During the troubles, any car left parked in some random spot was often treated as a security alert. Eg - One day, our car broke down on our way home from a family holiday and it wouldn't start again. We had to leave it (on the hard shoulder on the road from Newry to Warrenpoint) and get a taxi home. Once we got home, Dad phoned the police to let them know about the car and that it was nothing for them or the army (who regularly carried out patrols) to be concerned about and that he would get it towed to a garage the next morning.
