I'd imagine the bloke who stole it woke up the next morning with a massive hangover, looked out of the window and thought "Oh God what have I done?"

Thread called 'Chameleon has been stolen' the irony of it

Chameleon my ****, By definition Chameleons blend in with their surroundings, that thing would struggle to blend in anywhere except in a huge vat of vomit. Each to thier own i suppose

Glad he go his car back mind!

Proof that some theives are stupid. Stealing a car that sticks out like a sore thumb...no wonder they found it


Right, I'm off for a quote to get my Scoob painted glitter-fleck Pink. And get the alloys redone in bright green

And to think, someone was only trying to do the poor owner a favour

Not really my sort of car. Glad to hear he got his "pride and joy" back though, and well done to those involved.

I don't like to be pedantic but unfortunately I can't help it: chameleons don't change colour to blend with the background, they change colour to reflect their mood.

That one's presumably a bit pre-menstrual.
