Can I have your keys please mate?

Post by skippy »

Parked up this morning at my workplace and a security man came over wearing Hi-viz jacked at said, "Hi Mate, could we have your keys please, just incase we have to move your vehicle given the conditions at the moment". He looked at me quite dead pan, but then I saw another security man having a chuckle. I was initially quite worried and not willing to hand over my keys at all, but I thought it could be genuine.

Then the first security man said, only joking, that is a fine motor and started peering through the windows and asking me how it compared to the original Scirocco :)

Not the first time this has happened, nice to get that kind of attention, so long as it is from decent people, rather than those that begrudge you having your pride and joy that you work so hard for!
