I'm smelling fishies too.It's £68 a year for cover with Autoaid - less than a full tank of fuel on most cars. Why wouldn't you be organised and get Home Start, Roadside and National Recovery for that, instead of going home, leaving your wallet and valuables in a car, on the side of a road and coming back with a tow truck?
If you can't afford £68 to ensure your car is covered then there is public transport.

When it breaks down she uses her parents cover as she knows they always bail her out
Do they go to Facebook before the police because they're more likely to get a "well done hun" and some dopamine hits from the "likes" or do they genuinely think they can track down the owner better than the police can despite posting very little info about the car?

Someone's also stolen all the full stops from her post. I think you're right though. It's just to get a sense of self satisfaction from complete strangers, or trying to make themselves the victim and get sympathy because the poor hun has got someone else's car stuck on their drive.

Any sort of problem in life, straight to Facebook, I mean I guess they are using what tools they have to get to their goal, but what would they do if it was 25 years ago and facebook wasn’t a thing, who would they be contacting for the latest drama

Ah the good old days when you had to wait a week for Boots to develop your photos and then go round all your mates houses to show them the pics of that nice dinner you had.geeks said:

Place I used to live went insane when a suspicious van was spotted, as well as a couple of men spray painting 'suspicious markings' on the pavement. They even set up night patrols where absolute weapons would do laps of the village throughout the night.
The fact the van was sign written with UNITED UTILITES and the 'suspicious men' were wearing United Utilities hi-viz jackets didn't seem to have any effect on their behaviour. Nor did the fact that everyone in the area received a letter a couple of weeks previously stating there'd be work taking place.
Once the work started to take place and temporary traffic lights went up they soon moved on to complain about that instead.
