Beware
« on: March 31, 2007, 08:27:33 pm »
Was waiting at a junction the other day and the rear door of my van was opened from the outside!
Both myself and my wife looked around and saw a yob looking in the back for something to steal,luckily nothing of any value was that far back in the van,and both of us yelling obscenites at full voulume made him decide to leg it,muttering in some Eastern european accent,so keep your doors locked.-John

Have to be alert at all times.  I remember about a year ago after just finishing a car valeting job, was just loading my vehicle back up with the equipment.
The customer had some large trees at the end of his driveway, so in between loading I was unable to keep my eye on vehicle at the same time.  As I was walking up driveway to load some more stuff,  I could hear another vehicle slowing down to a stop, then as I apeared in front of trees,  These two guys in a rusty beaten up old white van were eyeing my stuff up, the driver looked up at me, smiled and drove off.

HQ,
don't you have a reverse gear on your van? It would be my first instinct  ;D
