  1. Storytime! A lady in Northern Norway gets her SAAB convertible stolen. The thief runs out of gas on a mountain pass and lets the car call the owners (!). He asks for the “diesel card” to pay for gas, it’s a petrol engine, btw. So the owner understands he is on a road with little traffic, and takes a chance to drive up this mountain road. Finds her car, stops. The thief asks politely if she could tow him, she answers, no, because the automatic could be damaged – not mentioning it’s her car. Then he asks for money. She instead says she’ll call for road assistance, while she actually calls the police. Then she sits down with the thief on the guard rail and has a nice conversation with him. “So, how do you like your car, would you recommend it to someone like me?” – “I haven’t had it for long yet” etc. Police arrives, she reveals it’s her car, thief is busted. Pretty amazing story…

    1. Wow – good to know the dipsticks are not only in the states. Then again, if this story were in Tennessee: She would have rolled up, drew a firearm and killed his thieving ass. Then call the meatwagon.

      1. Yes, that’s a pretty significant difference. Lucky this happened in a city, too – lots of small communities have closed their police offices due to low crime. I can expect a 45 minute minimum reaction time on weekends.
