    Well, a fine outcome to another story of thoughtless thievery.

    That..... or some chump saw the keys, couldn't pass up on the opportunity, and swiped them. While he was leaving the scene of the crime, in an expedient manner, he telephoned his copious amount of friends, that are involved in nefarious activity, to see if they would be interested in a stolen MINI. Once the perpetrator realized there is no market for stolen MINI's he ditched it in the car wash..........Hmm, suspicious........

    Yes I think a joyrider too. In any case very fortunate that the MINI wasn't dumped & torched. Were the keys in the MINI when found? If not I'd be concerned if it was mine.

    When I was 19, I lived across from a laundry service. I was walking to school one day and a guy in a newish Porsche 911 cut in front of me, pulled up to the front door of the dry cleaners, left the car running and brought in his laundry. The 911 was just sitting there in front of me, running.

    It was a seminal moment in my life. Which path would I turn to? Any guesses what I did?

    Much like the story of the 15% pulley, we'll never know.
