When we first heaved up around here, that is what my beloved did. And the car boot stank as a result. Since then, I have walked our rubbish to the nearest bin on a frequent basis, which has solved the problem.
Just out of curiosity - did you have to leave the boot open day and night.
With all that went on also burglars etc - surely the mcns would have known by then it wasn't a safe thing to do.
Or was it a safe place after all imo
I can't remember, because it wasn't significant at that time.
When we moved to Monte Lemos, right on the northern extreme, my beloved started off by insisting the drive gates were closed with every out and in trip. A bit of a pain in the rear as the gates were manual.
They also did not lock, so anyone could have opened them. Plus the rear boundary was a flimsy wire fence anyone could have got over or through. So after a while, we left the gates open 24/7, apart from holidays elsewhere.
Where we are now, the drive gate is also manual, also a pain. Sometimes it gets left open. Our neighbours are strong on advising us not to do this. We get gypsies here. And in Portugal gypsies are perceived as getting up to more than mischief.
We now have a car that is nearly 20 years old. We frequently leave it unlocked. Our thinking is that if someone is someone is so desperate that he wants an old tub, we are not going to pay for a smashed window or a forced lock.
So far, all we have suffered with the car is additional dents and scrapes inflicted in car parks, with the perpetrator making away successfully.
