Re: Then the car was stolen, the next day I got two wing mirrors.
Spares. And a lot of running cars are also stolen for parts.
Some people may remember the Morris Marina. A solicitor I wot of bought one for an articled clerk to get around in. It was so awful he left it in a side street in central London with the key in the ignition. It was stolen.
Before they were even able to claim on the insurance, it was back in the same place with the key still in the ignition.
