One small step for groundie, one giant leap for justice

[Starscream]

Hi,

Thought I'd share this story as it's normally the other end of the stick.. So today a groundie caught a couple of 'ne'er do wells' trying to break into the van. He ran over shouting at them and they proceeded to flap around not knowing what to do with themselves... Wait, what's that driving by? Ah, traffic old bill, excellent. The groundie flags them down with waves and screams and they duly pull over.. Groundie explains everything and the coppers cuff the pair. You're nicked! Whilst in cuffs, and in a thick Irish accent might I add, the big one looks at the groundie- 'tell them you've made a mistake mate'. 'Tell them to drop the charges mate'.

Yeah right, at this point the groundie gets right in his face and screams at him that he's not made a mistake, calling him a theiving 'C-bomb'. 'But I'm gonna have to spend all day at the police station now'.. At this point the groundie walks away laughing.

Hopefully the guys got previous, but because he wasn't caught actually stealing anything I think he'll be charged with interfering with a vehicle. Not sure what type of punishment that carries, probably not a lot, but a triumph none the less. Get in!!

Of course they are sign written, if not they'd be travellers:lol:

I love catching scrotes, the neighbours pigs get a good feed as well as the local charity bin getting a bag of clothes too boot.

Ty:biggrin:

So are we to have let them crack on through fear of repercussions? They are sign written. We're no mugs and they can come for us, they'll have a big surprise. In fact I hope they try something else. I'll be waiting for my crack at them. Too many times have I had my livelihood taken away from me, too many times have I had to foot a bill that I shouldn't have, too many times have I ended up in negative equity on a job because they've crept on to site and taken something or smashed a window and stolen my bag. It's not theirs to take, we do everything to avoid theft but sometimes you get caught slipping. Take my means to earn money and you may as well take the bread from my daughters mouth. It's personal. I'm fed up and I don't care. There are many others that I know share this sentiment.

No not at all but its worth bearing in mind that they wont take it well and may be looking for revenge.

Kin right mate. The groundy needs a medal or award ...I would be giving him a bonus this week 👍🏻

Yeah I appreciate what you're saying. Realistically there was only 2 options. Do something and suffer consequences or let them rob the van. Rock and hard place springs to mind.
