Did you see the report on the car parking company at LGW last night?

very scary. They left the punters cars on industrial estate roadways and with watchdogs car took it to over 100MPH on trips to leave it in the loading docvk area of a supermarket for two days.
Thank god for trackers!

I did, Obi. We always check our mileage, even though we use the self-park options. We've got a car that might appeal to someone who fancies a joyride. In fact we do the same if we have to leave it anywhere, even the garage. OK, they can claim that they need to road test it in certain circumstances, but any more than a couple of miles and we're asking questions.

If they took my car they would soon have to fill up with petrol - it only does 25 to the gallon!!!

Eeeek!

Just looked at the report on Watchdog's website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/watchdog/reports/holidays_and_travel/holiday_20070227.shtml

Glad to say that I only ever use licenced firms... "Pink Meet & Greet" sounds like real cowboys. :(

Good point about checking mileage and damage though.
