I have had a couple of A frame ladders stolen in the last couple of month, when on my way to a job today I spotted my ladders on the roof of a car, so i pulled over the driver and there they were "My ladders". How do i know this, coz i recentley put new feet on them and had to cut them to size. And what makes it worse it is a  lad who had them talks to me on this forum, Cheeky Git!!!! another reason i know is that he told me his name, he is a local window cleaner in my home town, and to top it off iv spoke to him on here and helped him out no end and thats the way he repays me!!!!
He should be banned off the forum for this kind of behaviour, but if he's not i will be longer using this forum.

Look, i genuinely did not know they were STOLEN!!!!!

The lad who sold them to me, told me he was getting rid of them cos he was packing the job in.

Do you think if i knew they were stolen that i would of drove round the town with them on? Its a bit like stealing my neighbours garden ornament and putting it in my garden.  

you may think im stupid, but im not that stupid

i could of told you all this today, but you didnt give me the chance. Which is understandable.

Ryan, if what you say is true you will go to the police with Eric and report the theft.

[Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle]

no need for police cos i was there today and they let me go without charge

Ryan, if what you say is true you will go to the police with Eric and report the theft.

I would be very careful with this name and shame stuff unless you can prove that it was him who actually stole your ladders you could end up in a whole lot of trouble, slander I guess etc etc, thing is the chap could of brought them from a local paper, a guy in the pub or an ad in the local paper and he might be a victim as much as you.

Did you go there with Eric though?? You need to inform Eric and the Police where the thief live. If you can't do that it doesnt look very good for you

Many years ago when i worked for OCS we had a ladder stolen after a few months we spotted it on a building site so the boss reported it to the police and they did not want to know, they said they couldn't prove that the builder had stolen it and he might of bought them from someone and therefore there was nothing they could do despite the fact the ladder was stamped with a serial number and had OCS carved into the wood on both sides of the ladder!

[Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle]

didnt go with Eric [gaz]

he phoned them at the side of the road, and i waited for them to turn up, as i had nothing to hide.
two vans &  T5, you woulda thought i had commited a murder

[george formby]

yes that was over the top a face to face apology would be nice

[actualcleaning]

Whats wrong with giving the bloke the benefit of the doubt?
Pretty hard to believe he would come on the forum and own up to the fact that he might have your ladders....after all you say they were yours but he in all probability didn't know that.Give the lad a chance,seems like you jumped straight in with the accusations.

[Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle]

will call in the office next week if you want.

[R W C™]

Eric when you pulled him over did your start kicking off or did you ask where he got the ladder from, if someone started giving it to me and accusing me I too wouldnt appologise,
