ON September 11 my husband and I went shopping in Chippenham, parking by the river at the side of Argos. 
We returned to our car (which is new with keyless entry) to find two ladies standing between our car and their 4x4. They asked if this was our car. 
My first thought was that someone had damaged it. It seems we had started the engine instead of locking the car. 
It was sat in the car park with the engine running and doors unlocked. My husband has hearing problems and didn’t hear it. 
We are so grateful to these ladies who stayed with the car and were calling the police as we arrived. There really are some lovely people around. 
Thank you ladies for staying till we returned. It is a mistake we won’t make again.
