Well they're never going to recover that, it's got an invisibility button if I remember correctly.

Maybe that's it, someone has just pressed the button and now they can't find the car. :-)

Has anyone looked in the Hogwarts Forest?

IIRC it started living there in The Chamber of Secrets.

What a news item. 300+ hits on Google
e.g.

or

A local police office says, "The thieves may not have known its connection with the films and just thought it was a classic car, or it may have been a Harry Potter freak."

That certainly would be a restoration project and then what?

It's a Ford Anglia 105E alright...:-)

I had one for about four years - main colour was dark blue with grey inserts.

One great thing about the Anglia was the rear windscreen's opposite rake meant it rarely got dirty.

Scientific experts were examining the car yesterday. A length of rope that was found attached to the back could yield vital DNA and help to solve the mystery.

ROFL
