The result...total panic and a VERY scary situation. Since then I reasoned if I get the 20 min warning I will be VERY far away by the tenth minute. I pack up my family and make like a tree and leave.The benefit of this is that if we get stranded in a normal car journey, we are good to go.One MASSIVE tip from my old stakeout days is carry a wide necked bottle in your glove box (think fabric softener bottle) it makes going for a pee whilst stuck on a motorway a LOT easier than trying with several miles of traffic watching you in the hard shoulder.I gues you don't drive a Mini.....

One winter day, returning home after a late night out with friends, out of nowhere I thought of the Power Pliers and decided to take it into the house to play around with. The next morning as I prepared to leave for work, my car was gone. Stolen, never recovered.... But I still have my Power Pliers.
