    Start/Stop playing up?

    Yesterday, on my way home from work Start/Stop failed to work completely - every time I came to a stop the drivers display showed the Start/Stop icon with a diagonal line through it.

    Facelift Car stolen

    At what point did he actually snatch the keys from you? You seem unconcerned and relaxed when he actually gets into the driver's seat. It would have been difficult for him to drive off if you had the left the bonnet open, but at the time you probably didn't know he would proceed to drive away.
