Dodgy neighbour doesn’t care

[peedoffnow]

While we're all complaining about fuel costs constantly rising, my neighbour blatantly takes a delivery of 5 drums of red diesel every couple of weeks and stands in full view of all the neighbours while he fills up his car, his wife's car and his sons car...all top of the range cars I may add...

Meanwhile, he's on benefits (although he delivers for local Chinese takeaway 6 nights a week and likes to tell anyone that will listen, how he earns at least £150 per night😡)

This has been going on for several years now...if I had the bottle I would phone and report him to the police.

He's also mentioned that he needs to decorate his house and get new furniture so he's going off on a lads holiday abroad for a few days and said he will damage a pipe in his loft before he goes so his house will be totally flooded by the time he gets home, as the house will be empty while he's away, and he will claim his house insurance to replace and reinstate everything, all for the cost of his £150 excess.

AIBU to be peed off at him?

Report him re red diesel and benefits, as it bothers you, and he is defrauding the treasury.

Five drums? How big are these drums? Where is he storing them that is in full view of the neighbors?

I would take notice. Other people cheating the system makes no odds to my life.

Report him. Sod the neighbour's policeman sons, they are probably off duty and don't want to be landed with arresting their mum's neighbour. If he's genuinely illegally in receipt of stolen diesel, then call the police when it's delivered. If he's getting cash in hand payments, but still claiming benefits, report him to the DWP. If he's planning insurance fraud, then tip off the insurance company. If he's as much of a blabbermouth as you say, it will be simple to find out who he's insured with.

Stop bubbling over with rage and DO SOMETHING!!!

Wouldn’t **

Report him to the police, they'll arrange to have the car's tanks dipped and also mention he delivers for a restaurant

I bet he hasn't got the correct insurance for that

YABU to be cross if you’re not going to do anything about it

I would take notice. Other people cheating the system makes no odds to my life.

But it does. You pay more tax, vat, insurance. The NHS is underfunded.

If you do report him they might just do a random spot check on his car one day when he's out and about. This is why this country is such a fucking mess cos nobody wants to do anything.

Just report it online to Crimestoppers. They'll make sure the information goes to every agency that needs to know.

If you're not going to do anything about it you may as well ask for this thread to be deleted.

Na let’s just not know every piece of into into a neighbours whole life and grass them up.

People always get what’s coming to them in the end.

Report the red diesel!

Considering he’s been doing all this for yonks he will never cotton on it’s you, who’s informed the authorities. So I’d do it.

If he gets the diesel delivered to his home and fills up the cars with it in front of everyone then he couldn’t know who dobbed him in

He seems to say so much. All these details from a neighbour. He's not a very good law-breaker, is he? Or is there a reason he trusts you and everybody else he constantly tells all his business to?

You can do any of these:

1. Tell him to stop telling you his crimes or you may become an accessory someday.

1. Report him.

1. Ignore him. Just hi and bye.

1. If you know him very well, enough to be a listening ear, then you can learn 'law-breaking' from him and you too may start living the life.

he delivers for local Chinese takeaway 6 nights a week and likes to tell anyone that will listen, how he earns at least £150 per night)
He's earning £46k a year delivering take away? Are they looking for staff?!

Ive voted yabu-because youve come here told us and then said you couldnt possibly report-waste of time

YABU not to find the bottle and report him for benefit fraud. Ive never had need to do so but I assume its fairly anonymous/easy to do.

If you wont report............ whats the point of moaning here about him.

Report anonymously to crimestoppers

Post his details on here and we will all report it

Oh and @tkwal no I don't do any of those. And at least two of your list are commonly used to fund organised crime with all the negative knock on effects for the wider community so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make?

nonevernotever

The point is that if someone does any of the things I mentioned then they would be in no position to criticise or report the dodgy neighbour mentioned in the OP without being hypocritical. I thought that would have been clear ? Before you remove the speck from your neighbours eye, remove the log from your own is another way of putting it

Ah I'm sorry @tkwal I see what you mean now.

@Hertsgirl10

No one knows how to mind their own anymore going by this post and comments … what is it doing to you other than the obvious jealously.

Um. Defrauding the taxpayer?

Whilst admittedly small fry, why should he get away with it? And storing diesel is dangerous
