Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

18 Oct 05, 12:00 AM - Disabled man takes police car

Posted by Lady Bracknell

Lady Bracknell does not condone theft. And she can't help but think that, when you've got an identifying feature as significant and permanent as a wheelchair, driving off in a police car after you've been arrested could be taken to imply that long-term planning is possibly not your strongest suit.



However, Lady Bracknell can't help but be amused by the cops' assumption that, if you cuff a wheelie and sling his chair in the boot, you've effectively immobilised him and it's completely safe to leave him in your own car unsupervised while you go and search his vehicle for evidence of more misgotten power tools. Not a mistake they'll be making again in a hurry . . .

And look, he's still on the run!
