As I drove back from filling my car up with the rest of the flock this evening (I'm not a vicar, I'm just using the sheep metaphor still!) something occurred to me...
At the moment, almost every car in the country is sitting at home, gassed up to the nines. In fact, in many places (commuter villages) you will find that ALL of the cars are fully-fuelled.
That brings up three possibilites:
1) oiks levering open the fuel flap and draining the valuable contents of the tank (many cars still do not come with alarms as standard)
2) joyriders knowing that any car they steal will be good for 300-400 miles of TWOC-tastic shennanigans.
3) the scariest, if there was a civil disturbance (such as the type that have occurred in Bradford once or twice in the last few years), any car you torch will have 10 gallons or more of highly-flammable petrol in it.
Perhaps I should stop thinking so much...
