Our friends Colin and Rosie Grantham, organisers of Moira Furnace Folk Festival, had their campervan stolen from their drive last night - no keys were taken so either by being lifted or towed or started by foul means.

The registration is RX58 CPF although well aware the plates have probably been changed by now - the folk network has had quite a few successes in tracing things like stolen instruments lately so a question of keeping eyes peeled - hope the link will give a photo which has been shared on facebook:-

You get about 2 seconds to view the picture before the Facebook Police demand you log in.

I hope they get the camper back.

Yes bummer indeed - I had my Ford Transit Camper conversion stolen on 14th Aug 17 - I presume it was either towed or broken into - the Police (real ones!) said probably with a Tibbe Key (you can see how to steal a Transit with such a key on U Tube!!)
             REG : BX11 HUA

Sorry sont know how to put on a photo but it was plain white, rear windows and plastic windows at the sides behind cab. However my insurance have now paid up and so the van is now theirs !!


Let others beware - get tracker, wheel clamp, etc.
