Guess one the them will cancel your services next. Happened to us years back. Even saw the ex customer cleaning his own windows with an Unger squeege identical the the one that disappeared - but you can't prove it was.

ive started doing this after i saw an item  on a passenger seat of a car down my road . was it mine? im 99% sure it was but   from now on  i will be ready . the 2 cut marks with blue paint in them  will in future identify my stuff and my idea is that a thief wont bother trying to erase such .

ive just been watching a lot of "forensic detectives" on telly recently !

It get on my nerves, when I have left scrim, or a blade round a cussies house. They never bother to phone to say you have left it. I never see it again.
