Detlef Jenkins wound up being sent to prison for four years and the car sat for more than three months outside the courthouse in Kilmarnock, The Scotsman reported. Then the Vauxhall Omega was towed and converted to scrap metal in a crusher. Advertisement The Vauxhall had been given a parking citation almost immediately after the initial hour expired, followed by another one later. When its tax disc expired, the car was booted. A Strathclyde police spokeswoman said police made efforts to find Jenkins' relatives before towing the car. Jenkins pleaded guilty to holding up the Mosset Tavern in Forres, where he lived, with another man in December 2006.
