Police are still investigating how a 1.3 tonne car ended up perched on the roof of a bus shelter in a small town in Finist猫re, Brittany.
There have been plenty of suggestions by some of the 2,200 residents of Ploun茅venter including the settling of scores, a prank - or even an art project - after the car was spotted early on Monday morning.

Officers published this humorous facebook post in a bid to solve the mystery.

Philippe H茅raud, the mayor of the town, is expected to file a complaint for damage to property and endangering others.
