Help help...
Stolen this morning / last night from Bath, UK
SJ410QB. Reg; F498JMX. Bright Red, white top and wheels. Very trim, no off roading kit except for AT tyres and Vitara roll bar. Key wasn't with it so they'll have had to break it. Also brake lights not working...
Any help greatly appreciated. This is a rare example of an almost stock SJ which I'd been restoring for a while. I guess someone's had it to chop.

Found later this morning. Burnt out near Midsomer Norton. They'd taken it from my driveway around 2:30am. Used something to force the bonnet and started it from there. When they burnt it they also took someones garden fence with it. Cost me £200 for the recovery.
Chaps. I'm not sure if I'll get anothe SJ. Road legal cars are becoming harder to find and I like 'em as stock as I can get. I'm not an off roader to be honest. I'll bloody miss this one. Maybe I'll get another one day.
Thanks to all.

I was set for camping this week. A boot box with two full butane canisters and a full 5 litre jerry can added fuel to those flames.... We didn't claim. I have 15 yrs NCB (unprotected). No point for the couple of quid I'd get back.
RIP....

Thats hard luck! I would be tempted to ask for the body and chassis back.
The hardest thing to find for the sjs is the body. Everything else can be found with ease!
Shame tho, would break me to see mine go up in smoke

sorry for your loss mate, when thieving scum tried to take my sj it felt like a personal attack, and it put me off wanting to work on my sj for a good few months, I can only imagine its a thousand times worse for you,
I think SJ`s are regularly targeted, next time I`d want a hard top to at least try and deter them
