What gets me is that these b@st@rds must be part of a landrover "scene" somewhere, either ringing the vehicle against a scrapper and selling it on or breaking it for the parts. I try to be careful to buy bits from "known" sources - but something off ebay from 200 miles away ? These people are, I think, worse than the neds who steal a vehicle to rag it about and crash it - they've actually thought about what they are planning to do.
Chin up Mel and I hope the Insurance cough enough to replace it with something good.
Edited to add... I've taken the liberty of posting the details, minus phone no, on a couple of other forums. The more people watching the better ?
