Nearly got arrested this evening!
Just got my car back from a respray and to keep costs down I stripped the car so had to put it back together too!
I got home about 18:00 and had various parts to put back on but thought i will just get the locks back in so its at least secure!
As it was getting dark conditions were not ideal! Anyhow i dropped one of the lock screws down the rubber Chanel that the window slides up and down which meant I could not close the window until I got it out! Well it was a total bastard to get out and I must of been at it for a while with screw drivers magnet on a stick etc. when 2 police cars turned up flashing lights Etc. And asked if It was my car etc as there had been reports of somebody trying to break into it with a metal bar.
I had to prove I had the keys the police also insisted on coming into my house too and to verify my name and registration, just thinking thank god I payed my road tax before picking it up, been gone 4 weeks now
Slightly embarrassed but glad people are willing to report stuff like that to the police whether it was neighbours or passing traffic thankyou!
