PE> And did you call the police? 

No, but only because I felt sure that heaps of other people would have. 
Turns out that there were NO reports at Logan Central Police HQ at all. 
I'd explain all about apathy, but I couldn't be bothered.

PE> 000 is the number to call for "crime in progress". 

Unless you have an Ericsson mobile, then it's 0000.

PE> Did you get the license plate by any chance?  

Are you serious?  Had they driven up OUR street, we'd have been hiding
under the bed, which is no mean feat when you consider that ours is a
waterbed.

Regards, Bill
