Dumbasses. If it smells like veg oil, looks like veg oil, has the viscosity of veg oil, has a lable saying veg oil....then its probably veg oil. They did highlight I hadnt broken any laws mind...so
Lesson 1 in dealing with suspicious liquids - don't f*cking sniff or inhale the damn stuff.
Lesson 2 in dealing with suspicious liquids - don't believe the label.
Also they were never going to find it looked/smelled/tasted/behaved like veg oil till they had broken the window
So how do they tell what is a naughty liquid and what is a good liquid??
Considering that a 1 litre bottle of a certain liquid could flatten 1/4 square mile.
So should we not leave ANY liquids in sight now if we park in london.
Boot and one rear door wasnt even locked......major fail on my part there....C/L gone dicky and not fixed it!
And why the sodding drivers window...not the rear quarter window or rear passenger?? If they honestly thought it was a bomb, they would have blown it to bits under a controlled explosion. So it clearly wasnt that serious...common sense would have gone a LONG way!!!!
Including them finding a loyalty card, and trying to contact me via that (which was my home number!!!??? - because I would park in London and still be at home in the Cotswolds - which they knew is where it was registered to), rather than maybe ringing my mobile which was on about 100 business cards in the doorcards/center console/glovebox with my name on!? Or ring insurance database, find insurer, get number, ring me.
I'm not delcaring all innocence...but an ounce of common sense would have saved SO much trouble.
I did apologise and still feel bad for wasting police time, it does annoy me that I did that.
aaaaanyway...back on topic.
Get in your car. Leave your phone alone and put ya seatbelt on. You're driving a killing machine.....would you walk around holding a gun up pointing in random places through a town with the safety off and texting at the same time??
Wishes for more power...
