Sheffield (UK):
It's a mystery that has got motorists in Wardle scratching their heads.
They are trying to find out what it is that is preventing them from starting their cars in the vicinity of the Hare and Hounds pub.Vehicles have been affected in the pub’s car park on Ramsden Street and nearby in East Street.
Drivers switch on the ignition and the immobilisers immediately become jammed.They claim this strange phenomena began 18 months ago, about the same time as a mobile phone mast was erected in the grounds of Birch Hill.
Frustrated Ramsden Street resident Alistair Fitton said: "One night mine, the landlady’s and another man’s car just wouldn’t start. The immobiliser on all three cars had mysteriously frozen.They have now come up with a back-breaking solution – a free push into the corner of the car park, where a bottle bank just happens to be in line with the mast.Mr Fitton is unable to park near his home and now leaves his car at the bottom of East Street.
