My neighbour moved abroad in Agust last year and put there house up for sale.

It hasn't sold so is empty.

They had one of their cars in the drive since they left but yesterday someone took it away.

I don't know if it has been nicked, taken because of sorn or they came and got it.

I have contacted the estate agent but they don't deal with the property anymore but they said they will ring them to find out. I asked them to let me know if it was lagitimate so that I didn't worry.

Now after all that my question is If I don't hear from the EA or they say they still don't know do you think I should call the police?

well, i dont think it will hurt if you do.
A bit of a puzzle, this one. The neighbour presumably left no way of contacting them because of you having had to contact the estate agent, but do you know whether or not they had any other family in your area?
A long shot, but do you happen to know the registration number of the car taken from your neighbour's, you could pass it on to the Police but they probably wouldn't want to know unless it had already been reported as stolen?
Get back to the estate agent and see what, if anything, they've found out. Technically you may have no official right to know but, as a concerned neighbour they should treat your enquiry sympathetically.
Good luck.
Well it certainly won't have been "taken because of SORN" if it was on a private drive so you can rule that one out. The whole point of sorn is to have the car off public roads and kept on private property. A driveway would be fine for that.
