[quote author=Dewy  link=1083605908/0#14 date=1083705934]The police & fire service do the same yet it was always me who got blamed [/quote]

On a related note, my vehicle is fitted with Tracker. So if someone were to threaten me to get my car keys I'd be delighted to hand them over knowing that I'll have the car back within an hour and Mr Reprehensible will be making an appointment to see the beak.

Anyway, I pick my daughter up from St Johns Ambulance every monday evening. And like clockwork whilst I'm out doing that little job Tracker phone up to say my vehicle has been stolen (it's apparently moved without the ignition being turned on). My wife takes the call and says it's okay, I've stolen my own car. Like a favourite TV program, same time each week.

Reason being that the Fire Station is immediately behind the St Johns Ambulance place and when I'm turning my car round in the car park the whizzy electrons are doing their thing to phone Houston and report a problem.

I've had to take avoiding action on this by not going into the car park, but dropping her off out in the road. Works a treat.

Tracker have been out to look into the problem because they didn't like the fact that their box of tricks was waking up their operators early on monday evenings. They can't fix it.

I'm just glad that my tracker isn't getting those fireman scrambling down a pole..... Wink

Was that before or after CB was legalised?
I knew a radio control freak who went mad when CB became legal in Nov 81. He was always losing control because he used crystals that used the legal CB frequency but he didn't want to buy new crystals that lowered the frequency to those he could safely use..

It was before they became legal when they were on 27mgs. After they legalised the CB they changed the radio control systems to 35mgs so eleviating the problem. I was a bit pi**ed off I can tell you as it was a scale Mustang and took me months to build.
