I was driving down a dual carriageway in town today and there was a car stopped at a junction of one of the minor roads leading onto the dual carriageway. I was about 50 metres from the junction. Then all of a sudden, the four chav kids (all had baseball hats and tracksuit type things on) jumped from the car leaving all the doors open and ran off. It was obvious by now that they were de-camping from a stolen car.
By now I was level with the front of this stolen car - still on the dual carriageway but I had slowed to a walking pace because the car they had jumped from hadn't got the handbrake on and was slowly rolling onto the faster road. Three of the kids ran off and the fourth (the passenger) suddenly turned back on himself and without looking ran right onto the road in front of me. I slammed on the brakes (we had just been to Tesco so all the bags of shopping in the boot shot forward....) and this kid ended up rolling onto my bonnet and off again - he regained his balance, ran over the other two lanes of the road forcing other cars to stop and he was off away on his feet down what we call a snickett.
As he wasn't hurt (unfortunately) I carried on home, just round the corner, so we could off load our shopping. Then got back into the car and went back to the scene. By now the police were there and a SOCO guy looking over the stolen motor for fingerprints. I told the PC that I was a witness and that my car may contain one of the youngsters fingerprints on the bonnet as he bounced off it. I had my car dusted for prints, but because the kid slid over the car, the prints were all smudged and not usable. Anyway, I have heard that the police have now caught two of the four kids involved. I thought that the kids looked between 10 and 14, no more. Anyway, my bonnet now needs a wash as it is full of aluminium dust that SOCO used for fingerprinting. Take a look at the 'mess'
