On leaving Brinkster Central and starting my morning perambulation to the station* I spied that a VW something-or-other-estate outside number 8 was parked with its left-front wheel propped up on a couple of bricks in the road. I don't know if the owner did this as an impromptu way of supporting it while getting a recalcitrant tyre fixed, or whether some light-fingered local had taken a shine to said wheel and made off with it. Either way I hope the owner didn't stroll out of the house, get in the car and then try and drive off.....

Perhaps I'll find out what happened this evening. 

*sorry, but I liked the rhyme
