The bloody grua (tow truck) gets everywhere and turns up at the most inopportune times – like when you’ve left the car unattended for a moment to rush into the Post Office. But for sheer inconvenience, what about the couple who were in the throes of intimate cross-sex plumbing in the back of their van, when they noticed that not only the earth moved, but the van did as well.

They probably had more pressing things on their minds when they decided to park and jump into the back, so their choice of parking wasn’t optimum; in fact, they were blocking the traffic for larger vehicles. Before long, the Local Police where called to sort out the problem. They wrote out the ticket, summoned the grua and before you could say, “Squeeze that!,” the van was half way up onto the back of the grua.

Evidently, the banging noises and rocking of the van, caused by the grua operator, was missed by the occupants, because they probably put it down to their own joint efforts, but finally the angle of the van caught their attention.

Imagine the surprise of the policemen and the grua operator when a naked North-African gentleman jumped out of the back of the van – this took place in a central square of Granada (Plaza de Bibataubín).

The man was only outside the van for a moment – sufficient time in which to put into question the sexual availability of the policeman’s mother – before he jumped back into the precariously balanced vehicle and refused to get back out. In the meantime, the girlfriend had been trying to get dressed, which is difficult when the floor is at a 30º tilt, admittedly.

The outcome was inevitable, resulting in the man being arrested, the girlfriend ejected and the van carted off to the municipal compound.
