Is there a ghost in my van.

[ElvisGaddafi]

Definitely sounds like a ghost to me.

No one could have got in and driven off,cos it had locked the keys in the cab,thats the whole point.

There are two faults here.

1. You are at fault for leaving the keys in the ignition, and should of not left the van running while going round to the back of the van as anybody could of jumped in and sped away. Leaving you either stuck in the back of the van or getting injured in the process.

2. There might be a fault with the van, but then again it might be a security feature.

If you were working for ups you would of got the sack for this. This is what exactly happened to someone I know.

A while ago I was on a rural and now and then I could hear what sounded like muttering coming from the front of the van,by the end of the round and after all the packets had gone and I could still hear the muttering I was convinced that the van was possessed.

It was only on the last call that I was looking down in the direction of the voice that it became clear it was the PDA talking and was working as a GPS and trying to direct me to god knows where.

Had another weird moment recently, I was delivering to some old peoples bungalows in the sticks and and each day there was this pheasant that would follow me from door to door.

On this particular morning I was near the last few bungalows with pheasant following and suddenly I heared this quiet voice saying "Hello Glen", I looked around and there was no one around,just the pheasant,which was stood staring at me enquiringly, I just stared at it and thought "No, don't be stupid" and carried on.
Two paces more and "And how are you today?".
The bloody pheasant was still stood staring at me and I was just about to say "Fine thanks" to the pheasant when this sweet old dear who had been quite ill looked around her porch door.
Man was I pleased to see her ,a few seconds more and she would have caught me in conversation with a pheasant.

I wonder if people are confusing unattended under the law which is below and Royal Mails instruction that ignition keys should be removed and doors locked when leaving the vehicle.

Unattended vehicle in law

Regulation 107(2)(a). This states that no person shall cause or permit to be on any road any motor vehicle which is not attended by a person duly licensed to drive it unless the engine is stopped and the parking brake is effectively set. Exemptions to the requirements of this Regulation as to the stopping of the engine include a fire brigade vehicle, the engine of which is being used for any fire brigade purpose.

As I see it you are not guilty of breaking the law because as you state you were with the vehicle, however, you may be on dodgy ground with failing to follow RM instructions if they want to be petty.

I've locked myself out of my van(Vauxhall Vivaro) a couple of times. Put the keys down in the back while refilling pouch, shut the door and a long walk to the phone box

Know that feeling...Shut the door...f**k where's the keys? Only excuse is that as a Reserve your always swapping between different vans (now you can add the Bipper to that list) each one has it's own little tricks!

Want a laugh?...jumped into a Bipper switched on the ignition..took a quick glance at the instrument panel and thought...s**t nearly out of Fuel. Drove to the Filling Station tried to fill up and it'd only take about 10 litres! Had a look at the Fuel Gauge, thought maybe it only Registers when the ignition's switched on, switched it on!.....DICKHEAD it was already FULL

Have you ever noticed the Bipper's fuel gauge goes the opposite way to the Old Vauxhall

Combi? I know now!

Done that myself.
