The stolen car

Two weeks ago a bloke in my local pub decided to go to town (Adelaide ) and do some Christmas shopping.
He had 60 frozen squid heads for a doctor friend of his to be used for fishing.
The squid heads were in a U beaut esky and he went to a big shopping centre in the suburbs.
He bought a couple of cartons of grog and a couple of bottles of whisky.

He then bought $150 of meat which he put in the esky after taking the squid heads out.
He went back into the mall to get vegies and came out of the mall only to find no car there.
He rang the boys in blue and when they arrived they said his was the fifth car that day that had been stolen.

He got in touch with his insurance and they gave him a loan car and said he could claim up to $150 worth of personal items in the car.
That included the grog and the meat.

Eight days later he got a call from the man in blue.to say they had found his car.
" great he said, where was it".

Reply was, " in the car park where you left.

It appears he went into the mall in one door and exited from a different door.

He then asked what the car was like, the man in blue said " it's full of maggots and stinks to high heaven.
Upshot was they had offered one of the trolley guys $200 to clean it which was turned down and it went to a cleaning company to be cleaned.

Then to top it all, because the car wasn't stolen, he had to pay $500 for the use of the loan car.

Then like an idiot he went to the pub for pint and told the manager.

when we went into the pub on Friday the manager told everyone who walked through the door.

The car owner when he came in was totally ignored by everybody but the chat going from one end of the bar to the other was hilarious.
Things like "does anybody want to buy a Holden full of maggots, going really cheap."

We were all told to go forth and procreate.. There was much laughter in the pub on Friday and he will never live it down.

We still can't believe he didn't just say the car had been found and it was empty.:U:U:U:U
