That was on a few weeks back, they left the ignition switched off and the lock came on. Did anyone recognise the accent?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

i second that. Never have liked em. And now that most are electronically activated I'm even more spooked by them - thats the only hang up I
have about my car. When you take the key out you hear it engage a half second later when the electronic brain decides that it's ok to do so,
horrible to think that it only requires a software fault for that to happen when you're doing 80!!

It's for reasons like that that mine is disabled on the indy. I now have no worries about being towed at all.

I'd have thought banning the idiot behind the wheel was preferable

Second that! i'm sorry, but this is the kind of mistake you make with a quad not an impreza, towing the car with what looks (from the end part
of the video) to be a completely unsuitable tow cable, i think forgetting the steering lock is one of the LAST things that would slip off my mind.
