Stolen: Another sad end to a great classic

Disgusting. Someone has looked after that car for 30 years, only for some brainless moron to wreck it in 30 seconds. Richard Feetham

My dad’s 1996 Mazda 626 GLX went the same way. It was stolen when we were out for a family meal, then it was used in a bank job, after which it was set on fire in a pub car park. The car was mint and it was my dad’s pride and joy. Barry Pierce

The police phoned me once to say that if I didn’t move my ‘abandoned’, un-taxed, un-motd, uninsured car, then it was going to be towed away and crushed. Said car had been there for three months after it had been stolen from my garage – three months earlier. Paul Burt

Cars like that are stolen to get home. It happened to my mum’s Maestro, It was found outside a police station two weeks later. Yes, it had been there two weeks, reported stolen only seven miles away. John Watts
