One morning, after I had got up, had breakfast and got myself ready to go out, I strode over to the garage, opened the door, and there was no car inside.
First reaction was that my pride and joy had been stolen. Only I couldn't work out how they had got into the garage without damaging the door, and why they had so carefully closed the garage doors after they had taken the car out.
So I started to think back as to when I last used the car, and what had happened the previous day.
Then I worked it out.
That evening I had gone off to see my girlfriend. I had decided to drive round to avoid walking home late at night, and had therefore kept off the alcohol. Only at the end of the evening, whilst stone-cold sober, I had forgotten about the car and walked home instead.
Popped round to hers, and there, parked on the road exactly where I left it and completely unharmed was my car.
