    Can I buy your car?

    A woman in South Wales reported to the police that her Ford Focus car was stolen.

    In the report she also mentioned sheepishly that her mobile phone was in the car. The policeman who took down her details was quick-thinking and called her phone. He told the person who answered that he had read an advertisement in the local newspaper, and the Ford seemed just the car he was looking for. They arranged to meet at a highway rest stop, where the thief was arrested.

    The parking attendant

    Here is a funny story about a rather clever — and probably very rich — man.

    Outside Bristol Zoo in England is a car park, with spaces for 150 cars and eight coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with a ticket machine. The charges are 1 pound per car and 5 pounds per coach. Apparently on Monday June 1, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The council told the zoo, “That car park is your responsibility.”

    The zoo replied, “The attendant was employed by the City Council ... wasn’t he?”

    The council said, “What attendant?”

    Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about 400 pounds per day for the past 23 years.
