I live in a very small place with lots of small people.Anyway, I had had my first car for a few weeks and in the same day I managed to break both my wing-mirrors in the very small lanes around my parents house. Said parents had a right go when they saw my car later that evening so to get myself, out of trouble, i binned the smashed glass and told them they had been knicked. My horrified parents drove me straight to the little local police station where I had to make a little statement about my stolen wing-mirrors. The next day there is an article on the front of the little local press detailing this terrible crime that had happened to my little car.
/edit I am glad to say this is the only time I have made the front page of the local press, although there have been numerous page 3 appearances (this is the local business page thankfully).

something similar happened to me once...managed to zeppelin one of the wing mirrors off my parents spangly new focus whilst doing 60 too close to a parked van. Told them it was like that when i returned to the park car later. Cost them £60 to repair. Not told them and possibly never will
