The joy of joyriders

Had joyriders driving round the estate last night. One ploughed straight into the back of a parked van that a nice little old couple own. He legged it before anyone could even check if he was all right.

You think that that'll be the end of the story but from that point on, the following groups of people turned up:

• The police, to supervise and take down information and witness statements
• The scene of crime officers to get evidence
• A low-loader lorry to take away the crashed car
• A dog unit to chase after the escaping teenager

So it was a couple of hours before the whole thing died down - always good late at night. Thank you joyriders.
