Day: September 24, 2013

This afternoon I found that for the second time since I’ve been in France, someone has stolen the fuel cap off my car. Unfortunately, the fuel flap on the side of my Astra only locks when I lock the doors and the fuel cap inside simply unscrews. Quite often, like today, I don’t bother to lock the car when I leave it in the supermarket car park and someone was obviously close enough to see that I hadn’t. I thought that the first time was just a ‘once off’ and I’m disappointed that such a thing should have happened for a second time. It’s sad to think that such people are amongst us. Luckily, I still had the temporary cap that I bought to get myself out of trouble the first time, so could just put it straight on. Last time I bought a replacement cap off Ebay. This time I don’t think that I’ll bother 🙁
