Default How bad is bad?

Yesterday the OH and me were in the front garden doing some weeding
when a chap came to me, treading on plants and with a dodgy attitude
asked if I wanted him to fix my roof! I said there is nothing wrong
with the roof and if there was I could fix it. He went on to ask if I
wanted the garden digging! Then did I want the plastic window frames
cleaning! He wouldn't take no for an answer.
Unknown to me the OH recognised him from last year when he was
stealing wheelie bins and rang the police. While undesired man and me
were talking OH passed me the phone out of the window and was
surprised to be talking to the police(as I didn't know she had rang
them). I quickly got the gist and gave them a reg. no. of a pickup
truck which I thought must have been his, he ran off immediatly.

6.30 this morning we were going out for the day. No chance. 8 slashed
tyres and DEEP scratches to the bodywork of our cars.

I feel like giving in! For F**ks sake. We both have to go to work
tomorrow.
