It says he received a text from the other owner who found his phone number on a document in his car (implying that the other guy could get into his car somehow too). Why would you text someone who took your car, rather than call them?

Nothing about this story sounds legit, but shitting on tesla is so hot right now so obviously it's international news

The key card is NFC and has a very short range. Leaving it in the car won't allow someone else to drive your car, it has to be touched against a specific part of the centre console before you can select a gear, and it's unlikely to stay on that part of the console during transit. I'm not buying this explanation

This happened so long ago…wait, it happened again?

Sell their assets to fund the rebuilding

If they're bankrupted then who is going to rebuild the pub

I was shopping with my dad. Went back to the old mercedes we had back then, opened the door and kinda wondered why everything looked so different. That was ca. 30 years ago.

It is nice to see that one thing didn't change over three decades, the "fuck security" attitude of the car manufacturers.

Did you?

> They must go through the rubble of the pub with experts to see which materials might be salvageable and submit this to the council before rebuilding.

> Any materials that are missing will need to be sourced and approved by the council.

Dude, this is reddit - you know the answer to that question is always 'no'.

Not sure why this is on this sub. This seems like a fair ruling. They should be glad they didn't even have to pay a fine. Just court costs. I hope this rebuilding takes them to the brim of going bankrupt, but not quite.

"If I had a nickel for every time someone was ordered to rebuild a pub they illegally tore down I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."

I think you'll find those "mad scientists" failed to propose a hypothesis for testing and didn't write anything down. ergo they are "mad engineers".

Had the exact same experience with my friends Camero in the late 90s

What a weird thing to keep happening.

You're higoddamnlarious. Housing costs are never going to significantly drop in a US metro area unless the city is abandoned.

Everyone's answer to the housing crisis is to build more housing, but I don't hear a lot about where that housing is going to go. Try to put it in any city's historic district, and your are not going to get affordable housing for normal people.

You want affordable housing where I live, you have to move way the fuck out of the city (or start collecting roommates). Once you find affordable rent, your transportation costs have sky-rocketed.

The old "supply and demand" mantra isn't holding up so well after 2.5 centuries. They didn't have Airbnb, Berkshire Hathaway, or rent optimizing algorithms in 1776.

Nope

This is the most dangerous animal in the world.

My favourite genre of news story

My dad once owned a car where the door locks were so worn out that anything vaguely key-shaped would unlock them. The ignition had flanges around it so you didn't even need a key.

​

It only got stolen once before my dad decided to replace it with something new enough to require rear seatbelts.

NOT that?

Happened again.

Is this old news or did it happen again? I swear I heard this a year ago or more.

Strange, nobody I know likes what this woman says yet she speaks of our collective value system?
