over a hundred trophys stolen from National Motorcycle Museum of England, near Coventry, Aug 28th 2014


The robbers left a trail of destruction and fled with a haul of invaluable trophies - some of immense historical value to the industry and motorsport.

James Hewing, museum director, said the value of the trophies could not be measured in cash terms because many were irreplaceable.

Most were silver and inscribed with details of the owner, so it is thought the thieves targeted the haul to melt down.

Nothing shows as a return on a Google search in the news about it, and they didn't even put it on their Facebook page. Weird

  1. That's a shame, especially if they melt them down.
