Galnet news is far too inconsistent, to be taken seriously (as actual events) happening within this 'make believe' Galaxy called Elite Dangerous.....so I ignore it completely.
Is the news just 'filler', meaningless drivel, with nothing to do with the game or is it for 'real' & there's actually a mini-quest in there somewhere, to find that ship?
Would you risk spending hours in trying to find this 'stolen' ship, when in 'reality' it may not even be there to find?
No, I'll take it as 'filler', until Galnet news items become more imformative & seem more realistic to the game......I'll pass on it!!!
