What timing! A guest just turned up at one of the holiday cottages my wife looks after,chap has a Range Rover. He got out of his lovely car and I kid you not he chained it to a lamp post just like you would a bicycle 😂. I'll have to get a picture tomorrow!

Imagine having a heritage fleet without installing several concealed trackers.

There are rumours that Land Rover have reported it stolen and dismantled it themselves, to help a little with their dire parts supply situation.

I am a postman of 45 years, but when I first started at Royal Mail one of my round/walks included delivering to Edgbaston Golf Club One day I arrived to deliver the mail and found 4 Volkswagen cars which had been bought there to promote the vehicles they were left over night and all the wheels were stolen and they were left on bricks, those they couldn't get off they slashed the tyres.

The reason no heard of this is because JLR swept it under the carpet through embarrassment, another Land Rover Stolen vehicle description:- a very rare, low mileage, a Heritage example. Could it get any worse for Land Rover?

One of two things, it is already broken for parts or it is on its way to West Africa. Sad end

Some years ago someone told me that JLR had to step up security as Range Rovers where being stolen from their factory parking yard for new motors.

This is odd because land rovers are normally so difficult to steal. Perhaps it was aliens!

I live in Northampton that made me chuckle. 😂 There's a travellers site in Billing. Always them.

You could not make this up. Great detective work Geoff. 😅❤

Whilst I was working for a holiday camp in Dawlish Warren, Devon. I was curious that someone had parked a classic Maserati with a foot of its bonnet in the hedge that surrounds the car park and it stayed there not moving for three days. I decided to call the police as I expected it had been stolen and was parked there just in case it had a tracker on it. The police were happy to here the news and popped straight down to see it. The story goes that the owner had had it shipped down to a dealers in Exeter to be serviced and the driver had just left the keys on the reception desk. A dodgey person took the keys and drove off in the car and obviously decided to hide it in the out of the way car park. If they had not parked it so badly I would not have thought much about it and would not have phoned the police ha ha ha.

My I-phone overheats at this time of year if in direct sunlight. Keep it in the shade. That sorts the problem. Mounting it in a car where it gets the sun directly on it will cause it to overheat & shut down. The phone also makes some heat when in operation.

That’s bloody hilarious 😂😂🤣🤣

Hi everyone, it was actually on the Saturday it was stolen the heritage guys left it went back to there hotel in there 2 other landrovers and left that one behind we alerted security as we witnessed 4 Irish traveller types hovering around it and within seconds and drove it off with no issues straight out the gate when we spoke to the heritage guys the next day didn't seem bothered and said it didn't have s tracker fitted either , no wonder they didn't want people to know

A stolen Landrover? somebody must have had a spare set of lollipop sticks (keys).

I wonder if the JLR event manager still has a job. Its probably in Albainia by now.

You would have thought that the value of the display cars would warrant paying for security; but the company has little regard for its customers so I’m not surprised that incompetence spreads to this.

Oh no 🙉 Marketplace & Autotrader’s crashed. 😂

Remember when Wheeler Dealers had a trailer and car stolen? That was down the road from me lol

2:21. My bricklayer friend had one of these, he would get it covered in cement and pug at work then at the end of the day dip it in a bucket of water and use a scrubbing brush to clean the phone before going home the same as his brick laying tools tools.

a new day..... a new rabbit hole 🤣great find and follow up thanks Geoff, it could even be a inside job as JLR might not even exist over the next 3 years.... maybe a bit like a service bonus for a high ranking member of staff or something but thanks for keeping us informed as the mainstream media prefers to pick and choose what they report on nowadays

I think it’s time JLR did something about their ignition locks and immobilisers so that fellow JLR owners can get cheaper insurance premiums. My 2007 L322 premium has doubled this year from last years premium.

extreme temperature? it's only been sunny half a day! 😃

Next Vlog has Geoffs new deerstalker hat and curly pipe in attendance. 🔍🧐🤭🇬🇧

Don't forget digital number plates will come out soon. They change colour if your not insured mot'd or taxed and can be tracked.

Not the first time JLR have had stuff stollen at Billing. One year they left a G4 on their stand overnight and the next morning, the kayaks and bikes had gone missing from the roof rack. Also never recovered.

I saw LR58 SVX yesterday! Jumping sand dunes in Dubai, fully sic it was!

They should be able to track it. 😂

Great catch Geoff, thats an amazing story. U brong is the best information!!😮

I thought cars of that vintage and expensive would have had a Vehicle tracker fitted! Marc In Bletchley

CAR VERTICAL? GEOFF NO. HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MUCH THEY ARE CHARGING PEOOLE FOR A CHECK THAT COST £5.99

It's just hilarious, you couldn't make this up😂😂 well spotted Geoff ❤

i still use a nokia 3310.....bliss

That land rover is stripped down in a container en route to Ghana

sure its was at billing around 7 or 8 years ago a high spec modded JDM car was stolen driving out or the show ground was found though can not remember all he details just remember all the stuff on retrorides about it

Hi Geoff from Australia. Love you rocking the Quicksilver shirt! They are made down the road in Torquay.

Maybe they need the insurance payout 🤔

Happened to Wheeler Dealers, if I remember right a mk 1 Escort was stolen from a trailer outside their hotel, Mike and Elvis were stunned. A friend of mine once went to a newsagents in Liverpool on his bike, he chained it to a lamp post outside, went in the shop and bought his papers. When he came out his bike had gone and in it's place was an old bike frame chained to the lamp post with his own chain.

