    If so, then you are that car park's answer to Anders Breivik. :)
    Sorry I don't quite understand, but am sure what you are saying is highly amusing to those who do. :p

    There was a large amount of irony in this comment. I was attempting, and clearly failing miserably, to counterpoint your "non-crime" with his truly heinous one. He's the man who killed 77 people in Norway. I shall not use that comment again. It is possible that too much red wine has been consumed. I offer my full and unreserved apology.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    I know who he is just wasn't quite grasping the comparison at this late hour! And for the record my only non crime thus far appears to be that I am the RK of the vehicle in question.

    It's your own fault. You should have known better than to buy a car that was hooligan enough to outstay its welcome in a car park. I'm with the PPC on this one. These rogue cars must be put in their place.

    Completely off topic - well, maybe - but what about the computer driven cars, that have just been licenced for use on the road in Nevada? It's like in the film "The Sixth Sense" (and "Demolition Man"?) and the Zurich Insurance advert. Now, how would a PPC cope with these?

    Of course, I hope that PPCs aren't around long before they are.

    On the other hand, I also have this mental image of MP or SR-S being eaten by Stephen King's "Christine". :)

    And don't forget to write "cheque enclosed" on the envelope.

    Or write in the letter, "I was going to enclose a cheque, but I've already sealed the envelope". :)

    Imagine if a driver-less car overstays it's welcome in a PPC controlled car-park.

    Registered Keeper says "yes, the driver was the car itself, have fun suing it"
