Poirot and the Case of the flat battery

[Tinonline]

Not driving much at the moment and from memory, the Battery can take this.

But, mes amis, went to turn it over and not a flicker.

Removed the Battery in quick order - it’s less than a year old Lexus one…charged it up over night.

I recall my wife saying maybe it was an internal light but I’d not taken any weight to this. 
On reconnecting I sat in the drivers seat…oh the rear off side cabin lights wouldn’t go off…what? Shut the drivers door again and restarted…same. 

Went around to the offending side and pressed the internal light button…started over again. All good.

Under cross examination in the living room I found the last person to drive the car was my wife…ah Hastings…the reference to the internal light. Now the confession…wife is looking after/nanny to a neighbours little girl who fiddles with every switch and button….

Therefore that little thing in all innocence, pressed the internal light button and that flattened the Battery.

The driver’s responsibility mes amis, was to check the vehicle on lock down. Like the Conservative party…procedures were not followed.

Right…
