Done my good deed and got dragged out truck

[treesnatcher]

8pm just settling down for the night and the phone rings, one very distressed cat owner. Went missing thursday just found her but fire brigade will not come out nor will rspca help so being a bit soft we put the waterproofs on and headed out (hour drive)

Cat was at the top of fair sized ash tree so we did the business rescued the cat (20 min including chat) and headed home.

Next thing blue lights from all directions, 6 police officers we are boxed in and dragged out of truck, asked what we are doing "just rescuing a cat officer" they just laughed and said "what you really doing ?" then we got searched and breathalysed. Eventually i got one to listen and get the job card out the truck, he rang the customer who fortunately told them how amazing we were and we had just saved her beloved cat. Then he came back over and relayed that our story had just checked out.

The face of every officer present was priceless. Keys returned and on our way home......

Why did they pull you over?

[rupert w]

At least they were doing there job,for all they knew you could of been out robbing chainsaws.

Why did they pull you over?

 

Someone must have reported the van as suspicious. They thought we were caravan dwellers and were out stealing and expected more than just woodchip on the back which i can understand as it was fairly late sat night, raining and metal theft is rife around here.

They either do bugger all or go right over the top.

They either do bugger all or go right over the top.

 

That sums it up .....

They either do bugger all or go right over the top.

 

yes bugger all when you really need them and OTT when you dont!

Scrap metal theft seems to be the current priority
