Note found outside my house with my car reg on...erm...what?

[NorthernNick]

Afternoon PH'ers!

So, I've left my house this morning and was just about to get into my daily driver (parked just on the road) and spot a post-it note near on the floor. Picked it up to bin it and it has my (other, not daily driver) car's previous registration on. This reg was changed to my private reg about 2 weeks ago, and i'd owned the car for about 2 weeks with that registration on.

On the note is the first line of and address...not my own but for one on a slightly rougher area of the town.

Odd? What's making me a bit confused is that it has the old reg on..is someone out of date with their shopping list perhaps?

[Alucidnation]

Oooooooo maybe someone has you marked?


Or, maybe, just maybe, it fell out of your pocket?

Is it your own hand writing?

Any dags tied up near by?

If the post it note hasnt come from your house then you need to turn Sherlock and ask yourself why would someone else have a reason to have your registration number written down, with another address.

Could it be that some tea leaf has been given the number and a delivery address, and they turned up expecting the car to be outside?

I would sleep with one eye open tonight chap you never know.

[NorthernNick]

No dags- sadly. Could do with one!

Yep the delivery address does seem a consideration- I've popped to the area that address is in (in my daily!) and it doesn't look too brill. Lived in worse though.

Car will be parked behind locked gates when not in use for a while now.

Basic stuff to consider, such as putting the car keys out of sight, perhaps upstairs, putting whatever extra security you can on the garage door, if you have gates perhaps a cycle D lock or padlock and chain.

I know somebody who, when parking next to a badly parked or beaten up car, writes their registration on a post-it, and puts it inside his window so they can see it.

The theory being that they know if they scratch his car when leaving, he already has their details.

Maybe this was somebody equally as loopy, who came back to their car, found that you hadn't dented it, and threw the note away.

brilliant theory haha!

Yeah, car will be made completely inaccessible to anyone who knows where it is for the next week or two.

Neighbours have been alerted also as one has a car he really loves.

When you got the plates changed did you have new plates made up?

[Bowen86]

What is the car?

Odd. Time to dominate the stairs!

[Cfnteabag]

I would be looking for chalk marks on your drive your house, thats when you should be worrying!

[lufbramatt]

At least you know where to look if it does disappear.

I did do yeah, but at the dealership by someone I know. Trustworthy


The address will be useful to fetch the car and hammer frozen sausages in any grass visible.
