C'mon, admit it, she'd just forgotten where she had parked it  Glad it has been found. What's the story? |

Ha ha! Basically my car was broken into (not the Mini), and a few bits were stolen. Among them was a spare key for the Mini which I had left in the glovebox and forgotten about like a total tool!
The Mini was then simply driven away.
When I reported it to the Police, they did an ANPR search on the council traffic cams (FYI 1 in roughly 20 traffic cameras log number plates!) and they narrowed it down to an area of about a 3 mile square radius which it had been seen going into but not coming out of of.
Anyway I decided to go and have a snoop round and out of pure chance I managed to locate it within about 10 minutes of looking! I was really lucky because if I started at the opposite end of the estate I would have literally been there for hours searching every street!

ryan - I did the right thing and called the police who seized it and did a print swab etc, I guess I may be charged for this but we are just happy we got the car back! jaykay - Thats exactly the plan! Any idea how much I should be paying?

As above, I know there's the obvious legal aspect. But let's face it you would get better justice if they got a good kicking than what the police would give out. I'm in the process of finishing my mini off and know that when I get it on the road I'll be paranoid about parking it anywhere.

always up for giving the scum a good thrashing but knowing this messed up country you'd probably end up getting a stretch for g.b.h
