- The best thief you'll never see.
I had similar I have let say there were not many on the road, and of all things was in Cleartone Bolton and when I got back to the car there was a dint in the door, I was not pleased but kept my cool and was about to put the key in the lock and noticed the next car over was the same make and colour, when I looked it was mine and not the dented one. The odds were astronomical.I've done a similar car thing ...
Supermarket car park, walked back to my car and just shouted fudge at the scratched alloys on the driver side, then crouched down looking at and feeling them, utterly annoyed. Then still in a huff and swearing, went round the back to stick the shopping in the boot. You can guess the rest.
Obviously a great feeling in the end.
Have a black 18 reg Focus ... so many similar looking vehicles if you're not looking too closely.
There only 38 of my model now on the road in the UK.
Another time I should have lost my cool was coming out of Trafford Park and where I left the car was missing.
I thought I'll ask security if they have the thief on camera, and the security guy said don't worry we have this problem all the time. It turns out there 2 identical carpark's and of you exit though the wrong door in a store (quite near to each other as well) you end up on the wrong car park which is almost a mirror image of the other.
And yes it was on the other car park.
I can't be sure 100% but think even the isles were the same letter in both car parks.
