Answer 8

Ever heard 'It fell off of the back of a lorry'.

I drove lorries during one Summer holiday from Uni: If the lorry was loaded and the driver did not turn up and I took it out it was (not) surprising the amount of surplus goodies aboard.

Answer 9

They are parking up overnight,and leave their doors open so would be thieves can see they are empty and do not slash their curtains to see what is inside.

Answer 10

because a full lorry is a good target for a thief.

sure it could be filled with frozen peas... or it could have 5000 top of the range tv's stuffed in there.

if the back is open then thieves can see there is nothing of value inside.

Answer 11

they are amking sure that no one tries to nick the lorry because anyone can see it is empty and not worth stealing or breaking inot.
