It was late August 2004 ……….. I was busy cleaning the house when the door bell rang, I stopped what I was doing and went to see who was at my front door. As I walked to the door I could see the outline of a person in dark uniform and immediately my heart jumped in my mouth I expected to hear what every parent dreads to hear. I opened the door and it was a Policeman and the officer said “Mr Everitt?” yes was my reply ……….. “Do you own a Honda Civic registration **?” I said yes Officer what seems to be the trouble …………. My mind trying to work quickly did I speed and have they caught me? The Officer then asked “How often sir do you drive away from garages without paying for your petrol?
I was flabbergasted I would never do that and I haven’t done that. The Officer then said – “When was the last time you paid a visit to Droitwich (Near Birmingham)?”
I replied well that will be easy Officer it was 1991 and I was recovering from an operation at the time and my Daughter and son-in-law, my wife and son went to the zoo there! “I s your car in the garage sir?” I said yes, “Would you mind if I have a look?” No of course not Officer. So we went to the garage and I lifted the bonnet/hood and the Officer checked the vin number and my mileage too. He wrote all the information down in his pad what he wanted to know.
At this we went back inside the house and into the lounge, the Officer sat next to me on the sofa an said that my car had been cloned which meant someone had identical number plates and had put them on their own Honda car.
I said to the Officer I don’t believe this ……………… its too much of a coincidence I told him that I have had the Police to my house twice in two weeks!
I explained to him what had happened in the cemetery and then now this! He laughed and said “I’m sorry but you were the talk of the Police station …. and its you! ….. Nice to meet you Mr Everitt and we know you haven’t deceived the garages we had got an Id of the person and it doesn’t match your description so thank you for your help!”
It makes you think how my number plate was cloned mmmmm anything to do with “An Attack In A Cemetery” I wonder?

Thank You Amber it was funny when I look back at it but its made me slightly paranoid whenever I fill up with petrol/gas I always make sure I keep the receipt for at least 2 years now! (well it gives me something to do!). Thank you for your comments they are so welcomed – David :>))

What a funny storey and well told, I hold they catch the clone.
silverstrummer... replied
Thank you so much I don’t know whether they caught the person, but unfortunately it happens quite a lot in the UK now. The price of petrol/gas is terrible over here, the Government keep putting it up …........ then it has a big knock-on effect with food etc. Your support is so much appreciated – David :>))

So someone made a copy of your plates and put them on their car? Scary.
silverstrummer...
Yes Helen they certainly did they fill the car up and zoom off! I suppose its better that way than going into the filling station and “holding it up” it is scary there is abig credit/debit card cloning as well and it’s getting worse. I shred every piece of paper that goes in the dustbin like a lot of other people do but they get stung by people stealing money from your cards! We have actually seen it being done on television there is a police programme that shows a cashier dropping your credit/debit card accidently on purpose and at his feet out of sight is a machine that swipes the card and a little camera in the ceiling above which records your pin numbers, there are thosand of people who have had money stolen! OOps went off the track a bit!! Sorry – Thank you so much for your support it is very much appreciated! – David :>))

Hi lil me! It certainly can drain your spirits and tests your integrity its amazing how they can find out so much these days – then I suppose internet shopping is partly to blame also. I hope your experience wasn’t too bad Amber – David :>))

Great story, kind of freightening.
silverstrummer... replied
Thank You for your comments it wasn’t a very nice experience at the time as it’s also made me nervous that it might happen again, I keep all receipts that I get for my Petrol now as sometimes at the garage you have to ask for a receipt some don’t like giving them out! – David :>))

What a nice written story. You must have been glad they found out. What about if the people who cloned your car did a robbery or a murder? And police where looking for your car? How scary? Always make sure you have an alibi and never be on your own? This saying to make it a bit more scary ? Fantastic!!!!! A good warning too, of what is going on in the world. Cheers Esther
silverstrummer... replied
Thank You Esther for your comments they are appreciated very much – I never thought about the car being involved in some other crime like murder . now thats scary …........... I haven’t got that car anymore …... because of what had happened! Yes it is a good warning! – David :>))

A real worry what they can do now, at least you were found not to be the guilty party though, l remember the film “The Net” where someone wipes out Sandra Bullocks identity, makes it all to real !
silverstrummer... replied
Hi Trudi Thanks for your comments ….. it is frightning once the criminals have your identity I have always shred anything with my name on it such as envelopes etc. and any bank statements! I’m so wary theses days!

Very very strange. Luckily they didn’t do something really horrible. Your stories are told with humor and emotion. I do so appreciate them.
