ID this car please!

I think it's Y, personally, and probably red. White was a no-cost option, possibly red was too.

Also it's on these shitty basic model steel wheels, and is missing the offside front trim:

Anyway, pass it all to the police and mither them to act on it, along with following my advice about looking for your stuff.

You can also ask the DVLA for the registered keeper's details if you provide a good reason for it, but as before, it's more likely someone who's had their car nicked, so would be of very little use unless your crim is very stupid and uses their own car. Better pursued with the police first.

Good luck with it all, and commiserations/sympathies on being burgled. I got comprehensively done in March. I was very angry for a very long time, and it cost us a lot of money, but it does get better, believe me.

Night! :thumbs:

ah man sorry to hear you got done over so badly...sounds on a scale much worse than me. Mine was a couple of pillowcases full...but I am worried they'll come back as there music equipment here which they definitely saw....

massive thanks
 
Colours go wierd under lights - I can't recall the specifics, but I remember reading that during the Yorkshire Ripper enquiry, Peter Sutcliffe was questioned about an attack but because his car didn't match the reported colour of a car that had been seen near the location of the attack, the line of inquiry hit the sand.

I think that his car was red, but under sodium lights it looked green, which the witness reported it as - and so he got away with it...

Police dismiss colour identification under artificial light cos they know it won't stand up in court. But having reduced it to 5 PNCs to cross reference who knows they might pull their finger out
It can't be a lighter shade of black than the other cars in the vt

When they put the new streetlights in around my old house in Leeds one of the selling points used by the council was that it would help the police as people could see colours better under the new white LED lights than under the old yellow sodium lights. Not that the police would give two fucks about the area anyway.
 
after initial enthusiasm police have gone quiet now, at the point real work begins. I've been sent a survey about my experience, just at the point they need to do some work. I feel like I've been patted repeatedly on the head so far.

next step for me is going to be looking at street CCTV and making my own request for footage... Though the more times that passes the more pointless it feels. I want my stuff back and don't really give a shit about a conviction. If they acted now there's a chance they could have caught this guy in possession.

Low pressure sodium lighting has very distinct spectral lines - hence the orange/yellow. Because the spectrum is so narrow, you will see white or orange/yellow surfaces as some shade of orange/yellow and every other colour surface will appear dark.

Of course other street lighting (high pressure sodium, metal halide and increasingly, even better, LED) has a broader spectrum and much better colour rendition.
 
BUMP

Burgled again...shed raided, bike and a couple of tools nicked :mad:
Neighbour has got good CCTV of their faces, and even though it wont be investigated, can anyone ID the van model?
Thanks
