Facts: This is a true story! Volkswagen Golf GTI 83 Rabbit, green-metallic, sunroof.
The car was stolen early Thursday morning 28.02.96 and
police took the car with the 3 persons on the snapshots, at about noon the same day. Two
cars with same licenseplates. :-)
I did not know anything before getting home, but filed a missing
car report the same night. Ref: 16911 Oslo Police Dept. |
Other: Norwegian car-registry
bureaucrazy: After getting the car back I went to get
numberplates for my car. They requested a police report for stolen numberplates and told
me the police report for the car was not good enough. I attempted telling the people that
numberplates were normally on the car. A thief would not steal the car, but leave the
plates? But nobody ever gets fired from a government office so the officer could safely go
back to finishing her fingernails.
Back to the police reporting stolen numberplates, returning to
the car registry, and after lots of hard travelling and totalling 4 hours standing in
line, I got my plates :-) |
Epilogue: Ref
16911/96: Case is dropped due to insufficient evidence connecting a suspect to the crime.

Again: 14.06.96 The
car gets stolen again, this time for good. I buy an old Mazda 626 which have yet to be
stolen. |
