Guest Tidgy Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm due to move house in two weeks, the new house is having a new kitchen fitted from flooring to ceiling, right back to new plaster.we stripped out the old one last week and dumped all the stuff outside till the skip arives mid this week.one fo the items was a broken and battered washing machine, the power on off button had broken off and was rather tired looking. It was left behind some locked gates along with poiles of wood form the old cuboards and flooring.Some pikeys only gone a ripped the gate off its hinges to get to it and steal it. WTF is that all about do they realy think were gonna leave a decent washing machine out in the pooring rain and cold? If they nocked on the door when someone was there we even would have let them in to collect it without damaging the gate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Doc+ Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Probably wanted it for scrap.Best to just leave it on the kerb next time and let the scum help themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stealth- Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 We changed out hot water cylinder and left the old one at the back of the garage (which is at the back of the house about 50 meters away from the road)One guy walked through gates and tried to help himself to it until my golf club scarred him off. The cheek! I was amazed he manage to spot it from that distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agentsjj Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 They do the rounds openly round here and have no shame what so ever, I was washing the car out on the drive with garage door open, he spotted the large trees we have at the back of the garden, stopped and asked if I wanted them topping and trimming, I said no I like them as they are. Within the few seconds he spotted 2 old rads in my back garden and wanted to take them away, which was fine as I can't get them to the tip in either of our cars. But he spotted a set of strutts that I bought off Jason to replace the rears on mine and they were well inside the garage and wanted them too, I said don't take the pi$$ and sent him on his way.With copper at record price of $10,000 per ton they'll have your roof tiles off to get at your pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
