Just noticed this myself... Glad it turned out ok.

One suspects they don't inform you too quickly so the storage charges increase?

Yes! Not what you might call the most obvious of crooks - but they got my money didn't they!!!

Im' Gutted! - Sat 17th Oct. Ben broke down and had to be left, by the time I returned to sort him out he had GONE! He broke down on the A404 in Maidenhead, just before the roundabout that joins the M4 at Junction 8/9.

Anyone seeing or hearing news of a Red white and blue RD03 that might be Ben, please call the police and PM me.

Thanks

Meesh

Good news! Good news! GOOD NEWS!! BEN IS HOME!

Reported him stolen on Saturday..... nobody knew what had happened to him... not the police, not the council..... but (after a short period of bawling like a baby and running around like a headless chicken!!) Meesh (super sleuth!) was hot on the case! Having delved into the murky depths of the dark alleys; scoured the countryside with my magnifying glass and called half the nation in a bid to get clues.... I emerged triumphant!!

I caught the so-and-so's that had thieved my bike...... It was the Bl***y Highway Agencies!!!! Took it 'cos it had broken down in an area where they were obliged to keep it clear, but never thought to let anyone know!!!!

Anyway, several phone calls and a lot of money later Ben was freed from his imprisonment. But still broken down!!

Fortunately one of our XRV family was on hand to help! Armed with a can of fuel and jump leads and a bit of help from another biking enthusiast in 4 wheels, Bigrog managed to get Ben going again. My thanks indeed to Rog - a godsend, in the right place just at the right time - thanks

Ben is back at home safe, but the detective work is not over, for now I need to investigate all the little things on him that are not right and contributed to his breaking down - e.g check the oil etc

Seems my panic was for nothing.... but if the recovery companies thought to link in with a national system, the police would have been able to tell me straight away. As it is I knew before them..... and thank goodness I did that too... the storages charges would have been a small mortgage if I'd left it!!!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.... it was these that lead me onto the final discovery and thanks for your kind wishes.

BTW BobA... I have just realised that the Maintenance day clashes with the Christmas meet in Derbyshire, so have a dilemma here!
