Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years...! Probably just one of these internet stories but.......

I sooo want that to be true... I know its wrong but fair play to him for the pure front to get away with it for so long! No wonder he was so charming and polite!
Bryn Posted 5 June 2009 Posted 5 June 2009 Surely they'd have noticed that they werent actually getting any revenue from him at all?

Bert Posted 5 June 2009 Posted 5 June 2009 I hope the bloke don't get caught, facing a long stretch if so!
