The cheek!!!

[Ian Flatters]

Some people!!! Well I've just spent half of my day off retrieving stolen firewood. I'll paint the picture, working in a mental hospital with large open parkland. Been felling dead cherry trees on Thursday and all the timber was stacked to be extracted tomorrow. Well i get a call this morning from one of the guys up there saying my pile of wood looks quite light!! So i take a trip up to the site and well 2 truck loads light! A little looking around and we find a house gate the backs onto the site and all the missing wood. Walk up to the back door which is open and knock....No reply...knock again, no reply so we take all the timber back and off site.

 

Now maybe if it was a public wood/park I'd understand that they weren't sure if it was left or to be taken. But private land now that's taking the biscuit.

 

I guess it could of been worse and i hadn't been able to retrieve the wood but it annoys me that the think its worthless.

People behaving like this really winds me up, sadly there are many in society who are selfish, ignorant and downright rude, it's not the first time and sadly won't be the last time that happens, even worse if you challenge them they'll come up with some blatant lie/lame excuse:mad1:

I would be inclined to have a word about that,it's theft after all,and they would know that or they would have asked.

Be cheekier still if the house you had removed it from had bought it off some 'contractors'.

Like a happy ending...u got it back everyone's happy...well... nearly everyone!!

Glad you got it back.

You ought to have taken pics/ got evidence of its provenance, then sent them a really high bill for the wood, followed up with a solicitors letter when they didnt pay.....
