I can't remember seeing that thread before, but I had a little guess who you could have been referring to before I clicked the link, I'm delighted, though not surprised, that I was spot on.

We had a "discussion" with a Supermarket chain
We had finished shopping and were loading the car when car passed us at speed, mounted the kerb and drove into the bushes bordering the exit, where it came to a stop.
We went across to check if the driver was alright and he stank of booze, so we took away the keys and went into the store, asking the Security Guard to assist.
Apparently it was outside their jurisdiction to detain a customer just because they were driving drunk across their car park!
Fortunately the Police were less reticent

I bet it would suddenly have been their jurisdiction if the car had gone through the store window.

I do my own stunts
I have done this before with a driver who had already driven dangerously and was being very aggressive. Threw the keys into the hedge a few hundred metres down the road. I'd far rather do that then spend the rest of the journey with some knobjockey trying to hit my bike.

OK, I admit it: it was me. They deported me to Australia in a record short time, and here I remain for the term of my natural life. I guess they decided the old solutions are the best ones.

Chapeau. I've often been tempted, though as an old bugger I'd have thrown the keys in yards rather then them newfangled meters.

Be wary of those Mossad keys with Semtex in them.

Wow. How quiet is Hove. A full page article on a total non event.
This happened to me when a coach driver took offence at me telling him to move his parked coach (he was reading a newspaper) from across the entrance to my office car park. He tried to take the keys and just snapped them off in the ignition.
I got into more trouble with the police than he did. They were totally disinterested with his "attempted theft, actual criminal damage and attempted assault" and wanted to follow up his claim of assault (I pushed him away, swept his leg and sat on him) took a full morning out of my diary to sort it out.
No mention in the local rag!

I love local papers. Not. Typical page 2 story...
"Mrs Smith, age 67, tripped and fell while shopping in the high street on Tuesday. She was slightly injured, but was able complete her shopping."
They're such poor journos that when something really does happen, such as a terrorist incident, a sleb punches a local, Eric Pickles found dead in the greengrocers, they get so excited they come over all Daily Mail with CAPITAL letters here and there for THOSE who CANT read.
