P.C. Able and P.C. Melvin with the horse.
Turnham wants a name from Cathy but annoys her by whistling and then asks Reg who he thinks the suspect is. Cathy is rude to Roach later but he makes her feel better after talking to her. Able and Melvin see a rag and bone cart trotting down the road without a driver. Penny thinks the owner is in the pub. A man fitting the owner's description is found beaten. Reg stops a bloke parked on double yellow line who can't restart his newly purchased second hand car. The man later goes around to his friend who sold him the car and breaks his front window.
