A BRIDGWATER Mini enthusiast was celebrating in 2008 after playing detective and securing the return of his stolen vehicle.
Robin Heggatt and his family produced and distributed more than 1,000 flyers across Somerset, spread the message on Mini enthusiast web forums to track down the car, named Baby, after it was stolen.
And they eventually received information it had been left abandoned in a Bedminster car park.
Robin, pictured with Baby, said: “We believe we were so hot on the trail of the thieves that they abandoned it."
