The influencer revealed to her 77,000 followers that her vehicle was stolen in Limerick on the Ennis Road side of the town.

She pleaded with her followers to report the stolen vehicle to Denis O’Connor in Mayorstone Garda Station if they see the car with the a matching registration plate: 181-L-4395.

Many followers took to the comments to express their sadness at the news and offered her some advice in the hopes of getting the car back.

“Check local supermarket car parks. When my dad’s BMW jeep was stolen a few years ago, turned out they left it overnight in a local car park to make sure there was no tracking before taking it away. Fingers crossed you find it,” one user wrote.

“That’s the second white Range Rover stolen in limerick in recent months. Awful,” another shared.

Interior designer, Adeline Molloy, wrote that she experienced the same thing herself: “Niamh this happened me few years ago with my white Evoque too. I had just done photoshoot & car was full & it’s devastating. Thinking of you I hope it’s found.”

Since the theft, Niamh says that people have reached out to offer car seats and buggies in place of the ones inside the car which was taken.

“A massive thank you to anybody who shared my post, who liked it, who circulated it in groups, and anybody who reached out offering car seats and buggies, I can’t get over the kindness of people. I was actually blown away by it,” she said on her Instagram story.

Tom Hartley, one of the world’s richest supercar dealers, recently spoke on the Rob Moore Progressive podcast and revealed that Range Rovers are the most stolen cars and that it’s near impossible to insure the vehicle in London for this reason.

“The easiest car in the world to nick, and in fact, you can’t get one insured in London now, a Range Rover. They won’t insure it.

“The policemen told me when they come out to my house, 120 cars a day – Mayfair, South Kensington, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, and Central – and 75% of them are Range Rovers,” Hartley explained.

If you see Niamh’s car parked or in passing with the registration 181-L-4395, please contact the Mayorstone Garda Station at 061456980.
