Football fan returns to his car after a match to discover it has been completely stripped for parts by thieves

A football fan has been left in shock after he returned to his car after a match to discover it had been completely stripped for parts by thieves.

Chris Pugh, 54, had been cheering on Birmingham City as they beat Hull City 2-1 in the FA Cup on Tuesday night.

He had parked on Keeley Street, a residential road near St Andrew's stadium, 45 minutes before kick-off at 7.45pm, but after full-time he was shocked to find thieves had wrecked the front of his Vauxhall Astra.

Chris estimated his car had been left unattended for around three hours and in that time it had been stripped of its bonnet, with the headlights and number plate also being stolen.
