Dad Ripped of by ..........

Recommended Posts

There is or was a small tree at the bottom of my 92 year old Dads garden . It started to flush this spring but gave up and died ( like a Robinia but without the thorns ) I discussed it with him several times saying I could remove it if he wanted but we agreed it was not a problem and the birds sit in it before coming to the feeders so we would leave it . Today i find twigs and brash all in the driveway , all along the side of the house and all over the back lawn . Some one has felled it onto the lawn , dragged the trunk out and left all the crap . I look in his cheque book and he has paid " Alfie Smith " £130 for what must have taken all of 8 minutes . My piss is boiling . What worries me more is now they know he is a soft touch they may be back . I have told him not to answer the door to anyone who he does not know .

have you stopped the cheque

 

By the time I discovered it the bank was shut . I cant be there all the time and if the cheque bounces they could be back all chunky . My Dad is 92 and cant walk without a frame . I don't want him to have to confront them .

I would be more annoyed that some Caravan Utilising Nomadic Tree Surgeon has had the cheek to cold call and talk the old boy into something he clearly did not want doing. Track them down Stubby and call the police.
