Yesterday, Cockers parked the car in a supermarket car park for the day whilst he went to work. The car was locked.

When he finished work, he went to the car, it was still locked, but on the back seat was a baby's car seat, and old grubby one, dumped on the back seat. No note, no explanation, no nuffing.

We have no idea whose it is or what it's doing there. He reported it to customer services but no-one had lost one.

It's most odd and I'm a little bit freaked.

Explanations please.

Wrong car?

It's definitely our car.

The car must not have been locked to start with

The child seat was already there from another occassion you just failed to see it driving to work !

It's not our car seat, never seen it before. Plus it's only a little car and you'd notice a hulking great car seat stuffed on the back seat.

Go upstairs immediately and check children's identities!:wacko:

.


most peculiar though.......

Do any of your friends or family have a spare key...and an evil sense of humour?

Freaky!

Perhaps the key for someone elses car fits your car

If its an ancient vauxhaull viva you could open the doors with a lolipop stick . I used to have a ford and that could open a variety of cars but not start them.

easy enough to open cars illegally, but not to lock them again afterwards.

I'm stumped.

Does Cockers have any theories?

1. Children are still mine, definitely, they're far too grubby to be anyone elses.

2. Re friends and family - aha! we may be onto something. The car came to us via Cocker's nephew - we swapped our car for theirs, but they gave us both their keys at the time. Suppose it could have been them, but it's a bit odd, why not just ring and ask if we wanted a car seat?

3. I thought it might be someone with the same model car, opened ours by mistake then, dunno, forgot about the car seat or something.

4. Cockers may have been lying about the car being locked cos I';d have shouted at him for leaving the car open otherwise. He does fib now and then.

5. He hasn't got any theories at all other than being sure it wasn't his fault and refuting all my allegartions of stupidity on his part. :pimp:


I suspect the nephew then. Should I retaliate and creep round to their house in the dead of night and leave an inflatable whale in their back garden or something?

Personally i would go for a horses head on the couch.

Mama Coastie once owned a maroon H reg Ford Fiesta without central locking or anything. In a daze one morning she wandered outside to head off to work and unlocked the car. There was an audible clunk of central locking being released...she suddenly became aware she was about to climb into the neighbours M-reg maroon Ford Escort (at least I think it was M...it was a fair bit newer than hers anyway) - she locked it again...using her key and left a note to the owner on his windscren informing him of what had occured!

This maybe what has happened to you...same make of car, similar car whatever but someone elses key has worked...:sad: :shocking:

floppy floopy...strange goings on indeed. Maybe we need our 'expert's' input...is she still in Ireland??:laugh:



(I love you forever and to the moon and back!!:bye: :laugh: :wub: )

I. Think. Not. :sly:

Why the heck do you think I'm having a posting frenzy while I still can?

Either

a - the car seat was there all along, or

b - the supermarket is using spooky psychological warfare to freak out the commuters that abuse the free parking there, or

c - Cockney drove the wrong car home, or

d - your "car" is actually a portal to another dimension

HTH

YOU. GO. GIRL!!

I'm liking 'd' a lot, in fact I'm going to go sit in the car seat a little bit later, so if I don't come back.....

I bet it's 'b' though, I blummin bet it is. :evilmad:

You have all the luck, I leave my car unlocked all the time and no one has ever even taken anything (despite my impressive collection of chocolate wrappers and crumbs) let alone left anything :(

Ah , you need to reverse that psychology Samm. No-one would break intoa car that was unlocked cos there's obviously nothing in it worth nicking. :smartie:

Crikey you're right Floops, off I go to lock it up. I may even put some "alarm" stickers on it to see if it works :D

White out the windows and put a sign on the back saying "not tools kept in this car overnight"

Oooh that's clever - is that you Cockney, can't be Floops :D

He's feeding me my lines from the sofa :kid:

I left all but the drivers door unlocked for two nights after the car had gone in for an MOT and I hadn't thought to check if the mechanics had unlocked all the doors...no-one nicked anything...I wonder if the fact it's a yellow Skoda with a tape player that caused the theifs to wander by...

Mama Coastie left her drivers door unlocked one night and had a load of CD's and her CD player remote nicked (the player front was locked away in her house)...she has a blue Skoda...her old H-reg Ford Fiesta was broken into aswell one night...wierd since she lives in one of the more respectable parts of town...and I live oposite the riff raff! :unsure:

Floopy - it's bad enough that you and Cockers can afford twelve month benders - but there is absolutely no excuse for forgetting where you left the little one.
I thought Damien was such a lovely name too.:devil:

Eh what? 12 month benders? Must have been good cos i can't remember a thing about it :mellow:
