Jim Hobbs 2006
Occupation: Mechanic/Owner of Upwey Motors

Having been kidnapped by her psychotic ex-boyfriend, Robert Robinson, Katya Kinski was relieved when he stopped for supplies at a country garage. As Robert filled the campervan with petrol, Katya quietly tried to explain to the mechanic, Jim Hobbs, that she had been kidnapped and he had to call the police. When Robert then walked in, Katya quickly covered, saying that she needed help to find soya milk and ginseng, before writing ‘HELP!’ on the credit card receipt. Unfortunately, Jim didn’t notice and handed the receipt over to Robert, who later read it and decided that Katya couldn’t be trusted, so he drugged her and tied her up.
