Here's my idea. Initially the stories will be micro/flash fiction (maximum 500 words.)
Stupid Thieves! You Couldn't Make This Up. It's True!
At two o'clock on Sunday morning Jack was woken up by the sound of squealing car tyres followed by raised voices.
"Let me drive!" one voice said.
"Why?" replied his companion.
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Just because! Now let me friggin' drive!"
Then there was an almighty crash which sounded as though it had come from his own back yard. Now Jack was cross because his sleep had been disturbed. He put his clothes on and walked outside. A nearby shop's front window had been broken. Stolen goods had been strewn all over the street. But that wasn't the thing that made him most cross. The thing that angered him most was the mess in his own back garden! He walked over to the two robbers and banged hard on their window.
"You should have let the other guy drive!" Jack said.
"So what business is it of yours?" said one.
Jack banged harder on the window.
"You should have let the other guy drive!" he said.
By now one thief was almost as angry as Jack. He rammed the window down and shouted, "what the hell has it got to do with you, anyway?"
Jack pulled out his warrant card and pressed it in the man's face.
"You've just smashed into an unmarked police car, my unmarked police car!" he snapped. "And you're both under arrest!"
