Stolen February 2005 from New Forest

This Horse Box was stolen in February 2005 from a location in the New Forest. The Crime Reference Number is DR/1962/05.

As can be seen the vehicle is "W" registered. The value is put at about £70,000 This vehicle could be anywhere. It may have been sold, placed in storage pending selling or even shipped abroad............
Whoever has stolen it has gone to a lot of trouble and will have to carry out a lot of work in order move it on......This may mean repainting, altering the interior, changing engine numbers, having new documents made. The person that can afford to buy this sort of vehicle is in the minority...........£70,000 to pay for a horse box is not for the feint hearted.
The purpose of this notification via Hampshire Horsewatch is to maximise the circulation of this theft. Can you help find it? Are you in the position to buy a vehicle like this? If you can, be serious and ask a lot of questions about its history. If you are going to buy a Mercedes Horse Box like this consider getting it thoroughly examined. You don't want to buy someone elses misery......and end up being miserable yourself.

Stolen Horse Lorry 27th September 2004

The gate was securely padlocked, the lorry locked, floodlit yard with cctv signs everywhere. They took the padlock with them.

The lorry stolen was very distinctive - soon to be re-sprayed I’m sureThis was Shamrocks demonstrator lorry at Hickstead, only a handful were made like this one exactly. They are very rare and I have never seen another Shamrock Elite anywhere.

Royal- Mid Blue with Gold Stripe and Gold 'Shamrock Elite' logos everywhere. Registration plate: J905 OWD. FORD CARGO 813. SHAMROCK ELITE - Built.

HORSE AREA: It is a 3 horse box, with a small rip in one of the partitions. Electric Ramp. White back closing doors prior to rubber ridged matting ramp going up. Rubber matting in horse area. Overhead rack, three windows.

LIVING AREA: At the moment it has navy blue velvet semi circle. There is a pine wooden table in the middle of the semi-circle of seats. One overcabin double bed and one to convert ie. sleeps 4. Pine wooden interior with grey carpet and cloth walls. Grey and Blue and Pine basically inside. The curtains are very new and have only been in box 3 months. They are navy and white check. A white oven and sink. A pine fridge, lots of cupboard space. A 'Roadstar' TV and DVD player in corner pine shelf. It also has next door a toilet/shower room in one with a small window. All white fittings and biege waterproof floor and walls.
The living area has two windows out looking on one side and one on the other. It also has a small window for the bed above the cabin. Again, all check curtains.

DRIVING AREA: The front seats in the driving cabin are also navy velvet. Working radio with speakers. Two and driver seat. No safety belts. Typical ford cargo interior driving area.

LOCKERS/EXTERIOR: The box also has two large tack lockers and several smaller lockers for other items such as water, gas, chairs tables. The door from living to outside has a 3step that you pull down. The door itself has a blind and a window on it.

The lorry worked on 7 different keys - for all the lockers, the doors, the ignition. We have all the original keys but buyers beware of keys missing etc.. doors not being able to unlock. Back ramp works electrically only and with a key.

Many Showing items were on board the lorry including: x5 Show Jackets - all sizes 34" Caldene and Mears, x1 38" Jacket. Black Beagler Hat, Black Showing Regent Boots size 5, and several other items irreplaceable like antique hunting crop and several smart show whips. All very personal and much needed for upcoming shows.

Stolen Pony Trap

Report received from a Horsewatch member that her pony trap has been stolen. Theft probably occurred yesterday during daylight hours.

Cr Ref is BL/011988/02

Description: The stolen vehicle is made by Bellcrown carriages, is green and has removeable shafts, backstep and wheels (solid, non-pneumatic) for ease of transportation. There is a handle at the back to adjust the balance on a winding axle mechanism.

The shafts are black metal with worn paintwork, and are not those originally supllied by Bellcrown. Its main identifying feature is a bar to enable the swingle tree to be set at varying heights, painted with red paint protector not topcoat - this was not as originally supplied by Bellcrown.

The wicker basket under the seat has worn catches, is held in place by bungee and contains the spanners to dismantle the vehicle. There is a removeable wedge seat fitted for the driver belted on top of the bench seat. There was an orange/red riding vest tied to the back with string, and it was under a worn green tarpaulin, which were taken when it was stolen.

It was dragged from in front of the lounge window, leaving track marks across the lawn to the road. I estimate it would take at least ten minutes to dismantle or two men to lift/drag it into a vehicle.

It had an estimated £900.00 approximate trade in value against a new vehicle fom Bellcrown in the spring of this year.
