A victim of a spate of car thefts amid freezing cold weather says he only left his vehicle running unattended to de-ice for a matter of minutes while he bid goodbye to his wife.
As Miles Key was leaving for https://da88.video/ work, he spotted overnight frost had frozen the windows of his Peugeot 3008 which was parked on the driveway of his cottage on the outskirts of Tedburn St Mary, Devon.
He said he popped outside to turn the engine on for no more than five minutes as he said goodbye to his wife Louise. But as he walked through his kitchen he saw the back of his car disappearing as it was stolen by opportunists.
Miles's £8,000 company car was one of four vehicles stolen on Tuesday morning after owners left them unattended with the engines running in an attempt to de-ice them.
Police also received a report of a delivery van being stolen while it was pulled over at the side of the road.
