Oh cripes, I'm so very sorry to hear that. Who in their right minds would think stealing a Bongo was a good idea? I hope Galileo turns up before long. Keep us posted and we'll all keep a sharp eye out in case she comes our way. Don't know what more I can say - that is really bad luck but ya gotta just keep on going (easier to say than do I know but...)

Sorry to here about your Bongo got to agree with Rooster about Wilson Road, I was born in Huyton.

Seems to be tougher than ever around the 'pool these days. When I visited an old flame in Bootle a few years ago in a brand new Jeep cherokee I parked it outside the local cop shop (courtesy of her son in law a local cop) rather than park it outside her house. Even though it had a tracker device fitted.

hi y'all,
thanks for all the kind wishesbut the news is bad :!: :cry: :cry:
galileo has been missing since sunday night and yesterday(new years day) about lunch time, i went to the local shop to get a paper and i saw billowing black smoke. i followed the smoke until i could see the source- to cut a long story short, the police cant confirm that it was galileo as there were no plates on it however they were found nearby. the wreck is at a garage who are looking for a chassis no. to confirm ownership. when they do i will get a letter and a recovery bill. so for now, i cant do anything until i get confirmation. galileo has gone as well as my awning and a few other bits. its a good reason for not keeping gas bottles in vans as galileo was left next to a a house( who didnt bother to cantact the police!). galileoII will have better locks and alarms.

cheers
alex and jan

Perhaps on Galileo 2 you could fit a tracking device like this:

I have one on mine, and although it's not very good in rural areas, in cities you can track your vehicle to within 150 metres.

Apparently JL Airport was brought to a halt the other day when a suspicious car was spotted in the car park, it still had all four wheels and none of the windows was smashed.

thanks ian, that looks very good. the only drawback is neither jan nor i use vodaphone so i suppose we would have to buy a cheap payg mobile. i will bare it in mind.
