Yesterday we showed you a picture of the new E-Class Estate - one of Merc's most important cars of the year.
The budget is signed off, the car is ready and they've just spanked millions on a new advert - twisty roads, helicopter cams, mega driving shots, the full cheesy works.
Then some idiot removed the fuel cap.
Go to 1:10 on this video and take a look for yourself:
Oops. So what happened to it?
Maybe they took it for a spin through Longleat before the shoot, and the cap is now in the hands of a thieving pack of lemurs.
Or maybe some rednecks nicked it, to make into a swanky catflap for their trailer park home.
Your suggestions are welcome...

I do not understand burglars. No, I won't have the bonnet ornament, I won't have the Sat Nav, I'll have the fuel cap. I'm sure that will sell of squillions on the black market of Slough. Nobody has a fuel cap.

I never liked Merc estates... They never seem aerodynamic nor sporty, not even proportional. Best estates: Audi... =]

Certainly a few years ago the theft of a fuel cap (assuming its a lockable one, using the same key as the rest of the car) was usually indicative that you are about to have your car stollen! As the criminal now has in effect the locking mechanism for your pride and joy, and can therefore create a key etc. Saying that I doubt this is the issue here, some numpty probably put it on the roof while filling up!
