Cloned Car, Hardly Ever Worn In, Bungalows

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We've talked about identity theft on You and Yours before but this week we're talking vehicle identity theft. Criminals are cloning cars in such detail that its possible to fool even seasoned car buyers. We hear from one man who experienced it and what you can do to ensure it doesn't happen to you. A few weeks ago we reported on a company called Hardly Ever Worn It. Since then we've discovered that the company owes its customers at least half a million pounds. We update you on the latest with that story. Plus demand for bungalows is up - but the building the bungalows is down. And that's a problem for our aging population and the last-time buyers looking for suitable retirement homes. We hear from someone who's been searching for one for five years. PRODUCER - CATHERINE EARLAM PRESENTER - WINIFRED ROBINSON
