Something odd just happened.

Basically we have an old broken washing machine in the garden that needs to be scrapped but we never had the time to do it.

Two gypsies just pulled up in a pickup, hopped the fence and ran off with it.

I don't know if I should have thanked them for taking and saving my family the effort of taking it to be scrapped it or called the police there...

I would notify the police, usually around here we have them come around in a white pickup asking for any scrap, unfortunately it is being proven in this area that they are also pinching metals, drain covers,, lead off roofs etc. Basically they are now getting the scrap value for all the metal and the parts inside that may still work basically they have still stolen potential money from you, the fact they hopped over and pinched it as well is burgulary, just think if it was something that wasn't broken in someone else's garden, worth mentioning and giving a description even if you don't want to pursue anything, it will help the police in other enquires i.e. giving them a time and location of where they were in case of other thefts. A friend of mine had their iron Chimenea stolen, worth £200

The local police here (Delaware) sent us a memo a couple months ago to be on the look out for a group of gypsies that was reported to be travelling through the area. It said that they work in pairs, one to distract and the other to steal. It was the first time I had heard of anything like that around here, but maybe I've just been sheltered.

What's the difference between a gypsy and a bandit?

Well because of the price of lead and copper being so high at the moment, electric cables from powerlines, electrified railways etc are being stolen, stripped down and sold. Lead flashing from roods (alot fo the time churches and schools) are being stripped to be sold on, its a nationwide epidemic thats costing lives and driving up insurance costs. Its gettign toa stage where laws are in process of being passed to make the senntancing for it much stronger Metals theft bill moves closer to law | Reuters

Now I have that song stuck in my head.

Firewind - That is just depressing.

Jarre - You always make it sound as though you're living in a 3rd world country.
