The missus got woken up at 3 am on sunday by an awful noise out front of the house, she poked her head thru the curtains to see a car out side with someone just getting out and lookin at the front wheel - he got backed in, drove it (noisily) 10 yards and (nearly) getting it in to a parking space, proceeded to get out, take another look, pop his hoody up and sauntered off!
In the morning it was still there, still badly parked!

So I go take a look, to my amazment i see this:

The rear tyre was also flat and wheel was slightly kerbed (and very bald!).
Later that day, i drive past a bus stop about half mile up the road, and spot this:

Which had come to rest after smashing under this:

From what i can tell he'd come off the roundabout far too fast, (not helped by the condition of the very bald tyre), smacked the kerb (just where the lorry is on the right), bounced back on to the road where the outer rim of the wheel had parted company with the hub and proceed thru the bus stop and he managed to drag the car the half mile down the road (check the flat brake disk on the 2nd pic) where he came to park it up!

2 people came and swapped tyres and took it away this evening. I was gonna ask some Qs but they looked pikey enough for me to leave them too it!
Checked the plate on the MID and its covered, so apart from 2 bald tyres and a Tw@t behind the wheel, its was semi cosher.
Ive hit my fair share of kerbs, taking out wishbones and chassis, but never managed that much damage to a rim!
