We had a large gas BBQ on our decking and some little sh*t has been in and stolen it!!!! We are one of four houses and to get to our garden you would have to jump hedges and fences. The other way is via the pub at the back, as there is assess via next doors garden.

The thing is it was about 2 years old, my mum gave us it, we hadn't even cleaned it up from when we used it last (((HEHE))) and they didn't even take the gas bottle, so I hope they are happy with it!!!!

DH said it was there on saturday, we were at the Redbull Soapbox race on sunday and we were at Misdee's bungalow yesterday, so unsure when it went

It was going to cost me about £170-200 to replace, I have to pay £75 excess on my insurance, so will have a lovely new one now

The thing is, DS really wanted a BBQ this week, he asked for one last week but he was staying at SILs, so I said this week and now he can't have one. we have just got home from GOS today and he was so brave he deserves to have a BBQ but will have to wait now.

someone nicked sizeable flower pots from in front of our house. would have needed a car and two people to carry them.

Somebody once dug up a plant from the middle of the lawn in our front garden. I phoned the police who said there was a lot of vandalism about..... I had to try and explain that it didn't seem like just vandalism as they had obviously brought a spade with them and nothing else was damaged!

Lisa78 · 10/08/2004 21:32

they stole a PLANT from your garden? How mad is that??????
Wish someone would steal our weeds!

Tommy · 10/08/2004 21:39

I know - i was gobsmacked and very bewildered. I have no idea what sort of plant it was - it was just there when we moved in. Maybe it was valuable? (do you get valuable plants?)

We had a rabbit pinched once

sportyspice · 10/08/2004 21:56

It makes me sick when you work hard to buy these things and somebody just comes along and helps themselves!

lavender1 · 10/08/2004 22:05

lol Tommy, I know it's annoying but just pictured someone doing it and it made me laugh (just the most ridiculous theft I have ever heard) hope it was covered in man eating slugs
