My Dad was targeted by an outfit as he slept on a popular HGV spot near Newcastle (Tyne)
They stole his fuel which was discovered at 5:30am. Police came and told him that it was a 'thing' on this A road. Then in the afternoon recovery people came to say nothing could be done, so had to wait for a pick up by the truck manufacturer, who dropped him on the Newcastle Metro. Being old having no idea how to get a ticket after hours, the name of the town was redeemed slightly, with the help he got. Eventually getting on a train where he was accosted by the loveliest Geordie gay guy, that's my favourite part of. A very kind man travelling Newcastle to Bristol who helped my stressed out Dad, making his journey home somewhat entertaining.
All I can say is buy knock off diesel in the Newcastle area I curse you. My Dad would have been very stressed and it's not what you need as you're knocking off, to have a 14 hour day on a Friday, it has made me upset for his welfare. They cut the fuel line, the imbeciles, but the more professional ones do what these idiots ended up doing eventually.
Is it worth the misery of truck drivers and companies that also get affected, so you can get cut price diesel?
So please warn any trucker relatives who do nights out who might be affected by this.
