[Drewster]

NO!

Say it isn't so!

I thought it was all real...

Zeity... You know in Star Trek... You know that Tubby Lump of Lard JT Kirk....
You do know he didn't actually sh*g all the Green Ladies and he didn't really beat up and kill all the Aliens.....

Oh Hang on!! You are a GAL you DID know that!!!!!

[Drewster]

HTH

Well Thanks Brillo ........ but (to be honest) that really doesn't cut it for me!

just doesn't suggest Sarcasm..... although now I come to think of it.. I am not sure what I would want a Sarcastic Smilie to be.......

Or a "I just got you to spend 10min typing all that, thinking you're really clever" smiley.

Oh, wait...

Its quite clear isnt it? The point of the piece was not whether Jezza was in any danger.
This gave some good PR to the tank regiments.
It also showed off a very well set up car in an environment where it could shine. Only to make a much bigger point.
He then showed drug dealers and other felons what could happen to their pride and joy should they be caught.
It was a spectacular way to show what HMG can do with seized property from crims.

I do hope the cars owner doesnt take it personally. Jezza could have made a real enemy there.

Surely HMG would be better off selling these confiscated cars and adding funds to public coffers. What a waste of a perfectly good car and public money !!

I don't want to fry your brain, but:

It would probably cost more to run a department selling cars than the money retrieved from said cars.

Would you buy that car? If you knew it had belonged to a gangster who might come looking for it? Would you feel a little agrieved if the police forgot to mention the car you just bought belonged to a gangster who came and asked for it back (politely obviously).

If they are that concerned, the IR could re-register the car and dump the old reg. Not so difficult really.

Good for manufacturers of 22 inch wheels and window tints too.
