Good to meet all of you at Biddenden Tractor Fest today and apologies to anyone I missed. Too much time spent talking and I didn't leave until 7:30pm with a sore throat!
I didn't realise how many other people had also found themselves suffering at the hands of thieves. It seems that nothing is sacred these days!
Doesn't matter what it is some bugger will take it away from you if they get the chance.
Anyway I met some very interesting people and handed out fifty of my leaflets so let's hope that my tractor will turn up sometime.
Regards to all, TCS.

Hi Nigel, Good to hear from you. It was you who put me onto this forum last year but I only just got round to doing anything about it. I've looked in a couple of times but all closed up.
All the Best to you and wife. Tim.

HeadExam, That is what the Police said too. It will be stashed away until the criminals think it's been forgotten about and then sold a few years down the line. The internet is thankfully international so people overseas are reading these forums. PS: Here in good old England we are still on miles, The continental so & so's have nicked our yards, feet and inches but us old buggers still deal in those!
Chris. That is what we thought when someone said it might have been nicked to order. Good spotting on your part though. I regularly run a search for 'Trojan' though Google to see what turns up. Ours comes up in most of the pages with pics on. Have a look if you like, it's the one with the old bloke driving it and it's on the StolenModels.org page with me on it. Regards to all.

Thanks Stormin, That's very kind of you. I haven't done Biddenden since they used to have the 'Biddenden Spectacular' there, but we went past last year and it looked as if it was going well!
You see you get to an age when all the walking round these shows in the heat just gets too much. My wife has already had two new knees! Strange that there's two of you from Cumbria who've responded. I appreciate what you are saying about the time factor but I've had more responses about it in the last couple of years than I had when it first went missing. The 'phone will ring one day and it will be the right one wherever it is. Just got to keep on looking. Someone suggested it might have been stolen to order and gone to Holland but that was only a suggestion as it was well hidden in a garage that is seldom opened so no-one could have known where it was. I think they just stumbled across it while looking for mowers to nick as they didn't steal brand new boxes of CCTV stuff which was stored in there. Thanks for your response though. How would I recognise you then if I do go to Biddenden or Sedlescombe as they're both quite close. I try to give it a bit more publicity at the start of the Show season every year but I can't get to them all.  I would like to get it back as we now have grandchildren. Regards to you. TCS.

What you have said is very relevant; When some of these blokes were nicked it was because they sold a Honda mower to someone who went and ordered some parts for it Hondas had it recorded as stolen against the chassis / engine number. When the police raided their sales place here in Kent they found machinery stolen from as far afield as Cornwall and Leicestershire.
The caravan they were using as an office had been nicked from a site in Cornwall! They were also selling stolen stuff at the big agricultural sales at Wincanton where they were exchanging machines stolen in Kent with similar stolen in the West Country. Most of our stuff is now postcoded but it's too late for the tractor!  Often in your area Wristpin, New Romney and Greatstone, RH&DR etc and will be going up the lighthouse there tomorrow with grandchild . TCS.

Many Thanks for that HeadExam.
I really don't understand the finesse of these things!
I'd be very surprised if it should turn up your side of the pond though.
I put this on hoping it will catch the eye of the many UK readers.
Best Regards though, TCS.
