100th Post: Steal My Car Fail

January 16, 2010

15 years old and it only cost £30 to get it through it's MOT (the one on the left)

I wanted something good for my 100th post, and last night some loser provided me with the following story about my lovely car.

I arrived at my car this morning to find, firstly, the rear windscreen wiper was not in the normal position (i.e. as if the engine had been turned off mid-wipe) I didn’t remember having windscreen wipers on last night so thought that a bit odd, but assumed it was just me.

I then came to the driver’s door and found it unlocked. I’m sure I didn’t leave it like that.

Anyway, I got in, and found a load of cables hanging from underneath the steering wheel. Definitely didn’t leave it like that.

But my car doesn’t start easily in the cold and wet, and the wannabe thief obviously gave up (or maybe they took it for a drive and brought it back – that was nice of them), and didn’t even bother taking anything. The CD player’s not worth nicking, but then I didn’t think the car was worth stealing either, I guess I was wrong. Shame I can’t drive it for a while though.

So basically, thank God for my brilliantly rubbish awesome car.
