A case of mistaken identity

[Silly Old Hector]

Mrs Hector heads out the morning to deliver eldest daughter to visit friend. She turns right out of the front door, whereas the car is left. She has a dress in hand which she is returning to a neighbour, so all makes sense. Eldest also leaves and turns right, leaving me to think she is off to talk to neighbour also....

Yeti indicators flash, suggesting they are both returning to head off. But, they're up the street, getting into another, almost identical Forest Green yeti, same vintage, with very similar reg number.

They're in someone else's car looking confused.....

Mrs Hector gets out, me doubled up, and comes down street to explain someone has broken into our car, stolen the mats, left it like a tip, with leaves and branches everywhere, with eldest wondering who but the box of tissues on the dash....

I point to our car, giggling at them.....

Driver of messy Yeti comes out, gets in and drives off, none the wiser....

question is how did they just get in the other yeti?

 

was it unlocked? or did the key or remote unlock it (if yes very poor security)

[Silly Old Hector]

I'm guessing it was open, as the driver came out and just opened the door. :-0

I'm not saying anything.

 

Not long after I bought mine I was at a local craft fair, parked in a large field. I got back to the car and the remote would not work, nor would the key.... In my defence at that time there weren't very many Yetis in these parts and I'd only ever seen one other Regency Green (the dealer's new demonstrator). It wasn't the number plate that gave the game away but walking round the back and not recalling my 1.2 TSI coming with a 4x4 badge! (The remote worked just fine on the Yeti two rows across and about 10 cars down though).

 

So Mrs Hector - you are not alone!

I wish someone would get in my disastrous Yeti and drive it away!
