there's a council estate (a few miles from me) where the legend goes "if you turn around for 2 minutes they'll knick the wheels and put the car on bricks, turn around again and they'll knick the bricks"
sounding familiar ?
There was a film in the late 70's (i think) called deathrace 2000 - bringing back memories now ?
oh, and less of the "chap" - we ain't posh on 'ere ya know
