Rag and bone man,
« on: 22 August 2012, 14:46:08 »

Hi all,had the misfortune yesterday of trying to fix my belle cement mixer,earlier this month lend to a mate in perfect working order.
Anyway I failed to seperate the drum from the gearbox,and thought bugger this,placed it out side my back gate to dispose of later.Within an hour it was gone,isn't the scrap value great for getting rid of junk.

It is if you actually want rid of stuff!! Not that you get a choice if the thieving buggers take a fancy to something >:(

Stick a For Sale, $20 sign on it.
It will soon be gone.

;D Probably - actually I'm taking this as a good sign, I live down a slightly out-of-the-way dead end and if it hasn't been nicked that probably means nobody bothers coming down here looking for things to thieve! (Like the stack of alloys that lived in the garden for a year which didn't get nicked either)

Too late now anyway, just hauled it down the tip with the help of my dear old dad  :y

Isn't it nice to have a different class of pikey ;D

I'd a selection of front and rear suspension arms partially hidden at the front of the house, they actually rang the bell to ask if they could take them :o suffice to say, they're now in the garage ::)

Put an old cooker on the drive to load into the Estate to take to the tip - when I got home it had gone - least it saved me a journey ::)

...keep asking them to take the elite but they refuse...

I've just used the services of one of the local gangs of scrap metal men to shift a near bare Mv6 shell for me, they paid me eighty bucks for the privilege...
