Thieving little villains

[Paul.M]

The mother in-law is on holiday in Australia for a month visiting family and the wife is going around every day to feed the cat and check the house is ok etc.

On Saturday night whilst at her mothers the wife phoned me saying that the garden has been broken into and all of the fish pond gear has been stolen! Filtration system, pumps, heaters and they even took the bloody garden lights from around the pond!

Did the scumy little ********'s unplug everything or disconnect the numerous pipes? Of course they didn't, they just ragged it out using brute force. IP socket box ripped off the wall with broken socket showing live conductors close to the wet grass. Buried pipes pulled up from the ground taking some plants with it, not a big deal I know but she loves her garden and puts in a lot of time and effort into it (family home for 30 years).

Police not interested unless we find foot prints or blood at the scene so on Saturday night I could only make safe.

Sunday in the light of day what a mess they have made! Stolen about £500 worth of gear + about £100 in damaged pipes (have to be replaced) + at least 2 days work for a sparky to re-install due to cable damage as it comes from the ground (needed renewing anyway but that's not the point). Spent most of Sunday fitting IP socket boxes, new heater so the fish don't freeze and I put up 3 security lights covering the full length of the garden. Not the way I wanted to spend my day off and of course its all free of charge lol.

Not a nice thing to come home to after a month away, she is going to go mental when she sees it.

I think you've just invented a new internet three letter acronym - TLV!

Originally it would have been "TLB" but I had to ask the mods to change the title incase someone got offended. I don't want to get band again . Thanks for doing that Marvo.

A similar thing involved a friend of mine who parked his van in the car park of a social club in the Sunderland area.

A little toerag appeared & asked him for money "to look after your van". My friend pointed to the dog that he's left sitting in the driving seat at which point he toerag asked: "Is he any good at putting fires out?"

Security firms now patrol the cars parked round some of the bigger football grounds Personaly I feel this is doing wee ned entrepuner ouut of a job and teaching him the responcablity of working for money IE "ill look after your motor for ten bob MR!" he( mr ned boy) was out there all weathers watching your car so no other neds attacked said motor and on your return after watching your team win your car was there same condition as you left it Security firms have done this wee guy of not only a job but they have forced him to go steal from other sources leading to his being put in jail and not being able to support Kylie and her 3 children It will also make him feel worthless and unemployable leading him to claim benefits for years to come

another thing that you dont see now due to government ,and theiving scumbags causing regulations to be brought in are the gadgies who hail,rain shine were out with their shopping trolleys going round the skips,sites taking the scrap cuttings that were thrown out or collecting the Glass Cheque ( returnable pop bottles ) Hence leading to them now selling the big issueeeeeeeeeeeee or theiving AAAAAAAAAAAAAA the good old days

other things which have lead to problems are the stopping of Police clipping you round the lug (short sharp and painfull ) instead they have to lift you fill in triplicate paperwork take the day to go to court alll eating into time money that could be better spent
