PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP?

A much-loved bronze-coloured Ford Escort Mark I two door saloon, registration UFX 365L, was stolen on April 12th, 2022 from a private driveway in Wallisdown, east Dorset. It is believed that it was taken in the early hours of the morning.

This car is still missing and the owner, Graham King, is appealing again to see if anyone can help with information. He is offering a substantial reward for genuine information leading to safe recovery of the car, which he has owned for many years.

At the time that the Ford was stolen, it had a car cover on it and a Krooklock was fitted. At the time the passenger front seat was not installed.

If you have ANY information, or if you can recall seeing the car being driven or on a recovery truck in the early hours of Tuesday 12th April last year, or if you have seen the car parked anywhere, or maybe have been offered an Escort, or parts, or have any information at all, please contact the police and/or Graham directly. His Mobile number is (07982) 054324.

Alternatively please contact Nigel Trickett of Trickett Welding, Business number Tel. (01202) 625050 or Mobile (07831) 657831. Nigel restored the car for Graham and has maintained it for many years.

Graham will not give up on this vehicle and would love to be reunited with his car, after many years of ownership.

Please share this plea widely; thank you.
