A couple have been given back their VW Golf car - 14 years after it was stolen.Milos and Spomenka Jokic, from Setic in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, had their Mark II Golf stolen after they parked it on a street in Belgrade during a holiday in 1994.
They returned a few hours later to find it gone, but were more surprised when a policeman knocked on their door this week and told them they had found the car.
Spomenka Jokic, 51, said: "Me and my husband thought it was a joke at first but the police told us they had stopped a driver during a routine roadside check and realised it was stolen and then traced it back through old records to us.
"It seems it had actually been stolen a few times since we had it taken from us and they can't say if the mileage on the clock is accurate as it had probably been turned back a few times but it's definitely our car.
"It still drives well and in fact my husband says it feels as good as it did 14 years ago. The insurance company that had already paid out compensation say they don't want the car as it's not worth anything now."
