Notification of V16 Parts Theft from Goodwood

I received this from Doug Nye this morning

Sadly, at the Goodwood Revival Meeting a BRM V16 con-rod and piston assembly was stolen from the National Motor Museum V16 paddock display in support of their Restoration Appeal.

Action was taken immediately to alert eBay and other public sale avenues of the theft. No clue to the parts' whereabouts has yet emerged.

This is an appeal to the thief's better nature simply now - after a month of illicit possession - just to parcel the stolen con-rod and piston and mail them anonymously back to Doug Hill, The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, Hants, England SO42 7ZN.

Please appreciate that this con-rod and piston was not just an individual assembly, but one of a full set of 16 painstakingly matched engine components. The fact that it was taken during the final hour or so of what had been a wonderful weekend for the NMM's utterly dedicated, capable and ridiculously hard-working staff ruined the Revival Meeting for them. Should the thief now wish to correct the balance, perhaps he or she would enclose a contribution to the NMM's BRM V16 Restoration Appeal in the parcel? Such an apology would, at least, be respected... But all the team really want is to see the con-rod and piston safely returned...

I've put this in 4 separate forums but locked two of them leaving the two in Chassis Archive and Historic Racing Today open.

Obviously nicked so they or someone ( could have been stolen to order) can keep it at home and look at it in secret, I doubt if it will turn up on Ebay !

Robyn Slater should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Its basically worthless out of context. Can't see how the thieving scum could sell it at all.

Just like the FA cup that has been stolen twice, unfortunately the first time it was never recovered, but the replacement was found after it came too hot for someone !
