We had a shed and a steel shelving unit delivered this morning at 6.30 - for some reason the driver thought it was safe to leave them in our front garden on lordship lane (opposite ish the police station by the pedestrian crossing). Sometime between 6.30am and 8am some horrible person came and nicked the shelves. The reason for this thread is to moan and also check to see if anyone saw anyone carrying away my shelves?
I think you may have a case against the delivery company. If nobody signed for them and they just left them there it could well be their negligence. If they neglected to ring bell/get someone to sign, maybe they neglected to deliver them at all/left them at wrong address.
Thanks Huggers. I rang the driver this morning when we found the sorry you weren't in card with his number on and he says he definitely delivered them and tried our bell twice but I'm sure we would have heard it. I just got off the phone from the company we ordered them from and luckily they are sending us a replacement so that's good. I'm just a bit peeved off because we've lived here less than a year and had this theft, a few bags of cement and sand stolen from our back garden last year and an attempted burglary (he was caught and charged though) so we're feeling slightly unlucky today and I know they're only thefts so not the end of the world. These things come in threes supposedly so hopefully that's the last theft we'll have!

Do not leave anything made from any metal out side.


I was replacing the kitchen sink and left it out to take it out to the refuse the next morning, which I then found that I did not need to go anymore.


Metal is good money, I have started to take all my scrap metal from various jobs around the house to the metal scrap place in Nunhead. Bought our place in auction so was left with various bits and bobs that I cashed in, which paid for a full clean at the hand car wash!

There are a couple of open backed lorries which go around the area collecting any scrap metal. My old tumble dryer went that way and my poor bike, which was just put out to keep it out of the way. Old microwave were taken a few weeks ago too, I knew it would be that's why I didn't call the Council to collect it.

As someone said, metal is like gold these days.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
