Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto
One of my friends sublets a house on his property. Police were there with a couple of cars on Saturday. Pretty sure my friend's "houseguest" will be goon soon. Sad story really. I don't have all the facts but it looks like "his" Audi belonged to someone else. When we arrived the police had stopped another man who was driving away with the Audi hidden on a trailer, no idea how the police managed to be there just when that happened, so we speculated about that for a while as we were preparing the BBQ. My buddy had a long chat with the female officer before they searched the property. Twenty minutes after the police had left, the houseguest arrived home looking very worried and my buddy had a longish chat with him.

Do the crime, you'll do the time.

And that's a Mercedes in the background. Prosperous neighborhood, perhaps partly at someone else's expense.

Crime is really everywhere. Sunday night garden furniture was stolen in our area from a lot of front gardens. We were lucky but our neighbors weren't.

I read an update from the local police. They claim that it was an insurance fraud. The car had been reported stolen a long time ago, and was therefore owned by the insurance company. But in reality the car theft auto never actually happened.
