Weird. What kind of car thief carries ball bearings with them? There
seems to be a more plausible explanation to me...



which is? BTW the owner of thatbcar died about 20 years ago.


That the owner knew that the engine was already a bit shagged and dropped
them in himself...

Of course theres no way of knowing but it seems more plausible than car
thieving scrotes carrying ball bearings so that they can maliciously wreck
an engine of a vehicle that they plan to dump.
