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. Baz What a horrible thing to happen. It's only upside is that the police have his reg.no. and know he's operating in your area. CCTV camera installation, perhaps? We have had tyres slashed too. Our new car has no spare wheel just a sophisticated puncture outfit made for holes less than 3mm. I spotted this after I had bought the car. The salesman said a survey had shown that customers didn't need a spare wheel anymore! !! What utter madness. When I picked up a horseshoe nail in one tyre, I certainly needed a spare. I've had 3 puncture altogether with this car, having never had one in my life before! Both our cars have a spacesaver which is a wheel with a very basic tyre, just enough to get out of trouble I hear. I might be wrong but OH(Ford Focus) car has self inflating wheels which as the name suggests inflates the tyre after a puncture. Like you Sacha I have never had a puncture, but when needed.... Baz |
