Easter idiots

[mendiplogs]

A holiday maker took his disco 4 up into the woods and got stuck in a ditch. Local agent for aa etc asked me to pop up in tractor with him and pull him out.

 

We arrived with chain, strops and shackles. Got non stop threats of suing us if I put a scratch on the motor or damaged it pulling it out. Now considering he's wedged it against a couple of trees and a boulder we packed up the gear and left him still shouting abuse.

 

Gather it was there for another 24 hours until it was dragged out rather unceremoniously by another outfit. Saw it on the back of the truck not straight on any direction.

 

He was trespassing, stuffed his motor into ditch at speed but then its someone else's fault if any damage occurs removing it?!

 

These folk live amongst us!

HI MATE IF THE OWNER SAID HE WILL SUE YOU THEN IT WILL LEAVE THERE IN THE WOOD TAKE IT OR LEAVE :001_rolleyes:THANKS JON

It would be lovely to contact the fools insurers and sabotage any claim he was trying to make,bet he hasn't mentioned he was trespassing etc.

I wonder how far an insurance company would dig. Surely they'd suss it.

 

I'm glad my pal's recovery contract not in doubt... He shot some video and sent it to AA!

I'd leave trespasses where they are or call the police, we had trespasses on land I owned its very annoying!

Isn't trespass a civil offense, rather than a criminal offence? if the trespasser has caused damage, or is armed, it becomes criminal, at which point the police may be more likely to act. Just my tuppence worth from experience.

by driving a vehicle over the ground he has caused damage, grass is a valuable crop, and you can force the police to press charges

Friend of mine had a few visits from flytippers on one of his fields, one day he came across an empty trainee pick up which was stuck, but no driver. He phoned the police and they said if its on private land there is nothing they can do. When he said I am going home to get my jcb and smash it to bits, they said we will have to arrest you then.???

I agree, in most cases of intentional trespass damage or theft is very likely to take place. An old dear and her dog looking confused I could overlook as she would probably be lost!!
