London 2012 Olympics: car breaks down, the police explode the car as a precautionary measure

University student drives from Newcastle to London, car breaks down. He leaves a notice at the windscreen, on going to seek help, comes back after a moment, and sees the car demolished by the police.

yep, i can't help it but i giggled the first time i read this on ATS too, couple of days ago.

i'm sure you'll find the other thread if you have a look

Interesting.

Anyone got a picture of the car?

And a picture of the expression on the guys face?

And here I thought my life was rough.

Nope. I don't buy it. The car broke down next to the House of Commons and Westminster Abbey and its driver - a muslim or at least muslim descendant - leaves a ticket on the dashboard and thinks: "Oh dear, what a jolly time to go sight seeing around the Old Buck, isn't it ?"
And KABOOM! goes the old banger

Give me a break.
It was a test; How long will it take for a car to become suspicious for being parked over there ?
Well, tough. Not long enough I hope.

Search function? What's that? The new breed of ATS'ers don't use no stinkin' search function, silly 'ol ladyteeny!

One thing is to search, the other to find... Its like in large organisations (having less docs than ATS to search from), when they say "you'll find it at xxx-drive or documentum" - never.
