Slightly off topic but I have just had this email sent to me as have some people I know who have confirmed it is genuine.
At some point between lunchtime on Thursday 15th March 2012 and lunchtime on Saturday 17th March 2012, preserved Optare Delta G254JYG was stolen from the farm building it was stored in (in the York area). This vehicle is owned by Transport Yorkshire Preservation Group Ltd, and was formerly FirstGroup 60018 and is the only surviving Optare Delta that was delivered to Yorkshire Rider.
If anyone has seen this vehicle since Thursday, please could they share this information with us. If desired, anonymous reports can be made at http://www.typg.org.uk clicking 'contact us'. We have reason to believe it now may be elsewhere in the country (potentially at a scrapyard, either licenced or unlicenced). Alternatively, please dial 101 (15p flat rate to call from any phone including mobiles), ask for North Yorkshire Police, quote 'inc number 121200 44085' and give whatever information you can.
A photo of the bus taken on Thursday is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/22064102@N07/6994030395/in/photostream - this is the last time we saw her.
Any information even if vague would be appreciated. Thank you in anticipation

So anyone out and about please keep an eye out for this particular bus although why someone would want to steal it I have no idea.
