Ex-Oxford man's bid to atone for 'sin' committed 50 years ago
A LIFETIME of “bad karma” has prompted an Oxford man to atone for a sin he committed half a century ago in the style of hit TV show My Name is Earl. Arthur Edmond-Jones was living in Bracegirdle Road, Wood Farm, Oxford, in 1958 when he took a neighbour’s car without her consent and drove it, without oil, to Cambridge. The vehicle seized and the 16-year-old left it on the side of the road. He told the owner but did nothing to compensate her or retrieve the stricken car. Since then, a catalogue of misfortune has dogged Mr Edmond-Jones, from the California to New Zealand.
