I would, happily have attached the 'labels' myself, ZTD - with Superglue. :rolleyes:

Evening Z - you're in a very provocative mood tonight
Mind you - I think I could go along with your suggestion. :rotfl: :rotfl:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Lol! I like the nails and screws idea! OH is still exceptionally angry about the whole thing and is talking vigilante style justice :eek: Im not suprised, I feel the same way - however, im not going to think about it because it just makes me more stressed than I already am. Im taking a head in the sand approach to stop me losing my rag!
Im feeling a lot calmer today suprisingly, although still peeved at having to suffer the 'joys' of public transport. I figure these things are sent to try us and I wont let it ruin my week, ive got too much on my plate to get bogged down with stressing myself out over something I cant change.
Karma will kick them in the !!! at some point. I just hope im there to see it

Yeah, they were sympathetic and there were a lot of police cars whizzing past to see if they could catch them as they were still in the area. I feel that as they didnt catch them the same night, I dont think they will recover it in one piece though. I still cant believe I chased them, but for some odd reason I didnt shout or anything at them - even when I nearly caught them. I dont even think they knew I was following them.
I feel sorry for the cops actually, there is way too much red tape strangling them - like the fact that in bad weather they cant really give chase because if they fall off and get hurt then the cops get in trouble. As far as I am concerned, if you break the law then you should have your protections under law revoked. Id be happy for some cop to give them a good beating - hell, ill even provide a safe haven where no one will be a witness!

We had a smililar thing happen to us, car was vandalised but caught him in the act. He was arrested & charged, 2 days before the court case I caught him slashing the 2 new tyres we'd had put on for the MOT. Yes ok he was found guilty and was ordered to pay £2.50 a week compensation!!!. We' had to shell out nearly £300, all in one go to make things right. I totally agree with all comments, these little ******** have no thought or respect for other people feelings or property. Oh and after the case we were told he'd been done 18 times before for the same offence.

Certainly agree with you, here, jw. I'm going to sound old (I suppose I am old) but I do know that when we were kids, back in the sixties :eek: we were certainly no angels, but there was a respect for other people's property. Yes we would go 'scrumping' apples and, again yes, we were often caught. Justice was summary, either a clip round the ear from the farmer, or, if the local policeman 'Hotplate Baker' was called we were marched home in the sure and certain knowledge that our dad would give us a 'good hiding'. Nowadays that would probably be considered as 'child abuse'.
It does seem as though 'what's yours is anyone's' - hardly fair.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.

Don't know about Z, but I'm not really a violent person, Ginger. I'd go around anyway for moral support - perhaps I'll bring a tube of superglue. :rolleyes:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser.

It's a combination of factors.
