Just had 2 policemen here to take our fingerprints. That’s not happened to me before.

My car was nicked off the drive years ago. The police spotted the car, abandoned, and drove it home for me. They took my fingerprints to eliminate them from the other prints they'd found in the car.
The officer looked carefully at my prints and said that he'd seen clearer prints from plasterers - and what did I do for a living to make mine so indistinct!!
Don't think he believed that I was a Civil Servant.

When our car was taken from the drive we didn't even get a visit
just a crime number.

No one would want mine it's 17 + years old, but it's very precious to me, I want a replacement but I don't like the modern cars so I'll keep it going as long as I can.

Mine was an old Metro. I didn't even know it was missing until the police woke us up about 6am, and asked if I was the owner of a red Metro. Just behind was the empty spot where my car had been parked and, across the road, was my car!
At the time you could get a sticker for your car window that said "If this car is being driven between the hours of 1am and 6am it has been stolen and the police can stop the car" or something like that. Apparently, the police spotted the car being driven erratically (unlike my driving
) and pulled it over. The lad driving it, ran away, having hotwired the car, and the police were able to drive it back to me. I'd be happy to display one of those stickers now - they were a great idea.

They didn’t have to do much. The cheeky buggers that nicked it brought it back and parked it in the same place.

Many years ago, a team of us went to Harlech, North Wales for a few days, working nearby. We hired a car as none of us had a car big enough for 4 and a load of paperwork and hired it in the name of the Team leader, our boss. He drove up and parked in the Castle carpark where he could see the car from his bedroom window. After a meal and a few drinks, Trevor, one of the team, asked the Boss for the car keys as he'd left something in the car. He collected it and gave the keys back to the Boss.
Following morning, Boss man comes down to breakfast in a panic "the car's been pinched". We thought he'd forgotten where he'd parked it, or even what sort of car it was, so we all went out into the carpark and walked up and down the rows, looking. Gradually, cars were being driven away and there were very few cars left. Finally, the Boss spotted his car, parked in an out of the way corner. He was so relieved but we kept asking him how could he forget where he'd parked it.
This went on for hours until he twigged that Trevor had moved it the night before.
Poor man, you had to feel sorry for him, he was so gullible!
The next morning, he believed it had snowed in the night because he couldn't see out of his bedroom window. Norty Trevor, who had the room next door, had squirted shaving foam over the window!!
