Dog started barking at about 2:30am this morning. Woke me and the Mrs up, we both thought it was the wind blowing outside as he settled down after a couple of minutes or so.
Ended up getting up early because I couldn't sleep, went into the greenhouse for some Orange juice and noticed the box with all the wine and Vodka gone plus a new box of beer, back gate left open and the re-cycling boxes lifted of the garden store box thing.
The little thieving barstewards have nicked the bloody stuff !!!!!!
Good job we hadn't stocked up for a party tonight or we would have been well and truly stuffed.
Only comes to about £50 worth of alchohol, but I'm sat here bloody blazing 👿
Checked the garage and bikes are still there, but it's bars on the gate from now on, and off to screwfix for some wall anchors and chains for the bikes.
I know it's not a lot of money but the thought of the freeloading, lazy, dishonest little gits, has got my blood boiling, not to mention somebody wandering about in MY house and garden.AAARRRGGGHHHH
That's terrible. Up the local park, look for a drunk yoof and give him a good kicking / reprimand ..!?
Like I mentioned, people have a lot worse things pinched, it's just the principle (or lack of principles) that winds me up.

I'll drink to that.
cheers 😆
Probably acted as a good decoy, had they not found the alcohol, they'd have kept looking for something and maybe found your bikes....
NB As they now know where you keep your booze, I'd move it all someplace else, as highly likely they'll be back in a few weeks.
Just ask the local kids do they have any cheap drink to sell
Sorry to poke fun at your loss...for which I am gutted for you...but

Thought it was just me who was leading a weird existence..
Probably need to explain that bit. The orange juice that was in the fridge was empty, thats kids for you 🙄 so as well as the alchohol, the soft drinks are also kept in the Greenhouse.
Thought it was just me who was leading a weird existence..
and I don't think you have a monopoly on that 😆
At least now you can start your January detox without temptation. Good luck and get those bikes locked 🙂
At least the Soul is nice and safe.
Vortex,
Take a look at www.securityforbikes.co.uk for your chain lock and anchor, you will probably not be able to get it today however you will get a far superior bit of kit for securing your bikes.
I only use my B&Q chain for locking my bike to my car now as my Pragmasis chain is to big to fit through the towing eye on the car.
The Garage that has the bikes in is attached to the house and is alarmed with the house alarm, but I think I'm still going to lock the bikes up anyway. The fact that the garage has a hacksaw, a 4" and 9" angle grinder in it is irrelevant 🙄
cheers for the link Rusty, but I think it's .com not .co.uk
I was going to get some wall anchors from screwfix with a good chain and padlock. It will only be to make it a bit harder for them to nick them, they have to get past the Alarm first.

Around our way they'd have taken the greenhouse. Did you leave them mince pies and sweeties? did they not RSVP or send you a thank you and a bottle of nice wine?
very common at this time year unfortunately, happened to my mum a few years ago, cops said neds getting ready for Hogmanay party.
Move the bikes out of the shed/garage. Thieves talk/grapevine that there was pickings to be had. Your on their radar now.
falkirk-mark - MemberI'll drink to that.
With whose beer? hmmmmmmmm...
Don't look the gate, just leave some beer bottles out there full of wee.
Leave some bottles out of booze but get someone with Norovirus or worse to lick the tops of the bottles.
Natural justice best served chilled.
Genius Ianmunro
Leave some beer spiked with picolax 😆
^^ this reminds me of an episode when my grandparents kept having their milk stolen, every second day they had two bottles delivered and after a while one bottle regularly started going missing, so my grandad got up extra early and waited for the delivery, low and behold 20 mins later some chav came and helped himself and proceeded to peel the lid and slurp it down as he walked down the street under the cover of darkness (it was winter), no doubt feeling smug. Now my grandad didnt intervene cos he had a plan, he took a couple of bottles of milk and kept it till it was nice and rancid then one morning after the milkman had been he quickly swapped the bottles then went and watched from the bedroom window, regular as clockwork the chav appeared, quickly grabbing the bottle and walking off. I can still hear the joy in my grandads voice as told us how the chav peeled the lid and took a swig, spat the chunks out then proceeded to violently throw up!
They never had their milk stolen again.
Lol The dog's laid there thinking bloody humans you tell then but they never listen 😳

Very good point, I suppose he deserves and extra biscuit today.
Of course this means every time he barks in the night from now on, I'll be downstairs like a flash. May have to consider starting to sleep in PJ's 🙄 (se other thread on wearing PJ's) oh and purchase a baseball bat.
Reminds me of a song by Earth Wind & Fire.
*waits to see who gets the reference*
Dont buy a baseball bat buy a large Maglite, if you use a baseball bat you are in the poo but if you use a maglite in self defence you can say you were using it has torch and had no intention of using has a weapon but was drawn to use because of the incident.

