My dad was in Italy. He was at dinner with an Italian customer of his. The Italian guy had a top of the range BMW...during dinner it was stolen.

My dad offered his commiserations. Apparently the Italian guy simply said "no problem, let's take a taxi". He then phoned someone whilst in the taxi. His BMW was returned to his house the next day.

My dad reckons it was mafia....though there is no evidence of this.
