TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp revealed on September 21, 2026, that her Land Rover Defender was stolen in London, weeks after she underwent surgery for a broken leg. Allsopp, known for the show "Location, Location, Location," described the theft as adding "insult to injury" following her recent accident.
The blue Land Rover Defender, with the registration number BK75 HXS, was taken while Allsopp was still recovering. She expressed on social media that the vehicle was "probably in a container en route to Timbuktu by now," but hoped for its recovery by sharing details of the theft.
Allsopp, 55, had previously shared that she was airlifted to a hospital after falling during a family holiday in Devon. The incident occurred on a "muddy patch on a steep path" at a beach in Welcombe Mouth. She underwent surgery for her broken leg and shared images from the hospital, including an X-ray, detailing how a significant effort was required to locate her for the air ambulance.
In response to followers inquiring about the car trackers, Allsopp mentioned that while her husband, Ben Anderson, had purchased some trackers the previous week, they had not yet been installed on the vehicle. She also indicated that the stolen Defender was the only vehicle she could comfortably travel in, as she was planning to visit a wheelchair shop that afternoon.
