TerryMcCann Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That brings back memories of seeing a police car parked outside Ramsey police staion with the engine running and nobody inside it for at least 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith brief Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think it should be encouraged. It'll mean a huge long-term saving on prison costs in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hahahahah back in 1980something my granddad left the keys in his car while he went to Cowins newsagents on the terrace. Someone stole it....they wrote off 2 police cars chasing it and and and it was a mini. Fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbms Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 If they could guarantee the scroats would die in a crash I would go and buy and old banger and leave the keys in it just to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So. You'd *actually* wish death upon someone for nicking a car ? Heaven help anyone who really crossed you. How's the glasshouse, by the way ?... ...GOMH*...

jim Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 you nick my car and die as a result.....? good, you wont do it again. I should be able to leave my keys in my car without stressing that someone will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Leaving the key in your car is not brainy. However I don't see this argument as a deterrent. "Someone might nick it" should be enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxon Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I should be able to leave my keys in my car without stressing that someone will take it. It's not really a case of "should be able to" though is it? That's, unfortunately, not how life works. I should have been able to leave my car unlocked overnight in Scarlet Road, Castletown without some tosser stealing the cd player front, my cd wallet and my glasses. (perscription ones, not sunglasses!) Rest assured, I've made sure my car's been locked ever since. I agree with Sarah though, the best motivation should be " so it won't get nicked"!

Last Ten Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 If they could guarantee the scroats would die in a crash I would go and buy and old banger and leave the keys in it just to help out. The only trouble with your view is that the "scroats" may kill an innocent person/s whilst out in your banger (however I am sure you were only messing)!! I really love this Inspector who makes these random type of statements, it's like saying if you leave your front door open someone will go in and steal your possesions or if you leave your wallet on a counter and walk away, your wallet will be nicked!!!!!!!!!

Saltire Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Leaving your keys in the car could lead to your insurance company not paying out if it gets nicked, because you haven't taken reasonable care make it secure. I don't understand why these days anyone would choose to leave their car unlocked, or the key in it. How long does it take to lock a door, couple of seconds at most?
