Bongo Fury

Hi there,

my name is Sabine from Bristol. Unfortunately our Bongo (silver, with pop-up roof and green lining) was stolen last week. Wekk commencing 23.11.2020.

As you can imagine - we are devastated and appreciate any help. The poilice is informed as well as the harbour police. 2 Bongos were stolen in that week - our and the one from our neighbour, which is sooooo baddddd! Our neighbours got theirs back, but ours is gone???

If you can help to look out, that would be awesome.

Our Bongo's registration is: P248RYB, silver and has a Banksi-Bad-Panda sticker on the passenger seat site, plus 2 stickers at the rear - one donkey sticker and a green sticker with the phrase: We love the Gower. We changed the upholstery, when we bought our van, which might also help. Please see attched pics.

Thank you all for your great help.

Warm regards - Sabine / Bristol / 07900445075

Really, really, sorry to hear this.

We're in Nailsea and will certainly keep an eye out.

Mega thanks, Bob.

It is a drama - our Bongo was sooo special to us.

Many, many thanks - Sabine

Relate to that.

Most of think the same, thinking of you and your loved ones.

I'm very sorry

Hello Everybody,

we got epic good news. Our stolen Bonfrom from Bristol was FOUND! We are over the moon - as you can imagine! She only needs a few things done, which is good. Otherwise (the people) all the stuff were turned upside down and only a couple of things were stolen.

We are just very HAAPPPPYYYY, that our van is back!!!

Big hug to you all for your good energy,

Sabiene from Bristol xox

That's great news, must be a relief!

Thanks, it is ))! So happy our van is back xoxo

That's such good news.

Might be worth looking into something like the Disklock:

Prices vary so have a look round, I'm pretty sure the small fits Bongy.

Problem is the Bongo was never intended to be sold outside Japan, where there is almost no car crime, so they didn't fit particularly fancy locks.

Just glad he's home.

Mega thanks for the GREAT HELP !

Great news, was reading this and thinking poor people. Bongo’s are more than just a vehicle to their owners!! So glad you got it back!

Mega thanks, But just replied to another Bongo owner here from Bristol, who is looking for their stolen van. Bristol is now hot spot for the gang, which steals BONGOs. BAAAD and nasty!!! S

Bad news, indeed.

Sorry to hear this.

Further to this, ADS have contacted customers with a warning that thieves are moving out of Bristol to surrounding towns, so if you live anywhere near I suggest upping your security.

Hey Bob, mega thanks for the info. I am sure if we all alert each other, it is much appreciated. Warm regards, Sabine @ Bristol
