I would be intrigued to know if the crime figures have risen since the lights 'switch off'. Last week I had my car stolen from across my drive and the pitch black street would have made an easy job for the thieves.
Also, there are no CCTV cameras anywhere nearby so it is unlikely the police will be able to trace it. Perhaps I could ask if anyone sees a light blue Mini Cooper S with a white roof, registration number PX52 JKF, to contact your paper.
