My neighbor had recently had his car
stolen, and there had been a number of other car thefts(偷盗案)reported in the local 1,
so although I was shocked, I was not too surprised when I discovered that my
own car was missing on that dark 2 morning.
As I live in a block of flats with no
garage facilities(监控设备), I have to leave
my car in the street to keep it 3.
I try to park it for the night as near my flat as possible. Until quite
recently there was always plenty of parking everywhere and I was able to leave
the car – a grey Mini car – just outside my flat. 4 the place was public, I looked upon it as
being my own.
That cold morning as I stood on the quiet
street very early, 5 in
hand, ready to get into my car, I found myself staring into the empty space.
The car had gone. I remembered parking it there the night before on returning
from the club up the hill. I walked up and down the street 6 it with growing worries. It was nowhere to be
seen. I hurried back to the place and saw a patch(一小块地) of 7 ground, exactly the 8 of my Mini, which proved without doubt that it
had been there during the night and been taken in the early hours when the
heavy snow stopped.

the phone, they said they would report back the moment they had any 10.
I found the phone ringing on my return home from work, I 11 to pick up the phone receiver.

"Yes, that's right. Has it been 13?"
"Yes, it has. Parked on the main
road. Almost the next door to your flat. Are you sure you didn't leave it there
yourself?"
To be 14,
I didn't want to say yes.
"Well, I understand," the
policeman said 15, "I'm sorry, sir, your car was
