Drive through car wash

A colleague borrowed a minibus from a local school to run a DoE expedition. During the course of the weekend he found himself in the forecourt of a petrol station and saw that the easiest route to the exit he wanted was to nip through the car wash. Not appreciating how high the minibus was he clipped the car wash mechanism with the top of the minibus. As it looked like there was no damage to either minibus or car wash he drove away. On hearing this story a group of us decided to play the following prank on him. A friend from the school who owned the minibus phoned this colleague up the following week saying that the garage had identified the minibus from their cctv footage and had contacted the school as there had been considerable damage caused to the car wash. A letter ‘from the garage’ confirmed all the details of the date and the minibus registration. He was asked to ring the deputy head of the school to explain the circumstances and had a very uncomfortable conversation with that deputy head teacher – who knew nothing about the incident.
