As Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator, this morning I received
this from the local police:
"Sometime on either the 1st or 2nd
of November 2012 during daylight hours a 76 year old local man was taken ill
whilst transporting his Norton Motorcycle, through Tilehurst.
"He stopped at a house on what he believes
to be either the Tilehurst Road or The Meadway, and asked a lady if he could
leave the motorcycle in her garage temporarily which she agreed to.
"The garage was attached to the side of the
house.
"Since then he has been unable to recognise
which house he left the motorcycle at.
"The motorcycle is of great sentimental
value to the gentleman and anyone with knowledge of its whereabouts is asked to
contact Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 101."
My thoughts and feelings are spinning around this story, and I can't think of a title for the post.
"It is time to upgrade your Norton"

"Garage demolition contractors fail to check contents"
What do the police think that you are going to be able to do about it?
ReplyDeleteNorton my Watch!
ReplyDeleteDo they want you to knock door to door or something? How many houses are we talking about?
ReplyDeleteMuch Ado About Norton?
ReplyDeleteSay a prayer to St Anortony.
ReplyDeleteI’m so moved by the waves of sympathy pouring forth for the stupid old git, sorry, unfortunate old gentleman. As for what we can do, I’m sure the massed neighbourhood watches of Reading have already tracked down the kindly lady, who must have been sitting there racked with anxiety, unless she’s flogged it on eBay.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably it:
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a garage to me.
Next time I forget where I left my car in the multi-storey car park, I'll call the neighbourhood watch.
