Aye  >:(  I couldn't have caught whoever it was, I've never seen someone move so fast (I'm not being racist but i think this person was black unless this person was wearing black gloves). Shame he didn't drop his phone or wallet or something then i might have considered going to the police... Its not safe anywhere these days  :-\

Will give it a closer inspection definitely, I live fairly far from this shop some 25miles, I'd be more concerned if it was locally, I'll just avoid that area next time.

A good kick then reverse over them, afterall, who in their right mind would voluntarily lie down under a car in a carpark ::)

Make sure you stop immediately though :y

The exhaust would have been fairly hot id have thought, 25 miles there then i was in the shop some 10-15 minuets, Maybe that would explain the black hands, Some kind of gloves maybe  :-\

I'm not being racist but i think this person was black

There is nothing racist about using the word black to describe the skin colour of the offender.

Now if you had said that he was a thieving, good for nothing, rubber lipped, spear chucker then that would be wholly unacceptable as it would be obvious to anyone those type of comments are racist......but you never said that so don't worry  ;D
