   Only if you drive a four/four ... My friend shut her dog in the boot  and   
   someone reported her to the police and they where waiting for her when she   
   got back home ... They didn't know that there was a gap in the backrest and   
   the dog got trough to the seat ..if its been written here then it must be   
   true ..eh .... IT IS NOT TRUE  LET ME TELL YOU ....  a crate  will be used   
   by people with a car that suits it ,not in the boot for gaws sake ..what are   
   you like over there ...totally mad ? I for one would go ballistic if I ever   
   saw that ..
