Someone has been leaving bits on my wife's car- either on the scuttle panel by the wipers or on the roof.

Bizarre as they are 12mm compression fittings, and the other bits, not so sure..



A near neighbour is a plumber, so can only think that when he's filling up his van (his garage is near where the car is parked) he's dropped some bits, and someone thinks they are from our garage?

To be fair, she may be banging the plumber and these are love tokens, but I'd prefer 22mm tube rather than the current length she may be getting winkwink

Old gypsy bumming trick. When you are unsuspectingly collectecting your new found gift a gypsy will ambush you from behind. He is just letting you get confident at the moment then when he sees you are becoming complacent he will strike. Be prepared.

Crows mate, they fancy you or the Mrs and are giving gifts.

Crow grooming, it's real. Know your enemy.

I like the gypsy trick, surely they should be taking it, not leaving it...

Try talking to the plumber / neighbour, if he denies any association start looking for a good divorce lawyer.

I reckon it’s a crow.

OT, but is that an Airbus key fob on the left of your picture OP?

The other bits are bushes and extenders out of a tap reviver kit. Not that it matters.

What is the book (catalogue?) next to the keys on the left of the photo? That's probably got something to do with it.

Keyfob - we've already established that it's like my Airbus one, but cooler.