That's The Way Of The World?
or it could be
After The [s]Love[/s] booze Is Gone 😆
Why would you keep your beer in the greenhouse?!
Why would you keep your beer in the greenhouse?!
Well it's not going to germinate if left outside in this weather!
Why would you keep your beer in the greenhouse?!
No room in the kitchen and easier to get to than the garage. As proven by the scrotes
Lol, still with a sense of humour, well done!
Thats because I'm sober 🙁
Maglite? ONE uppercut puts anyone on their ass. Why do you need weapons?!
My god! The same thing has happened to us.
Before Christmas I bought a load of booze.
And now it's all disappeared!
That sucks but at least they left the green house !
Thanks Nige 🙄

See they are had it everywhere !!!!
Watch it with the Maglite anokdale, your only ok to use it as a cosh so long as you use the light end to bash with

Your internet persona bares little resemblance to the real world.
I would pay good money to watch you try that on someone
No I really would
PS boxing would be a short event if that technique was as good as you suggest and fights would last only one punch [ including street ones]
Hora didn't mean punch them when he said uppercut Junkyard. He meant he would attack them with his beautiful member. This would have to be an uppercut as a typical groin is below chin level...
don't secure anything...... restock and lace with .......Picolax.......
(of course secure the bikes etc)
In subject of Picolax - what happened to Blutone...? I take it he has left this neck of the woods a long time ago. Shame, because that thread was genius!

I used to live across the road from a Caribbean take away that used to have a basebat and pickaxe handle mounted on the wall the behind the counter. One night they got used in action, there was a bit of police involvement and they disappeared - to be replaced by a pair of giant ornamental hardwood salad tossers.
From my experience of disturbing burglars their priorities are (from unpacking the items in the bags they dropped in reverse order)
1: Find a bag
2: Got to the fridge for booze
3: Look for bottles of spirits
4: CDs (remember them)
5: Low level valuables
Thieves steel stuff that is readily fence-able, only bike thieves steal bikes because only bike thieves know how to sell them on. High value goods are hard to sell as you need to find someone dishonest with enough money to want to buy them (and who wants and doesn't already have what you are selling). Booze, however, is easy to sell. At any time of year booze is the easiest stuff to turn into ready cash. Storing it in your garden at Christmas is an absolute gift!

I have a friend we call the Exorcist, whenever he visits he rids the house of spirits.
Got called out a few days before chriostmas a few years ago, customers shed broken into, containing the chest freezer, as the lady had cooked and plated all the christmas meals for her large family, and then frozen them ready to be reheated christmas day morning.
Someone had nicked the lot,including the plates.
I would have loved to ask her how she was expecting to heat 15 plates of christmas dinner up all in one sitting, and the risk of food poisioning if she hadnt frozen them quick enough, but thought better of it for once.
for once.

Junkyard. Boxers have padded knuckles. Ever been punched with bare knuckles? It hurts.
My internet persona is silly. My realworld is jokey. Ive never attracted trouble from strangers as Im not 5ft7 with straggly weirwolf hair 😉
I do Martial arts - Yes i have many times [ i am crap at it]- whats your point?
Most folk would break their knuckles/hand/wrist with a full force punch Gloves are their to protect the hand not your face - the power is still there even with light gloves.
You would need to be huge and skillful to be sure of one punch knock outs and the other person would need to either stand still or move in IME- thats just to deck them never mind a KO- ie if you dont fight dont think you will be able to do this

Chapeau 😀

But in those documentaries that Roger Moore makes, you know stuff like "You only live once to dies twice another daylights" you can get a good clean silent kill by politely tapping someone on the back of the neck. Thats marital arts fact!
In boxing you are told to protect your chin. I did martial arts for 9yrs. **** all use, get inside gouge and land as many rabbit punches with uppercuts as possible oh and use your forehead as much as possible.
If hes harder than you strangle the ****. 🙂
I will pay good money to see you try that technique with some folk who have done some training that is of **** all use 😉
Shrugs. I never want to ever fight. If attacked though I'd Grab them whilst your friends are taking their shoes/socks off 😉
