Back in 1988 (give or take) there used to be a craze here (I'm not joking) for a bunch of drunks to pickup a mini and move it for "laughs" though I can't imagine it happening in broad daylight. They used to keep blocking off the road over from our house just down from the pub by dumping them there for some reason thinking it highly amusing.

No words.
 
Cf202 is the manufacturer part number for the handbrake on an old mini.

You forgot to put on the handbrake.
 
Sounds like you didn't handbrake it. It rolled away out of your sight, across the road, mounted the pavement and came to a rest.

Those guys were probably running at you to make sure you didn't leave the scene in case it had struck other vehicles, LOL.

My first thought as well, i used to hear loads of stories back in the 80's of Mini's being moved for a laugh and being able to be done quite easily with just a couple of strong guys.
 
I don't know what really happened on that fateful day twenty seven years ago, but I do know that you should invest thousands of pounds in an infra-red camera immediately.
 
Crystal Meth was a big problem in Sunderland in the 80's.

I remember my uncle came out of a fish n chip chop there only to find his roller skates were 3cm to the left of where he left them. He asked a passer by if they saw anything and was promptly punched in the face repeatedly and told to grow a pair. He's still traumatised to this day. True story.
