Bl**dy Thieving Gi*s

just been out to get the dif so that i could start cleaning it up tonight and it been stolen!!! AARGHHHHHHHH

it’s been out on the drive with the engine and gearbox under a roped up tarp behind the wheelie bins for over 6months without even being touched.

AARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What pikey would want an old dirty sierra dif. There was a Suzuki bike engine out there that i wouldn’t have minded if they had nicked.

wakners

the most frustrating part is that it most likely been taken to weigh in as scrap for a meek £5.

get the other bits safe,
you know the little shits will be back,
i dont know anyone with a spear diff,
il have an ask around

We recently bought a new dishwasher, as i took the old one out i put it staight in front of the garage door.I went back in the house to wipe the floor, then went out to get the pipe off it and it had gone. I was going to put the thing on Freecyle for some less fortunate person. The thing is I had a scafold pole outsie for six months and they never took it because it was too long for the truck.

My sympathies. Some so and so knicked my trolley jack which was a pain as I had to get a new one.
One of the rag and bone lot came along and took the old cooker we marked up for them, but also helped them selves to my alloy frame bike that was covered up further up the drive and a few neighbours' kids bikes. They left the rusty steel frame bike that was on top of the ally bike mind.

go out and hook the rest up to the mains for when they do come back the little fuckers!

This sxhit is so annoying.

A few months ago I trailered a green house dismantled, for 130 miles. Left it in the trailer over night as it was late and some scummos nicked 6 lengths of thin angled ally.
Inspector wifey rang up the nearest scrappy who said yes someone has brought in a few lengths of taped together ally. He told her to come round and let her take it. Only problem was they had started to cut it up, so green house is unusable. The subhuman types couldnt have got more than a £1 for it.
The only possible good outcome of this was that the scrappy said he knew who it was, he wouldnt tell us but said he would "sort it" whatever that may mean

Leicestershire theme?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RAG AND BONER MEN A BIT LIKE SANTA.

Don't invite anyone you don't know round in any way

Theiving pikey took my trolley jack too, found him and took it back, we exchanged words

scum. I had a copper water cylinder pinched from my garden.

we had a fridge remoived from our front garden that had been there for months (we were having an extension and it was hidden behind the hedge so it wasnt that bad!) why would anyone nick a fridge? can you get money for them?

I had to get rid off a car tyre, rather than pay displosal fee at tyre change place , I left it ouside my house.

Within a couple of days it had gone - I relied on the fact that there was a pub nearby to ensure its disappearance.

Now that the pib has burnt down, it probably wouldn't work now.

We had a grotty green carpet that I had used on the gargae floor while building the car took it out rolled it up and left it on the drive. It was covered in swarf, silkaflex, oil, rusty water from the cooling system etc.

2 days later it was gone. Saved me having to take it to the tip. Didint mind that one the one that racked me off was when the pikeys nicked the exhuast from the sierra that I had left lying over the roof of the scrap shell problem was I hadnt taken the lambda sensor off it GRRRR

I've only had my rusty & holed old trailer stolen from my garden, saving me from taking it to the scrappy. Hopefully the never tried to use it

We recently bought a new washing machine and I plumbed it in. I then put the old one in front of the garage doors as I planned to take it the tip when I got back, lo and behold when I got back it had gone.....saved me a job but I live at the end of a close right in the corner of a small drive with 2 other houses before mine!!

Makes you think do they come round everyday and look for stuff or was it just a one off

there was a story about someone in US wanting to give away a freezer or dishwasher so put it on his drive with sign saying " free dishwasher, working order".

weeks went by and it was still there

then changed the label "dishwasher for sale $ 20" and it was gone by the next day

Got me thinking.....I've got some alloys I need to get rid of and really can't be arsed to go to the tip!

Weigh them in - not sure what the current prices are but last time I weighed some alloys in got about £1/kg (without the tyres on obviously).

Someone came down the drive near my garage looking from scrap metal and tried to take my workbench from right outside my garage doors- despite the fact that it was clearly in use with a great big bit of metal angle on it that I was halfway through chopping. Probably wanted the angle as much as the workbench.

I explained in my best anglo saxon that I was quite attached to my workbench and unless he fancied an angle grinder vasectomy he was best to leave it alone.

He didn't look best pleased. Bizarre thing was that he seemed rather surprised that I was going to let him take a workbench I quite clearly still had use for!!
