don't be alarmed ...

ramtopsour neighbours went off across the Pond for the festive season - California, Colorado, Tennessee, and god knows where else. They left us a set of keys to the house, so we could pick up the post and so forth, and a key to Andrea's Mini - because the builders who did their recent utility room conversion had failed to organise the removal of the skip from their driveway, and they thought we could move it in there when it went.
on the Friday lunchtime before Xmas, we realised that the skip guys were unlikely to turn up, so we popped the car into the end of our driveway at the back. And left it there until yesterday morning, when we returned it to where it had been on the road.
imagine my horror when it was gone this morning - could they be back without telling us? Or had some bastard nicked the bloody thing? Thankfully while we were making lunch today, Matt turned up in his car, and said that yes, they'd got back yesterday afternoon, but were too knackered to speak to anyone.
thank $deity - trying to explain to Inspector Knacker that the car had been stolen while we had a key was making me just a tad nervous.
