It's very *slightly* annoying cos we've got nowhere to put the courtesy car, and Rachel's music book was in the back with 5 years of annotations.

Bet she's pissed about the missing book. That was prolly worth more than the car, at least in a personal sense.

It was a Metro - the water in the radiator was worth more than the car. Fun little buggies though. -- FZS600 - silver/black GS125 - black/rust '81 Bobtail - vaguely green (FOR SALE £800) CAAD7 - black LTS2 - blue, not black OE6 + Quotefix

In Bad show. Heh, only car I ever had nicked off me was a H reg Rover Metro. It'd been sitting in the driveway for about 2 years, untouched and unloved, one of those bits of driveway furniture that you can't actually see after a while, had its own personal SEP field and everything. Was only when I parked another car where the Metro was meant to be I noticed the fsking thing had been nicked. Good fun in the plod shop though.. Me - "I'd like to report my car stolen" PC - "ok, when was it stolen?" Me - "er, in the last few weeks??" PC - "riiiight, and what's the registration number?" Me - "Oh, that's a good one, er, it's a H reg blue Rover Metro" PC - "we need a little bit more than that, Sir" Me - "Er.. <rings mate who remembers such things> H??? ???" PC - "Ah, right, ok, so where was it stolen from" Me - "My path" PC - "when exactly?" Me - "not got a clue really, only noticed it was gone when I managed to park a car where it should be" PC - "er, take a seat, Sir, I'll just do a search for you" <looks at me like I'm deranged> PC - "ah, good news, Sir, we've found your car, and it seems ok" Me - "Excellent, and unusually quick too, I'm impressed" PC - "Well, we've been chasing it on a nightly basis round Cantril Farm [1] for the last fortnight" Me - "ah, well, you could have rung and said something?" PC - "er.... anyway, the car is <insert address> and I believe it only needs a couple of tyres, you're free to go and pick it up" went to the address given to me, to see a recovery truck removing a burnt out Metro shell from the scorched tarmac by attaching a BIG chain to it and dragging it until it moved, rolling it onto its roof, then hoisting it onto the back. They're still trying to get £150 out of me for "removing burnt out motor vehicle from public highway".. [1] Cantril Farm - mega shithole area of Liverpool, and I mean it's a proper fuckin dump.

Maybe these people know something we don't?
