I am afraid I think Halford is correct.

My guess would be that it has either been taken to rag around some fields and will be lying abandoned somewhere or will be being broken for parts.

Therefore get a list of parts out and we will watch on Ebay or will look out for a Jimny that has been suddenly transformed over night with off-road parts.

The power of the forum has worked in the past!

I am intrigued as to how they got past the immobiliser but perhaps that's not a conversation to have on an open forum anyway,

Bought it in August just gone. It's parked outside the house ... Or was so any loud noises would be heard

Mmm, perhaps I shall put the old Stoplock back in the Jimjam again! Not that I leave it anywhere it would get stolen unless we are away. On the odd occasion it stays out on the drive overnight it gets blocked in by another car at least.

To the OP, I'm sorry to hear about this. I'll keep my eyes open on eBay for parts that may look like they've come from it. A spec list would be useful though - winch type and make, tyre make and size etc.

Only thing with making it to hot to handle will mean if it's striped for bits etc then they mite not sell them for a long time and by then everyone has for got about it and if the insurance company don't find it fast they take a long time to pay out being as your so close to the old owner I would pop around he mite be able to help maybe someone tried to steal it before or he mite know people u don't to keep a look out for it aswell worth a try

I'm in rotherham so will keep an eye out. If you make it hot you might find it dumped locally. Worth a try nothing to loose.

I dug out my old steering lock when I got my rag top. Not hard to break into a tent lol

Absolute scum. Nowhere near me but il post about and keep an eye on ebay and so on.

I think the others who say make it to hot to handle are right. Completely different thing but gun dog crime is big at the mo and a mate of mine had his two spaniels taken from his garden at night. The next day he posted on every possible site, forum, lamp post etc and they were found the next day wondering about 30 miles from where they were taken. Obviously a dog cant be stripped for parts but the more people that know the more ears and eyes you have working for you

Best of luck
