Your car's been broken into. Who's to blame?
Craig Thomas 22 November 2007, 2:01 PM

Your life just got better, although you may not know it yet. Why? Because the loos at Toddington services have been fitted with Dyson Airblade hand driers. Everyone dries their hands, and everyone goes to Toddington services sooner or later.

Eek. You don't see THAT much these days. A bloke got out of his last-generation 3-Series coupe outside a newsagent's as I was walking past. He left the engine running and the car unlocked.

Farah AlKhalisi 8 June 2007, 11:56 AM
