Title: Status VW broken into and lots stolen Post by: Lids on October 30, 2009, 21:33:38 pm "just to let you know status has been broken into and everything stolen. so if you get offered seals at low prices its prob been stolen. or very rare parts
The break in was at our new premises. We would be most grateful if you could put details in your club newsletter and also inform the other clubs. A lot of the parts they took were what Barclay had bought for his 1951 at Bad Camberg and at Hessisch and are virtually unreplaceable and was keeping them all as spares. They took a very valuable speedo unit that he paid 1200 euros for and all sorts of NOS parts. They have cleared us out almost of all kinds of seals, lenses, badges, and anything else you could name so any help would be much appreciated. Julie & Barclay.

I really hope you get a result on this Barclay, because whoever is behind this is not part of the VW Scene in anyway whatever.

No place in the vw scene for this. Title: Re: Status VW broken into and lots stolen Post by: jamiep_jamiep on November 01, 2009, 22:01:01 pm So Sad....
Lets hope Karma is the real deal, there's been WAAAY too much of this..... Maybe a list of the NOS spares would be helpful - NOS early 50's parts would be pretty difficult to 'disappear' I would have thought.

Glenn, please contact Barclay @ VW status, I was merely letting everybody know so they could keep an eye out. I think this has been posted on every forum.
