ALERT - 'STOLEN' KARMANN CABRIOLET!!!
We are broken-hearted to report that our 1978 Karmann Cabriolet Beetle LS 1303, LHD, black body and black hood. Registration no: TBY 740 W. Chassis no: 156 210 8765 was stolen from outside our house in Central London W1 on 13th September. Our grandparents bought him in Germany in 1981, and he has been part of our family ever since. We love him dearly and want him back. Please contact Westminster police on 020 7321 7648 quoting crime ref: 6310653/08 or Christophe on 020 7267 9422 or 07932 743 136 should you have any clue to his whereabouts. We would show gratitude!”
