Bloody pikeys
Having a random day off,garage door open,i'm in the back cutting the grass when a strange irishman comes through the garage asking if i've
got any scrap as his mate is rooting through the back of my pickup rangerover on the drive! I tried to be ok with them as they're eying up the
sr20det and imp engine on the floor as well as the thousands of pounds worth of tools in there,and gave them an old battery in the hope they dont
decide to give me a visit when i'm not in.
Cheeky nosey b*stards!
rant over!

Just be glad they don't use computers or all your 'stuff' would be logged on a huge "to be pinched" computer data base,
fortunately going by that Gypsy wedding program most don’t even read

Never realised they came round here,i'm normally working!salt in the wound is they've bought a field about a mile away,hardcored it and
stuck afew vans on it.about 500yards from my mates small holding that he's been trying to get a small caravan site on for over 10years,but
cant,not cause of neighbours,the gypo's are the closest now,because its greenbelt.wasn't unduly worried with the theory they wont crap on
they're own doorstep but now i'm not so sure!

Give the mnothing mate.
You do they will only come back and ask for more.
I bloody hate them.
If I die, my biggest fear is that my wife sells all my toys for the price I told her I bought them for...

My parents got paid a visit a fortnight ago. They knocked on the front door and asked if they had any old metal to which they were told we
didn't, then no. 2 piped up from behind the main man and asked "what about them scaf poles round the back?"
Very interesting, since you can't see them from any of the neighbours gardens - they'd obviously recce'd the grounds previously.
Needless to say, anything that wasn't bolted to the floor or part of the house then got moved to the garage, uprated padlocks, and police were
called with a vehicle reg.
Makes my blood boil, especially if you catch them on your property you're pretty much powerless to move them on! They say an Englishman's
home is his castle, but it's obviously just a pikey's playground....
Rant over, for today at least.

They just think they can take anything thats not nailed down. Don't entertain them, never leave your garage open when your not around. All
they do is steal, destroy and then bugger off leaving a shithole behind. Thankfully I live in an industrial area so not many houses and nobody
hanging around keeping an eye on what I might be doing.
It's not that i'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.....

ditto all the above, they are everywhere. Whenever we pull out a kitchen, where ever it is, pikeys will be round before lunch asking for scrap.

I like your thinking.
Don't give them anything, I really don't understand why anyone would.

What we need to do is get 70 or 80 people together and walk onto a pikey site and ask if they have any scrap - like any old caravans for example

Would be even better when we specified some metal they had hidden away after they told us to fup off!
