Laboured points

As David Blunkett announced his crackdown on crime in the Houses of Parliament today he also mentioned that he, himself was a victim of crime when he had his car scratched on a trip to the Lake District yesterday.
 
Now i dont know about anybody else, but i'm really worried that the guy owns a car at all.  It's not the brightest idea anyone has ever had is it?  Is it like Knight Riders car and drives itself?  And how did he know it was scratched?
 
Maybe he scratched it himself trying to put his key in the lock.  His dog could have done it as revenge for being fed Baked Beans instead of Pedigree Chum. 
 
Awwww...come on.  He's fair game.
