the people that took time to comment, and thanks to Go European motorhomes for their advise and help, much appreciated. anyway onwards on upwards the search for a replacement Malibu starts now ****
