Skip Rats
What is about these idiots. A guy knocks on the door says can I have the scrap shower doors out of your skip.
Customer says yes. He proceeds to smash the glass on the lawn and just takes the alloy frame.
He clears off before he is spotted.
Similar experience happened at another customers house. This time he drags the screen across the driveway leaving a gouge in the driveway. Takes it
to the roadside and smashes the glass on the pavement.Again just takes the frame.
What planet are they from?

Pikeys after the scrap ali.
After all 50p is 50p. 
Nothing wrong with being a skip rat.
I once asked a guy if I could have a couple of painted wooden boxes out of his skip to make tool boxes.
Turned out to be a pair of Vitavox Bi-Tone speakers and they worked, oh did they work, awesome.
Then found out the were worth about £4/6K new.
Oh happy day-ay-ays.
And I've still go them. never heard bass like it. They shake your insides.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

skill of hearing them pull up in the street,the old flatbed trannys probably running on red and uninsured etc have a distinctive note!!

I have noticed that recently there are loads of pikeys coming around collecting scrap metal door to door, it is made even more annoying by there
tannoy calling out for all kinds of scrap metal wanted at all times of day.I wondered if this is anything to do with the new laws where you have to
give ID and source of scrap metal that you weigh in,if you go around and collect some legit door to door what is to say that the rest of it is not
collected legit?.I also thought that you have to have a licence to collect fridges, to ensure correct handling of refrigerants but it seems these
pikeys are happy to take any fridges that come there way.

The fridges issue really annoys me, to get rid of properly as trade waste is over £50, you just know they will cut the pump out to weigh in and flytip
the rest.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

The b@stards nicked my brother in law's radiator as it was draining on the yard while he was modifying the kitchen and they took a Corsa axle
off my daughter's back garden which we wanted the brakes off of. I saw one the other day with a new looking aluminium boat trailer with wheels
and mudguards still fitted thrown on top of a load of other garden tools, must have cost someone the thick end of £1000 and probably going to be
weighed in for a fifth of that.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I wasn't quick enough as it was driving past the junction outside our house and you don't get a good view of the front and rear for very
long. There was a gang of totters operating round here coming from Sheffield who were caught and fined for stealing as the council were renovating
houses on the estate behind us and had removed satellite dishes while painting which the scrap collectors duly loaded up and removed without
permission.

Sorry to say, but you would be wasting a phone call and your breath.... cops are not the least bit interested, certainly not round our way.
If you caught them red handed, tied them up and delivered them to the police station personally the cops might be just take an interest..... you would
probably get arrested for assault and racialism.

No doubt about it. You WOULD be arrested and charged for false imprisonment. A friend caught 2 "persons" nicking his horse box, locked one
in the garage, knocked the other out and tried him up, put him in the garage with the other "person" and tied them together. He was
arrested and charged with false imprisonment. He did not have to do any jail time but that was due to a very good and expensive lawyer but did end up
with a criminal record.
My uncle who is a contract farmer decided to drive past a field where some of his workers had been working and saw one of his tractors on the back of
a lorry, stuck in the gateway, he called the Police who asked what they wanted him to do. "Arrest them for nicking my tractor"
"can't do that sir as technically they have not stolen the tractor until they get it on the road." So my uncle said he would deal
with it, went to the pub got a load of guys to give him a hand, told "travelling persons" to go forth, yes they had remained as they knew
they could not be arrested as they know the law better than most, after they had gone away, rather than face the wrath of stronger opposition, the
tractor was unloaded and used to tow away the lorry as it was blocking his right of way and I believe the lorry was cut up and sold as scrap as the
vehicle was not registered to anyone and had not been reported as stolen. The plus side of the incident was that the "no fixed abode"
people that had been in the area about the same time as other stuff had started to go missing ,moved on and the incidents of crime seem to drop
considerably.
Wish it was always so easy to deal with scumbags of any type but unfortunately the law never seems to be on the side of those who decide to abide by
the laws of society and always support those who's rights have to be protected by the Liberal do gooders that seem to make up the European laws
that plague the rest of us.
I would hasten to add it is not the fault of the Police as they are doing a difficult enough job without having their hands tied by such an unjust
legal system as I am sure many of them would like to deal with situations in the same way as many of us would like to but are shackled by a
restrictive legal system.

It's a shame there aren't more "honest robbers" around then everyone would be happy, even the victims could laugh and say
"at least they were honest robbers like Ronnie Biggs and those good old East end lads the Kray brothers, at least we could always leave our
doors unlocked and you neighbours would always lend you a cup of sugar" Ahh the good old days where even crime was better.
