Had a bloody close shave today, I put the Iveco in for a service on Friday night on the understnding it would be ready for me to collect before lunch time Sunday. I went down at 11am Today and walked into the office for my keys and was told......

 

There had been 2 mechanics working night shift Sat night, during the night at some point 2 blokes (travellers) climbed the fence and went straight into the office where all the keys are kept for the vehicles, they took them all!

One of the mechanics had gone in to wash his hands and saw them walking past a window so he phoned the police. They were caught down the road. They had burried a load of keys to be picked up later but the sniffer dogs got them first, all wagons with hi-abs had been opened and the keys put in the ignition to be stollen later that night.

 

I was thinking for fu*ks sake this is really gona stuff my week up by having to have new locks and ignition fitted!!

 

The mechanic who had done my service had not put my keys on the board as he should have, he had left them in his overalls pocket!

 

No way how lucky am I???!!!

And the pressure washer has been re- painted to the correct colour

 

You are all rite regarding the state of this pressure washer, the cracks and nuts not being symmetrical has nearly pushed me over the edge thinking about it. I have had endless sleepless nights worrying about it so today I ordered a brand new one.... Phew that was a close one!
