I was 13. I was thinking the same. I don't remember it looking that dated! It looks like a long lost world now. The difference of fashion and technology between mid 90s and 2000 seemed huge. Meanwhile I can't see much visual change in the last 10years.

Yeah that's why you leave your dash cam running after an accident so you get the face of the other driver or use a button hole camera pen camera or watch camera to covertly get their face in case the car is on cloned plates. Better still phone the police and claim your injured so they turn up or at least phone them and check the plate isnt showing stolen.

There was a lot of stolen cars back then they where easier to take and didnt have the security locks or keys programed to the car i worked in a body shop where we got loads of stolen recovered cars to repair we had pop keys to get in them if they didnt have keys but most where a screw driver and scaffold bar to break the steering lock these days they just drag the cars off with a ihab or breakdown truck . I heard of a crazy way a landrover was stolen with 4 hubcaps and a tub of greese the theifs jacked it up put hubcaps under each wheel and greased the bottom of the hubcaps and pushed it round the corner to a waiting recovery truck this was in the mid 90s off someones front drive .

Heartbreaking to see this, especially the woman with the white Metro. It's a great shame that the police don't put as much effort into recovering the victim's money as they do into recovering the vehicle for the insurance company. I wonder if the officers realise just how much they've wrecked her life. Something tells me they couldn't care a damn.

@@limpet7r63 I know it wasn't, but the point I was making is that the crime didn't stop with the theft of the car. The people who bought the cars in good faith were duped out of large sums of money and the police did nothing to recover what was in effect stolen from them. The original owner and the insurance company were made whole again, but the victims were not. The police only solved half the crime, which I don't think is good enough.

A very interesting video, on how the UK police used to deal with stolen motors. Very surprised that they got shipped to NZ, of all places. I know that the UK police are very lax on stolen motors now, and its a real shame, as this crew of police, seem to be really good at getting the man behind the scenes of stolen motors. Tis a shame to see genuine people lose their money upon finding out that their car is or was stolen, or written off. Thanks for uploading.

It’s all done for the cameras. In reality British police don’t do fuck all if your car gets stolen. As a UK resident, my parents have had their share of cars stolen and phoned 999 only to be put through to a useless police force that simply didn’t care and thus put no effort into pursuing the thieves. The world record for lowest theft rates for any nation is actually held by Saudi Arabia. The penalty for theft out there is amputation of the hands. Hardly surprising really. Only an idiot would fall afoul of a law that carries a penalty like that.

@@billgriffiths1685 A boss of mine had one of those in the early 90s. Had it nicked from outside his house one night while he was asleep. Fisrst he heard was when the police rang him to say it had been reported driving away from a petrol station without paying for fuel. After subsequently having been used in a ram-raid it was found burnt out from the wheels up on waste land. The insurance company paid out the full value. I'm pretty sure he'd have got less if they knew the actual mileage it had done.

Auction company putting a metro thru block with filler and no VIN plate under bonnet? Police should be visiting them and saying if more stolen cars appear that were sold there, that are so clearly stolen (to trade people), then they be shut down. Auction company knew that car was bent...having somewhere to pass on stolen cars that have had zero effort put into hiding them encourages theft.
