Can anyone unlock this mystery?
READERS have responded to a story published in yesterday’s JEP about strange happenings in St Ouen.
It might have sounded more like a case for Dr Who, but it was the honorary police who were called on to solve the mystery of the unlockable cars.
Nine years after the Millennium bug went off like a damp squib, the New Year left a number of residents of a small enclave in deepest St Ouen suffering a technological hangover. They woke up one day to find that they were unable either to open or to close their cars with their electronic keys. No matter what they attempted, it seemed that something was jamming the signals.
The matter was especially serious for those who did not also have a conventional key. Many of them found that they were unable to lock — or unlock — their vehicles. One of those affected was John King. He said: ‘This situation lasted for several days, despite intensive research in the neighbourhood, and the kind co-operation of the St Ouen honorary police. Then, all of a sudden, the problem just disappeared, and all the electronic opening devices were working again.’
Glad though they are that the electronic keys are back in business, the residents of what may become known as the Millais Triangle are still scratching their heads. Mr King suggested that a phone mast might have been to blame, or even a Christmas present turned on for the first time. ‘The honorary police were very helpful and have been round to speak to many households. They say that they have never come across it anywhere else.’ (from thisisjersey)
