Ladders Stolen!
« on: November 14, 2011, 02:49:15 pm »
Can't believe some B*stard has knicked a set of ladders off the van roof last night out side house!
not that they get much use these days but always come handy for some jobs. Cheeky twats!

Police not much help, she asked if I'd been a victim of any other crimes recently, so I did say I'd been robbed in the pub last Saturday Night, oh yes she asked 'did you report the crime' yes i said, to the landlord, his prices are daylight robbery! made her laugh, just before she said don't hold your breath over the return of your ladders tho.

Oh well lesson learned, get that bloody lock out of the garage and back on ladders on the roof!

Thanks Guys,
had already done that, took dog out today and looked all around estate, no joy!

Had a good result tho........
Thought I'd have a quick look on Ebay & Gumtree, you never know some people are so stupid, thought might have put straight on-line to sell them..... Never found them but did find a 'Brand New' Never used 'still wrapped' set on Gumtree for £15. went and got them straight away! RESULT! Guess everything happens for a reason.

Now securely padlocked to roof of van with an Oxford lock, if they get through that they're welcome to them, LOL.

Gotta love on-line bargains.....

I had someone try to bend the hook on my ladder clamp a while back but they didn't get it off. They must have used a screwdriver or something. I've got a security light outside my house now.

A bigger screwdriver and they would have had it off. Those clamps aren't that secure.
