Stolen Dedra Manuals

[Raz]

Now the regs who've been around for a while may vaguely remember me
lamenting the fact that two volumes of extremely rare Lancia workshop
manual went missing from the boot of my first Dedra Turbo whilst I was
in the office paying for it. I got the Police involved and everything.


Guess what's turned up on ebay? Yep, the manuals. Guess who's selling
them? Yep, the garage where I bought the Dedra.


Here's the ebay item:

Luckily the "winning" bidder is the TDC of which I used to be a member,
so I contacted them and went back to the police and they went over to
the garage, who showed them the manuals and his copy of the bill of
sale for the car which had no mention of the manuals, so the police say
there's no case and I'd have to take up civil court action.


Why would I have caused such a fuss if I hadn't been led to believe
that the car and the manuals were sold together? The bill of sale says
"sold as seen" and the car was seen with the manuals and I clearly
remember the salesman telling me I could have the manuals with the car.
Also, all members of staff at the garage denied any knowledge at the
time when I noticed they'd gone. They didn't help the Police when they
visited a few days later, saying there was no evidence. Why did they
leave it almost three years before trying to sell them?


I just want justice done really, I no longer have any need for the
manuals but if I get them back, I'll give them to the TDC for free.


These are the thieving gits by the way:
