Can't believe it

Had 6x 25 litre empty drums pinched from my front garden ... Buggers .... Hope it was kids ...

They've been there full of water for ages , and then I used them all .
Then as they were empty , pinched .

Need about 6 for carrying extra water ....

Never mind only empty barrels

You get some right c***s around, have to watch your tools carefully.
Had a ladder stolen off my van last year in the middle of the day, whilst I was at the back of house cleaning a conservatory. I was feffing fuming..
Kempy can you buy 25litre barrels anywhere other then online, like b&q etc?
I want to get a couple myself, for those days where I need that little bit of extra water.

I always watch out for those scrap metal people driving around  as they more than once tried to nick my step ladder even though I was working just a few yards away!!!

I was using my new Purefreedom trolley in 2008. The trolley was at the front of the house and I had the hose extended around the back of the house. I felt a tugging on the hose so I went to the front and some blokes in a scrap van were trying to lift it on the truck. Ffs.

Each Friday I do a pile of shops and there's one road where I do 11. At the 9th I get a free coffee which I put on a flat bit next to the windscreen wipers and then do the last 2 which are next to where I park the van.

Last Friday someone nicked my coffee so I went and got another one. When I get back to the van the empty take away cup is sitting there with a note underneath it saying 'thanks'.  :-\
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

That was the first time that's happened. I've got a feeling it was someone in one of the shops having a laugh because I doubt if a member of the public would nick a coffee, stand around for 15 minutes and drink it, wait for me to go and get another one and just happen to have a pen and a bit of paper.

I'll wait and see if it happens again.... if it does, what to add the week after? Cayenne maybe?

Was thinking more along the lines of a bodily fluid.