Unbelievable !!🙄🙄 clown planet of note🤦‍♀️

This is pure gold😂 I can't believe by chance that you stumbled across this.

I did sub contracting at Solihull for a while and there were rumours of many defenders just being driven out the gate in convoys never to be seen again

Geoff, if you wanted cheap landy spares, you shoulda 📞 called me 😅

Someone did the same with a Jag XJ 220 many years ago. They knew the start sequence, it was on a plinth at an event. They walked up got in, started it, and got as far as the gate before someone realised that they were stealing it. Fortunately they were stopped.

woopsie... i wonder if it was insured through the landrover scheme.. will they loose their NCD... my nokia is working just fine, fiver a month contract...

Hi Geoff, as a resident of Northamptonshire, can I point out that we pronounce Houghton as 'Howton'

Ooopps ! I wonder which container ship it is on ? Haha

Spent many a happy summer in Billing 😊

I was at Billing. The security told me they put the camping field into lockdown once they knew 🪕

Great detective work Geoff 👍

I didn't even read it in the local rag (Northampton chronicle & Echo)

'Billing Off' sounds quite appropriate then, JLR will be 'billing off' another car off their lineup lol

Next lotuseaters segment should be like this. Good to see you there i still am sceptical about AI. But i like the AI memes.

Oh, the irony!

You can’t expect a police force that thinks ‘an Land Rover event’ is correct English to be capable of finding a stolen vehicle let alone anything else !

This is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh this morning Geoff. 😃😃

That's nuts Geoffrey. Great tale.

Reminds me of the wheeler dealer MK1 fiesta that went missing from outside their workshop

Just seen one of these in a left hand drive in Tenerife, very nice

Land-Rovers can do more mileage a year just going up and down the ramps for repairs....

It can't have gone too far…….it is a Land Rover.

I heard some 6r4 rally cars were stolen, brand new

I have a couple of those phones! 😂

One for you Geoff Land Rover is part of Tarta steel

Brilliant!! gotta have some balls to do that.... where was Jason Statham and Vin Diesel during this time?

And this is why that "Politically Correct" classic car magazine didn't feature you in their "favourite KZfaqrs" article... Your investigative journalism puts their miserable rag to shame.

Great accidental stumbling Geoff. 😂

It's already been put in a container and shipped out of the country probably to West African Container port for movement around the African continent. The reason JLR want say anything is it shows how poor there security is on there vehicles hence reason insurance is expensive if you can get it. The law should be changed to have GPS Trackers with cloud based movement logs fitted in all new vehicles in the UK with older vehicles being able to be retro fitted

You couldn't make this shit up

Hey Geoff, how can the NewBritish manage to insure a RangeRover? Apparently one of the guests on the BibbyStockholm has bought one!

Every year cars, parts or vehicles are stripped at billing. One of reasons I don't go as it's too risky leaving your vehicle there.

SWEEEEEET!!! Cool Geoff... GGG!!!

Excellent !😂 Oh yes, and it’s pronounced Little Howton not Little Horton. There actually is a Little Horton a few miles from the Little Houghton that you are referring to. Just so’s locals are not confused …

someone walked up to the stand and said " im here to pick the car up " and someone just handed them the keys !

That could be possibly the best paid YT video I've ever watched.

Investigative journalism at its finest Geoff, u rock. I had to watch this three times to have it sink in how incredibly embarrassing this is for LR. Rumour I heard, it was an inside job since LR bonuses have been cut.😊😊😊

I used to own an S1 phone, as I was working in Construction. A total rubbish phone, even back then!

So, when the Land Rover Stand Supervisor was happy with the placement of LR58 SVX on the stand, he took the keys out and put them....he did take the keys out, didn't he?

Cool story, Geoff.

Obviously, as it is such a rare vehicle, it's fitted with a multitide of trackers? Isn’t it?

Try South Africa

Hi your vids are good mate i now have 3 up you could make them a topic of conversation ( but you need to watch and understand them as were not off roading were on highways )

50p says it was driven away using the keys. I know they're not exactly secure but a transit defender is a bit more robust than an older model where you'd only need a chip fork.

Interesting, I also looked it up and it is only listed on a neighbourhood watch style site with info apparently from local police. Understandably it is on a SORN, so presumably trailered to the event.

Mmm.. big landy show... sure the sluths who search high and low for there perfect landrover might find it but its probably in parts by now flat-packed... 😔.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wow 😮

I think I still have one of those Nokias in a drawer. Yes they were good. My phone gets hot now since a recent update. My son on EE and had a recent number change. Since then, texting has stopped working.

It's in the Ukraine

I live in Northern Ireland UK, gosh, England looks to be such a dangerous place.

They probably left the keys in it....🤔😳🙄😀🇬🇧

I live in N/pton and will tell you now that car would have been at Felix Stow Docks early Monday morning ready to be shipped. David UK.

Its in a container, going on holiday to another country.

That’s why we have to pay so much insurance Lamd Rober are pulling one probably never stolen

In a container on its way by sea to Saudi I expect.

That is a damn fine video. Bloody funny.

In the U.S., the 'car vertical' program is 'CarFax'.

You can't make it up..... Common sense has disappeared like the car.... WHY was the car left in a field overnight. Surely land rover could of paid out for a truck to trailer this back to Solihull headquarters. You couldn't make it up, even if you tried

I blew a head gasket last year in Milton Keynes this year haven’t been able to go as truck is broken but may get two there next year 😂😂😂😂

Embarrassment they feel dam stupid.

Guaranteed someone’s got some footage of this leaving the show 😬
