    Whilst I was working for a holiday camp in Dawlish Warren, Devon. I was curious that someone had parked a classic Maserati with a foot of its bonnet in the hedge that surrounds the car park and it stayed there not moving for three days.
    I decided to call the police as I expected it had been stolen and was parked there just in case it had a tracker on it. The police were happy to here the news and popped straight down to see it.
    The story goes that the owner had had it shipped down to a dealers in Exeter to be serviced and the driver had just left the keys on the reception desk. A dodgey person took the keys and drove off in the car and obviously decided to hide it in the out of the way car park.
    If they had not parked it so badly I would not have thought much about it and would not have phoned the police ha ha ha.

      @@stuartd9741 The driver was the lorry driver who was hired to take the car on a flat bed to the dealers for service NOT the owner, but yes I agree the dozy truck driver was to blame. The kicker was that the owner spoke with his insurance company who said that the car's age would mean who would not get much back for it. When this car was immaculate almost as new with very few miles on the clock. I expect the owner will drive it to the dealers themselves next time ha ha.
