If you park your lease Mercedes in the wrong spot in a city centre these days, it'll be towed away and crushed before you can say "It was an emergency, erm... I only had 2 minutes left to get a lottery ticket."
However, if you want to guarantee a good length of time between parking and crushing, it seems the best place to park is deep in a pillar in a French tunnel (come on, remember tragedy + time = comedy. I'm also banking on nobody actually owning up to being a shameless bandwagon Diana grief indulger. Out of the thousands of TV mourners who suddenly stopped slagging her off and decided they really really liked her now she was dead, I've never met one in person, have you?)
Yes, the vehicle at the centre of the most talked about tragedy of the 90s - Diana's Mercedes S-280 - is finally to be crushed now that the inquest into her death has ended over 10 years after the terrible events.
