Of all the places to dump a stolen car, the middle of the woods might be one of the better ones.

That was probably the thinking behind the people responsible for stealing this silver car (pictured), except Orpington Police had other plans.

The police took to Twitter to share the news that they had stumbled upon the stolen vehicle in the middle of the woods in St Mary Cray.

Although the car was found, its condition was a little worse for wear.

The license plates were gone while the back and front windows had been smashed.

All in a hard day's work.
