Folks just thought would give a "heads up on this"
We are all I'm sure too aware of the 3 or 4 vans that are collecting scrap round our streets . In the main have found them to be friendly , curteous and polite ( despite the fact that they come around FAr too often AND those ridiculous and VERY irritating horns)!
Anyway ..
Just thought would advise a bit of caution . There is one chap , drives a van with cage pallet sides , a white van I think.
Always had my suspicions on this guy as he drives very slowly and peers into the houses and alleyways . I though we were suppoosed to call them over if we had something for them?
"Get to the point" !
ok I will !
Yesterday said scrap man was found around the back of my house ! .I was at work but someone just happened to have called in to see us.
This scrap guy could not have just "casually"been there picking up scrap as we had none AND would have to go down the ginnel AND open the back gate to get where he was at the time .He "appeared" to be ready to toddle off with my bike!
No defence or excuses as I see it !..
He said in his defence when challenged
but.. "I'm the scap man" as if he was somehow allowed to just wander around peoples property
Robbin' bloody so and so more like!
so clearly as scrap metal value is so high he has now taken it upon himself to relieve us of anything he can get hold of whether offered or not!
I am wondering if these guys are actually allowed to trawl our streets? do they have to be licensed? how do we check?
Also has anyone else seen this character acting supiciously ?Does anyone on the forum know him? If so please tell him to kindly stay off private property
I think a word with the local constabulary may be in order ?
be careful folks
