Driver has brand new Taxi stolen in Southill

A Limerick taxi driver is currently having a crappy Christmas after his brand new 06 taxi was stolen while he was on a call in Southill.

The Leader reports that the driver was in the South side estate on Saturday night delivering flowers to a house when a number of youths took his two week old car.

Co-workers of the driver, who incidentally is now in Spain trying to salvage the holidays, said the car is probably a total write-off,

“It was an appalling crime, especially at Christmas, and one you would not wish on your worst enemy. The car was his pride and joy and he is absolutely devastated”
