Title: What is the world coming too ?
Post by rich1 on Nov 29^th, 2012, 9:28pm

I had to hire a transit van for a week or so to shift some stuff about (including very sadly clearing out remaining stock from our adult shop in peterborough:-( ) , anyway , had it parked outside my house last night , woke up this morning to find some toe rag had nicked it , unbelivable !! , brand new transit van , i had the key so god knows how they pinched it . No glass anywhere so they didnt smash a window to get in , luckily im friendly with the owner of the hire place so they were pretty good about it . But left a few bits and bobs of mine in the van , ie bluetooth , charger etc etc . Very annoying , just once id love to catch these scum bags in the act and give en a proper good hiding , who ever nicked it , i hope they crash and die a slow and painful death >:(

Not good. I'm a wee bit more fortunate because living in the far North of Scotland it's too cold and wet for scumbags! Although a mate of mine caught a fella dragging a nail across the roof of his Cortina many years ago. He gave the fella a real good hiding and then dragged him to the local cop-shop. The duty cop asked what happened, and my mate said it was self-defence! Surprisingly got away with that. However, the vandal was only given 160 hrs community service and he couldn't afford to pay my mate back for the damage. So a good hiding is always best I'd say! :P

Did he get any adult goods with the van Rich ?if so he is perhaps still trying to understand what they are ::),maybe an extra large 500volt vibrator introduced to his posterior may teach him. Was it a plain white van ? they are the best pinch only needing false plates for a clear run past Elderly William 8).A few years ago I came out of the digs at four in the morning in Kidbrooke to find the lorry complete with ten tons of spuds had gone from the station yard,felt a bit lonely standing there with just my bag ::)

re the subjec title ................

In a single word SH!T :(

This is exactly why I semi retired to N/W Scotland....................

A couple of years ago I did a gig in a pub locally, like a twit I left a laptop on the table outside the pub.
Went in and had a late drink with the owner, came out 3 hours later, Laptop still exactly where I left it :)

Couldn't have done that down South ;)

These @rse holes really do deserve a good hiding >:(

Cheers Dave

Aye Dave. But the real reason no-one pinched yer laptop was, they knew if you found out who did it you'd hogtie them and string a line from the back of the boat and drag them up and down the Loch a few times at 50 knots !!! :D

No gozz van was empty apart from my personnel belongings , had to buy another bluetooth today although saying that i lose so many of the things its nothing new !!! It wasnt a plain van it had SIXT written on it , had the police phone me tonight , they want to come round sunday to take a statement , only 5 days after the event ! I said to the copper its probably half way round the world by now . Was informed by the old bill that there has been over 20 (yes 20) transit vans stolen in essex in the last 2 weeks alone , they said they are concentrating on the case now , better late than never isuppose ,but should it take a spate of thefts for themto get they're harris's into gear ?? And yes i know they have more important things to do , i saw 15 of them pouncing on motorists on lower rd and jamica rd (bermondsey)today :-)
