Dude! 22nd August 2006
Thames Water stole my car. Now I'm not the sort of prissy madam who would usally whine on my blog when a utility company cuts off the water for entire days without notice (they do, frequently) or causes angry traffic chaos by digging-up the roads around my house constantly, but this really took the piss.I checked with a local giffer. The 'no parking' signs weren't up when I left it after Sunday's show. When I went looking for the beast today it was gone.
1. I called Thames Water- they said "call the council"
2. I called the council - "we're shut"
3. I called the pound - "no car here"
4. I called Trace - "no record of your car, call the police"
Which is precisely what I was planning to do tomorrow, but decided to take a walk for one last look around the neighbourhood and to calm down a bit. It finally showed-up at the bottom of Leinster Rd, having been parked down St. James's Lane.

I'd still call the police and have them investigate it. If it's Thames Water then I'm pretty sure it's still illegal to steal your car. Just because you found it again doesn't mean anything.
