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? There is a neighbour across the road who has a CCTV and the police are investigating now, but the vehicle is stolen sadly. This individual is known to the police by description, and his method. Thats all the police will say. Where to get tyres is top of my list now. The price is mad as well with callout charges. Good to have neighbours, we are taking my wheels to a tyrefitting sevice, but Reikha's car is going to a recovery service and hopefully the insurance will sort it today. What a bloody mess. It couldn't come at a worse time financially. With the bodywork damage it is almost certain both cars will be written off. While I have been writing this the insurance company have allocated us courtsey cars and to wait for confirmation of the details. So its wheels back on. Can it be so easy? I hope so, Reikha has been on the phone all morning so far. I wonder how this is going to affect our policies, money wise next renewal. I dare not think about it. What a mess. Again while writing, a neighbour has had "foul" put through his letterbox last night or early this morning. Disgusting. The police are taking this more seriously now. Baz Vote for the BNP! We have had too many years of liberals and socialiasts. |
