Hopefully the scum bags who have taken this scooter end-up regretting they were born :evil: GUTTED for Chuck ................... Copied from the LCGB site.

Please pass on and help re-unite Chuck with his TV

Last nigt it was stolen from outside his house in the Surrey area. The details are below. If you can help please contact Chuck, me or the Police. Chuck's whole life has been about scootering, he will be devastated, please let's try and get this one back

URGENT APPEAL ON BEHALF OF CHUCK SWONNELL!!!

Some low life scum has stolen Chuck's famous Series 2 TV175 off his driveway between 6pm last night and 1pm today!
I cannot tell you how devastated Chuck is as we all are. He has had this scooter from new and we all know it very well. The scooter was chained up and under cover.

This may not be a coincidence but according to Chuck, a bloke knocked on his door yesterday afternoon at 5pm enquiring if Chuck wanted to sell his scooter. Chuck told him it was not for sale and they chatted for 5-10 mins. He said he came from the Peterborough area but we cannot tell if this is true or not. I am not saying that this guy stole it but it would be good to find him so he can be eliminated from the police enquiry.

It has been reported to the police as stolen and they are coming round to see Chuck at 7pm tonight to interview and take a statement.

IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO DOES NOT DESERVE THIS, CHUCK IS THAT MAN.
THIS SCOOTER MUST BE FOUND AND I AM APPEALING TO THE WHOLE SCOOTERING COMMUNITY TO FIND THIS SCOOTER AND RETURN IT TO ITS MOST DESERVING OWNER.

Please share this message to all so we can make the scooter too hot to handle and find the low life scum. If you have any information leading to the culprit or its location, please let me or Chuck know directly so we can pass the details onto the Police.

Utter b@5t@rds! I've shared a post of this on my Facebook and Twitter accounts, always had a lot of time for Mr Swonell, I remember my first LPS rally at Mike Karslake's museum in 1991, I was a spotty 17 year turning up on a ratty old PX and while some ignored me for turning up on a coop- Chuck was really friendly, charming and told me the story about his regional Lambretta club and local Vespa club literally burying a hatchet to end the rivalry between the two marquees, lovely bloke indeed, let see if we can't retrieve his pride and joy for him.

So glad to hear that it's been recovered unlike the one I had nicked back in the late 80's

He's got it back but it's been totally dismantled and partially sand blasted. That wasn't done in someone's shed. Who gets scooter body parts blasted while they wait? Makes you wonder who did the work and how much they knew.

If it was 'scooterists' that nicked it. They should hang their heads in shame.
