Short Story called, "The SWITCH"
* Once upon a time there was a man named Rux
* He'd saved up for ages for a nice GTR
* Parking this specimen in a safe place was a problem
* His neighbour's car was vandalised
* Rux wasn't willing to lose sleep and wait for the inevitable
* He'd already seen cars slow down whilst occupants eyed off his car
* Rux put his car into storage and bought a near identical rusty Sh!tbox version to park in the same old spot
* He went to Supercheap and bought a car cover
* Late at night he went to the local police station and stole a set of plates off a police car
* Rux switched these plates with the ones on his Sh!tbox and put the car cover over it and the plates
* This he did every night and in the morning, he would put the Sh!tbox plates back on again
* Sure enough, the thieves eventually returned
* They thought Rux was dumb to think that a lowly car cover would prevent a theft
* But they didn't realise that Rux was only making sure the plates were covered
* After one of his restful sleeps Rux awoke to find his 'precious car' had been perloined.
* He discreetly took the real Sh!tbox plates down to the police station and switched them with those on another police car
* Rux tossed those police car plates into a council bin and went inside the station to report the theft
The thieves were caught pretty quickly and were charged with 3 counts of stealing instead of 1
Rux now parks his GTR at the front with the previously discarded car cover over it.
