"On the back was an L plate - not sure if this had anything to do with how it got stuck or whether the driver needed to go to Specsavers. Our guess was that they were poaching and ran out of talent.”

People are being urged to report rural crime on 999 if it is happening, or call 101 if it is no longer happening or not an emergency.
