I could, but without being 100% sure, I would say that they don't. It's not normal here in Sweden to have camera surveillance on private property. You'd need a special license for that, which is not that easy to get (AFAIK)...

I know that feeling too.
I brought my car in for service and when I got it back in the evening for a huge amount of €.....I mentioned quite a lower fuelmeter (filled 100% that morning, was less than 50% in the evening).
So someone used my car for any reason without knowing why. And remember: They dont drive about 300 km in the garage with my car.
Since then I allways check my car and make a picture of the meters on the dashboard.
One or two returns later I had a problem with a rented car. They claimed I drove over 100 kilometer while back and forth to work was less than 20. So if I rent a car when my car gets fixed. Pictures are made. The only way to prove......
Sometimes they claim they had the rented car 100% fueled up and than I show picture that it was 75%. You should see their eyes. No more problems since that picture...

Perfect!
Gotta start doing that. That is at least something that's manageable.
A couple of months ago I was parked in a parking lot, and I noticed a white car parked next to me. When I get back to my car, the white car is gone, but somehow, the left corner of my rear bumper is crushed and torn apart, and there's white paint on it. And no explanation note on my car of course.
At that point, I was so pissed at myself for not having taken note of the license plates of the cars next to mine. Of course, you don't do that, because it would be a lot of work if you had to do that every time you park.
But with the current state of affairs, you really ought to do so...

Nowadays dealers write down the mileage shown by the odometer when the car comes in, and when it leaves. It's on all of my recent receipts.

Well - there's the option of taking them to small claims court. Are they willing to miss the day's pay over the cost? You've got the same decision to make, but they may decide to pay up when they get the summons.
Don't forget to (1) have the cost of the repair, and (2) the cost of the summons, and (3) lost time's value for the new repair all itemized.
Kind of a shot across the bow: settle up or it could cost you (50/50 split in court).

Is it Victory, as in Victor and Tory?

Nope, but your on the right track. Half right

OK Thanks, if I'm honest I'm glad I only got it half right, I wouldn't have a clue, pun intended, on posting Mondays one.

Go on and challenge yourself... But sometimes it is harder to think of than solve.
Generally I work backwards making them. Think a word and go from there
|
|

based on OP's post I think
HISTORY
But its little tricky to fit the word.
Old Man's = His
conservative politics = Tory
Traditional = History
cheers,

if you have stated "Old mans conservative politics" then it would have been tad easy...

The traditional and conservative actually came from Wikipedia definition, but in hindsight yes, you're right.

I've now been using Visual Studio 2015 release for over a day. I love many of the new features, but I'm finding a serious bug about every half hour, including the IDE crashing due to a cut and paste. I was willing to put up with all of this, but Native Unit Tests now take a really long time to discover and then run. Just now, it took fifteen minutes to run, modify and run a single unit test three times. I finally gave up and went back to Visual Studio 2013.
How did this product ever get released?
If this is any indication of the quality of the upcoming Windows 10 release, I'll give a pass on it as well.

I went from 2008 to 2015 cause of that 64bit E&C.
What a slow over bloated - oh my gosh. I wasn't part of the slow creep of bloat so I was shocked. What'ya mean "preparing to start"? I have elephanting work to do.
And it won't load on XP but my product project does so:

2008 is a speedboat compared to 2010 and later cruise ships. The latter will get you there in comfort, but take a while to do so. Right now, though, 2015 is looking more like the Costa Concordia.

That's a good analogy. I felt like I was floating on a sea of .NET? or Java?
It a real nice text editor and compiler for cryin' out loud.

Probably some borked library on your machine...
I am waiting until windows 10 comes out, then fresh install it and VS2015......

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Microsoft Product Testing.
The rules are simple:
1) Ignore existing bug reports - added features are much more profitable. It costs money to fix bugs!
2) Ignore beta tester comments - they didn't pay for the product, so what do they know?
3) All release categories are at least one step to the left of those in the rest of the world.
MS Name Real world name
Beta It compiles!
RC Alpha
RTM Beta
SP1 RTM
It's been this way since the DOS days, and they never listen.
I sometimes think their QA department consists of two copies of ELIZA and a tree sloth...

[Re MS QA department]
What does the tree sloth do?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
