    I was thinking i'd read what it said!!lol just imagining it:rolleyes: , but surely if it was a threatening note that's enough to report it.Even if the police just speak to him, and warn him not to be such a c0ck in the future:confused::confused:

    If I was you I would just let it go. Some people are just nasty arrrogant !!!!!!. I doubt the police would do anything, and it would just take your time and energy up.


    So he thinks he can behave like that to anyone he considers inferior? needs a lesson IMHO


    Yes, what did it say?:rotfl:
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    If you are typing that in my direction, I should point out that it does not tell us what the note said. You might need the specsavers more than I do.

    You must report him. He has exhibited anti-social, threatening behaviour both verbally and in writing for which you have proof. The police will have to act and follow up with you, more than likely with an apology from the gentlemen (can I call him that?) concerned via the police. We all have a basic human right to go about our daily lifes without being intimidated. This is what the police are for (supposedly) - protection of the public.
    CHEAP doesn't mean ETHICAL
  • Sorry you've had to deal with this.

    I work for the police nd confirm there is an actual offence of 'Threats to commit criminal damage'. If the content of the note is tantamoun to this I'd take it into your local nick and report it. I wouldn;t expect CPS to deem it 'in the public interest to pursue as a crime, but using PNC the cops will be able to trace him through his registration number and give him the hard word at least. If the note is very bad, they may even lock him up for it before putting it to CPS, especially if you are distresses by it.

    Hope this helps
