Bold Lane: Your car is safe with us

The Bold Lane multi-storey, with spaces for 440 cars, has not seen one theft or case of vandalism in six years.

And that makes it unique in the UK, according to its designer, Ken Wigley.

Other top 10 entries include the bank vault at Fort Knox, the US president's plane Air Force One and deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's Baghdad bunker.

Mr Wigley, an agricultural engineer, began working on the design after his car window was smashed and stereo stolen while parked in an airport car park.

Smart stuff

And turnover for the multi-storey has risen from £87,000 in 1997 to £531,219 in 2002.

Smart stuff."
