Open car boot

If you live on Whatman Street (Garthorne Road end) and own an Audi, I noticed that your boot was open when I passed about 5 mins ago. I closed it as it’s already mighty icy out there but you might want to check that there is nothing missing.

I just hope the owner wasn’t in the boot trying to fix the rear seatbelts. :joy:

I did check it was empty…:wink:

Weirdly this afternoon I was on Bovill Road down near Gabriel Street and I spotted another open boot, seemingly forgotten. Maybe I’m Magneto???

Mmm, this is odd. We lock our car every night but a few months ago found it open. A good few people have reported the same thing. May be worth dropping the local SNT a line.

@ForestHillSNT have you had reports of thefts from car boots in the area? We’ve seen a couple of boots mysteriously left open and wondered if there was a pattern?
