They blew up a suspect vehicle that seemed to be abandoned near the gate of Camp Bastion while I was in Afghan, and it turned out to belong to the family of some little kid who had been injured by an IED and was being treated in the hospital.
There was an almighty hoo-ha about it, and the army ended up buying the family a brand new people-carrier to keep them sweet.
Once the word got round, we were plagued by people parking their clapped-out Toyota Corollas near the gate in the hope they'd be given a new one.
