English archer Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thieves really will take anything nowadays.Got back from holiday last night, and found our clothes line post had been stolen, along with the 35lb block of cement is was attached to.One of these for those that don't know what I'm talking about.

welsh1 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) That's bizarre,it probably took them more time and effort to lug that out than it would have to just concrete a post into their own garden,must be someone local who knew you would be away and has recently dug a big hole in their garden to accommodate a block of concrete and a pole.

KFC Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Do the Police have any lines of enquiry? Last night my buddy and I were parked in the entrance of a field and getting ready to go bunny-bashing. In the entrance was a big pile of 25mm gravel that was being used by contractors who were laying drains in the field. A bloke pulled into the gateway with a big trailer behind his estate car. As soon as he saw our trucks parked in front of the heap he drove off pdq. My guess is that he wanted to help himself to a trailer load of gravel.

I hope so, and they catch them and hang them out to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 what is the scrap value of an 8 foot long rusty steel pole I would think 50p at most I would think that it is more lightly someone is pulling your leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chr15j Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 It will all come out in the wash. Was it a thin blue line? Let me guess when you catch up with them you will hang them out to dry. Don't scare them too much, they might flat line Or, were you drying out your tins of pop having dilligently washed them ready for recycling and the local ****** thought they were onto something stealing a line if coke. I think this post is bow hanging by a thread Perhaps the thieves were musical and wanted to do some pole and line dancing? Perhaps the ***** wanted to take a pole out on a date and this is the best he could line up that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
