Earlier on today - early evening so it was quite dark, especially in this village with little or no street lighting, I had to pop round to see Sue, so DH said, take the car, it is bitterly cold outside.
Sue lives down a country lane - 8 houses then farms. It is a narrow country lane.
I got there ok, no problem, it is only 5 minutes drive. When I came to leave, I could not back out of her drive and go in the proper direction due to how some people had parked on the roadside, so Sue said just drive a bit further down the road and use that farmers driveway for turning............so I did.
She waved to me as I then drove past her going the right way home.
When I got home, DH came out and said Sue was on the phone so I got out of the car and went to talk to her.........................
It seems that when I backed into the farmers drive area, and touched bumpers with what I thought was shrubbery, I had somehow managed to link up a little box trailer thingy.............and brought it home with me 
Now I know why Sue was waving at me when I passed her!
She said that the farmer will probably not have noticed, but if she wants me to go and explain to him why I had stolen his trailer, she would meet me there! DH would not take it back for me, so I had to get back in the car, and that is when I noticed this box thing hooked onto my bumper, so I got some string to tie it on properly then I had to drive to Sue's house and we unhooked the trailer thingy and, under cover of the dark, we pushed the trailer back to where it probably was.
I am surprised he didn't hear our giggles
The awful thing is................this is the second time I have done this...............first time was several years ago when I had to turn the car around in a lane next to the church and finished up taking someone's trailer home with me
