      Not saying it isn’t a set up but they weren’t given permission to take the car out or given trade plates. They unplugged the battery charger and off they went. What makes me think it was a set up is that they were left unattended with the keys to an expensive car and the rather relaxed approach to it all, I don’t care who you are you’d be a lot more aggravated about the situation than he was.

He was one of my best friends when I was a kid, he might’ve made some bad decisions as he got older but his core was good. These lads could be good lads just making stupid decisions. When my car got stolen I thought about my friend. I’m glad the boys didn’t hurt themselves.

    How do you give a total stranger keys to a car without any of your staff going out with them on the drive. That’s crazy & why would the insurance pay out when a member of staff handed over the key? .

      Exactly. Any test drive I’ve ever been on, they want you to leave your license or take a copy of it. They want you to sign an insurance document.
      They usually wait round with the keys or unlock it and leave you to look around.

All 10,000 of those people appreciate how trustworthy we are. It definitely goes a long way. I’ve considered change but I’ve not concluded much yet.
