"Well, where it was found, a few inches below the top of the femur, it's consistent with the key in a trouser pocket." "So we did some very quick tests on the metal and we found chromium and chromium oxide, which explains the retarded corrosion." "We think it's stainless steel." "Earliest common usage of which was around 1917." "But if it is an ignition key, they weren't invented until 1949, and that was in America." "So this is '50s, earliest?" "If it is a car key." "So we're gonna get this down to a lab in Wapping." "They'll blast it with an X-ray source called a synchrotron, which, amongst many other things, cam illuminate traces of tooling obscured by the corrosion."

"So let's go back to the factory records." "We'll get the chassis number, the engine number..." "Even if the number plate was changed after it was stolen, we must be able to find it."

"Probably towed it in off the street, nobody claimed it." "Fairly common for stolen cars." "Why wouldn't they have returned it to the owner?" " Do you know when it was nicked?" " '75." "And the owner was never informed that it was found." "Human error, maybe?" "No computers back then." " Much harder to cross-reference things." " And what happened to it?" "Er, we kept it for spares till '91." "Then we sold it to a Steve Bennett." "Total restoration job by that stage." "Got his address here if you want it." "It was one of Dad's retirement projects."
