I've got a friend in High Wycombe who had his car set about with a
meat
cleaver , the bloke even stood on the bonnet to hammer the rood!
Also in High Wycombe friends had their car set alight parked directly
in the drive under their daughter's window.
They had bought it from a garage and he suspected that it had been a
write off after an accident once he had driven it home and had a
chance
to take a really good look, so he had reported it to the police. (He
was a car mechanic)
I surprised a T Leaf attempting to break into my garage one night
about
10pm. He scarpered when I switched on the security light, before
doing too much damage. Cops came quickly and called up the dog
man,
but he failed to pick up a trail (unlike the movies).
When the cops arrived they asked what I kept in my garage, and I said
a
few gardening tools and equipment.
"Have you got a car"?
"Yes, in the garage".
They seemed amazed to be told that I keep my car in the garage, so
asked where else would I keep it!
Sometimes you may have to put up with, what seems like stupidity from
the
police, stupid questions and hold them inside. Most times the old bill
will
have a reason, and that may be that you should not be there, or the twit
is
still at large, or both. Most of them are far from stupid.

It would be an amazement with me. I've rarely had a garage in any house
but when I have it's always been too full of 'stuff' to hold a car. ;-)

Yup, I don't think anybody I know keeps their car in their garage - ours
does have plenty of bikes though.

Well you can put my daughter and son in law onto your list. They have two
double garages for their four cars and they all live in their respective
garage. Mine generally does, but at the moment is outside because my motor
bike, worth more than my car, is in the middle of the garage.
