of almost car thefts

i live in norway, a quite safe place. we have quite a lot of drug addicts though and things are stolen occasionally. we think an addict found his way into the base and stole 2 computers, dvds, cameras. bikes have also been stolen. it's safe though, really. tonight though a group of us were getting ready to drive to a youth club when we walked out of the base to the car and there was someone inside it! stina threw open the door and (in english) yelled, "excuse me? this is my car! what are you doing?" the guy, totally confused, replied in norwegian-english, "uhh, i, uhh, thought this umm, was my car!" in english again, stina told him, "no, it's our car. get out!" nevermind that no one in his right mind would want to drive the car, much less steal it - it was in a major accident and the entire left side is caved in, the cd player was already stolen, and it's a hundred years old. but the guy got out, apologized, and then proceeded to light a joint. sweet.
