It could be the start of an Irish joke, but 3AW’S breakfast powerhouse Ross Stevenson isn’t laughing — yet.

Stevenson is pondering the possibility he accidentally gave his hire car keys to an opportunistic thief at Dublin Airport earlier this month.

Ross Stevenson was holidaying with family in Ireland when the incident took place.

Stevenson and his family holidayed in the Emerald Isle and dropped their hire car at the airport as they headed back to Australia.

“We got an email about four days later from the hire car company saying, ‘Where is the car? It is four days overdue,” Stevenson said.

He replied that it had been returned and was parked in a particular bay.

“There was a guy driving a Hertz van and there were about five guys in the car and we asked them for a lift and they said, ‘No, we are full,’ and I said, ‘Where do we return the keys?’ and he said, ‘I will handle that for you’.

“I handed the keys to this bloke then when Hertz asked where is the car, I thought, “Oh my God.

“So I am currently waiting to hear from them as to whether I gave the keys to an authorised representative of Hertz or whether I have given them to some bloke who has stolen the car.”
