That has been in the news of late, with crime-spies, watching for drivers using phones & so on. I may have witnessed a crime taking place in the Stoke area of Coventry, during my commute to UHCW. I am not going into graphic location details, but this may be the plot, involving three vehicles. A weed seller operating from his car. A taller vehicle say a van, the lookout. Then the weed feed vehicle. The seller car parked in a quiet street. The van some distance away, but has vision of the sellers car. Then the weed feed car, parked well out of sight, where the occupant walks to the seller car with each individual supply in between each customer. The lookout van driver coordinates the movements of both customers & supply. Now, either I have a very vivid imagination, or I was witnessing a weed sale. What made me more suspicious was seeing the same scenario in the same location on two consecutive evenings. That was a couple of weeks ago, but not seen it since, well not there anyway. That three vehicle syndrome has all that it needs for criminals to carry out their version of a car-boot sale. So if you see an unusual car parked, where you live, with folks going to it quite orderly, then you see a parked van with someone texting, where it is obvious that their No 29 from the Chinese takeaway would have arrived & been eaten five times over, you might be witnessing a car-boot weed sale - who knows.
