Via GTNige on the P&SMOC Forum:

I am a stolen vehicle examiner for Cheshire Police.
I am currently trying to identify a possible stolen Rover Mini Cooper.
It has had all it’s identity removed but I have not given up hope of returning it to it’s rightful owner.
I am looking for your help to try and locate who it may belong to.
It is British Racing Green, white roof, 13″ Mini lites. It is an injection model and has the fixings for four spotlights on the bumper. It has a walnut dash, leather steering wheel with airbag and matching gear lever gaiter.
Apart from this there is not much more I can tell you.
There are a couple of ‘unique’ touches which I wont reveal publicly, but the ‘loser’ would be able to describe.
Please spread the word, ask your friends, and ask them to ask their friends. Post this on as many Mini other forums that you may frequent.
There is no reward other than the satisfaction of bringing a smile to a fellow Mini owners face.
Please let me know by e-mail on mike.nash ‘AT’ cheshire.pnn.police.uk
