This evening I took my wife for her 2nd vaccination, I parked up and waited for her outside with my engine running, handbrake on.
An old woman drove near and creased the back end of my car, she drove away 20yards and got out, also I got out and took a picture of her registration, she started shouting at me when I asked her for her details, she was honking mad.
She went back to her Volkswagen transporter and got pen and paper and wrote her details off.
A crowd of people gathered, I called the police, when she found out was calling the police I must have turned away from her, she turned my engine off and took my car keys and drove off.
A passer by told me whilst I was on the phone that he had seen her do it.
A sergeant in a quick response cop car took my details and radioed in to stop the woman in the VW transporter.
Suffice to say she wasn’t local, she was from another county, the Police sergeant told me the pursuit car officers had found my keys.
Her driving licence has expired, and she is being done for that, she passed a breath test and was not drunk.
Her insurance will be null and void because of the fact her driving licence has expired.
Unfortunately she parked a mile away after the fact and phoned the police she found some keys and was on her way to a police station to hand them in when she was stopped, so the cops wont be doing her for theft of my keys.
Her VW transporter has been compounded and taken off her.
So now it’s just up to me to sort my insurance company out tomorrow…… hopefully.
The witness told the police that I was very calm surprisingly.
The pursuit cops who stopped her brought my keys back to me and said “that was a very angry 70 year old woman”
