A woman's £35,000 Land Rover was stolen from a car dealership while waiting for a routine MOT. Tracy Holmes, who bought her prized possession around four years ago, was "stunned and devastated" to find out the motor had been nicked.
Cleveland Police confirmed it received a call to reports a black Land Rover Discovery was stolen in the early hours of Tuesday morning and have launched a probe into the theft, reports TeesideLive. "I said I don't think it will be there now because the lady told me you would be moving it into a more secure compound out the back. I said: 'Why, what is the issue?' He said: 'Your car has been pinched.' I honestly thought I was getting a prank played on me. I really did."
She added: "I was stunned but I was devastated. You put your car into a garage to keep it legal on the road and then you get a call to say it's been pinched while it has been put into their hands."
