My car -a Hillman Imp broke down (big end) on the M6 near Stoke - many moons ago - my family and I carried on to Stockport I later returned with brother-in-law to collect car from garage for recon engine in M/cr - Garage open, no one around, we removed car, left a note, and drove and towed it away. some week or so later Police turned up at my door in Kent accusing me of theft - I explained situation, they recognised that I had taken myself out of the hands of Motorway ripoff merchants - paid the recovery charges, which were not in dispute and no further action was taken.
