Dony Ryding was caught red-handed smoking a cigar after he told his wife, Julie that he had quit. His dishonestly was caught by Google Streetview.
Donny told Julie that he quit smoking and eating healthy food following his heart attack. However, she became suspicious when she found biscuits in the cabbie’s car while she was cleaning it out.
She said: “I cleaned his car out for him and I found loads of Hobnob biscuits in there. I confronted him and he denied it and he wouldn’t admit to (eating them).
“He stormed out of the house and then later that day we’d heard that the street view camera was driving around.
"When I checked it online I couldn’t believe it - there was no denying it now we’d seen (him smoking).”
Julie added: “When Streetview first launched they didn’t blur out faces, but there was no need to with him - he was covered by a cloud of smoke anyway."
She added: “Since it happened we’ve called it Hobnob day and whenever the family gets together we laugh and joke about it. He did sleep on the couch that night but he took it all in good spirits and we joke about it now at family parties.”
