Jingle,

That reminds me about when I got my car back from the mechanic once. Every time I made a left turn there was a very loud squawking-chirping noise coming from the left hand side of the dashboard. I thought there was a cricket or some other insect stuck in the air vent.

When I got home I checked in the air vent with the torch, couldn't see anything, so I checked the glovebox. The push button personal alarm I had in there - forgotten it was there - was lying in a position so that every time I went left it pushed the button. I had told the mechanic that the part which needed to be replaced was in the glovebox so he had moved everything around to find it.
