i thought sswifts car analogy was a good one
at no point did he say the window was smashed and the ignition hot wired
now if s/he took a hotwired car to a legit garage for a new window and ignition the mechanic would have every right to be suspicious
but if said driver took the same car minus any damages cos it was bought (regardless of the honesty of the money) to the same garage for its mot and the mechanic thought it was hot its the mechanics own prejudicies calling the shots
10 years ago, when i was living in oldham, a shit hole outside of manchester, i saw a lamborgini countach or diablo but im thinking countach (however you spell it)
it was parked in a less than nice street and you could think "drug money" i know i did
this could have been early morning when i was working nights and missed my stop having to get off at the depot (probably fallen asleep)
but i later had a job near the bus depot so walked up and down each day and found a 'lap dancing' club very close to where i remember the car being, so my drug money became 'pimp' money
if i had seen this car anywhere else i might have thought otherwise
like for example in and around the science parks of cambridge i might find flash cars aplenty, not that i go looking mind you wrong end of town for me
so just cos someone you see has a flash car dont automatically make them a theif or a drug dealer/pimp they could have in all honesty one on the lottery
