Default All for a pac of butter

Evening all
just thought id share my joyous evening with you.
Last night popped out in "the scoob" as I do most weekends and was enjoying a drive decided to head of home when other half phones "could you grab some butter please"
mmmm okay this was at 9 pm finally found a shop thought great pulled up jumped out pressed button carried on in shop
brought said butter. came out pressed button didnt notice lights flash. thought thats strange it hadnt locked. jumped in anyway put keys in lights came on pressed button to disble immob but there was nothing.
only had this happen once before when a frind had borrowed it.
anyway tried everything overide keypad was not working (think its faulty) anyway finally got AA out. he tried several things to no avail. coming to an end when he happen to look up and notice 6 radio masts on top of the 3 storey flats opposite. decided its worth a try so we pushed it 100m down the road started first time.
Told my friend today and it turns out its the same shops he was parked at when it happened to him.
Finally got in at 23.30
what a pain in the ****.
moral of the story dont park by radio masts.
