Not sure whether i'm annoyed over nothing or I have a point.
My old boiler was removed earlier, it's completed useless and it was left on the side of the road near my dad's van for about ten minutes. He went back outside and went to pick up the panel at the front of the boiler and a woman appeared shouting "LEAVE THAT ALONE, IT'S MINE!". Thinking it would save him a trip to the dump he let her take it and shortly afterwards a van pulled up and removed it.
Does leaving it on the street mean this is fair enough? I was at work. If someone had politely asked me for it i'd have thought good luck to you and happily let them take it. If someone had shouted that at me i'd have told them to fook off and taken it back out of pure stubbornness. |  |

Kidnapping elderly ladies is against the law. [Post edited 13 Oct 2017 18:42]

Which is why I only kidnap ladies in the 25-35 range. | |

Hmmm. I don't think this J2BLUE persona you're persevering with works without Dolly as your counterfoil.
But to answer your point, if it's on the street it is fair game imo. You snooze, you lose, finders keepers losers weepers etc.
That being said, the woman sounds like a rusty chumbucket. |  |

There's a reason you haven't seen him in ages...the world wasn't big enough for two of us. | |

Happens on the semi-regs, as I see it. Scrap metal and all that; essentially if it's saving your old man a trip to the tip, and you don't want it, it's kind of fair game.
Similar thing happens occasionally with larger items of furniture; doesn't tend to hang about, providing it's in good nick.
Everyone's a winner, or something. [Post edited 13 Oct 2017 18:47]

True enough, altho it's perhaps a little unreasonable to expect a scrap metal scavenger to represent Little Lord Fauntleroy, when securing their wares. | |

That would have needled me her saying ' its mine' when its clearly not, Cheeky cow. Like you , if she'd have asked I would have given her the boiler but as she didn't............... Me being a stroppy git, would have told her to do one even if I didn't want to go and recycle it. Don't think its worth that much as scrap anyway. [Post edited 13 Oct 2017 19:09]

Not sure that "old boiler" is a politically correct way of describing Mrs J2BLUE. |  | | |

I left a few bits outside mine to put in the skip after I'd filled it with the hardcore etc, golf clubs (old sht Ones never used) and two old doors
Got home from work and they'd gone, I was pissed off for a good half hour, until missus said 'U were chucking them anyway you d1ck' - her point and description of me spot on, BUT I'd paid £170 for that skip, it was my rubbish to fill my skip with!
Lol |  |

I was moving out of my old house and went down to Ipswich for the weekend. The locals had obviously seen that I was moving out, and when I got home my empty 8 x 6 foot shed had been taken! Jarrow, what a place! |  |

My council will pick up white goods/beds etc for free from the drive, but if you leave them out and some enterprising person takes it in advance due to effective surveillance I don't really care, it's gone and the Council are aware of the competition. |  | | |

Had a skip a few weeks ago whilst clearing out the property I’ve just brought, and we stuck in 4/5 old lampshades and an old shower pole in there (they were on the top as last things we’ve chucked out that evening) only to come back the next evening to find that they had indeed been taken! I can only presume there was some mental on the lampshade somewhere so that’s why they were taken as you genuinely wouldn’t want to have put them up in your property (and it had also p*ssed down that evening so they would have been soaked)!

No, it's theft.
Same as a skip, it's theft unless they have the owners permission to take stuff from it. |  | | |

Anything you put in the public highway is fair game in my view.
When I lived in London, anything I wanted shot of went on the pavement. First flat I bought, the toilet was minging. Did the bathroom up and put the old big white telephone on the pavement, gone within ten minutes, saved me a trip to the tip. |  |

I'm with you.
I'd have cut off my nose to spite my face there, just on principle.
And dragged the thing by a piece of rope to the tip if I had to to make a point.*
*Crap. That sounds like the attitude of one or 2 particular posters on here. |  |

I always leave any scrap on top of the skip to stop anyone emptying it to find the stuff. Tho they seem to be politer in Salford than some other places (actually ask). |  |
