car burned out and taken away?
Our car was on a SORN and kept on private property. One Sunday afternoon one of the gangs of youths with nothing better to do broke into the garage it was kept in pushed it out of the garage and set fire to it. They then sat, watched and jeered at the firefighters as they put it out. The firefighters advised us to remove it a.s.a.p as it would only attract more trouble. Th following day a friendly scrap man said he would take it to the local scrapyard for us and give us half of what he was paid for it. Of course we never expected to see him agian but were glad to get the car removed without any cost to us. How do we tell the DVLA (any forms etc) what has happend as we had no paperwork off the scrapyard and dont even know which one it was taken to. We have just renewed the SORn but want to get aorted out once and for all.
Should have been sorted out with the scrap man who took it away and all the necessary details are on the vehicles log book (V5C).
If you are unable to do this now then all you can do is get in touch with the DVLA and ask them what they need from you.
