We located the car in a local car park where the police have a locked pound and we paid 76 Euros to release it, which we thought could have been worse  :thumbsup:

Closer inspection of the paperwork reveals that we additionally owe the police a fine of 210 Euros.  sad32:  This we have decided to ignore and will wait and see if it catches up with us via the thieving hire company. We have decided to leave town pronto and head to Salamanca, so now we are technically on the run from the police.  rubschin:
