Score one for the good guys

During a recent clamping episode (discussed elsewhere but i forgot to mention this little gem) the unfortunate 'parking enforcement officer' was attending a clamped vehicle belonging to a deliveryman trying to delivery to my flat. His previous clamping had turned out to be a total disaster and told the deliveryman all about it.

Essentially he had succeeded in scamming the victim into paying and was in the process of writing out a receipt. That done, he moved on to the next clamped vehicle only to realise he'd left his bag behind - the bag will all of his daily proceeds inside. All gone :T

The deliveryman took rather a lot of delight in passing that little story on to me. Every cloud eh.

    Now that is very unfortunate. First the clamp fell off then this.

    Oh well you shouldn't laugh.

    Nah just take your own money back, if there's a list of who the money belonged to in there spend the day returning it to its rightful owner or donate the rest to charity :D

    Carry a 36v battery power drill in your boot, specially for any clamps so called 'employees' think they can use at private car parks! ;)
