For the last 12 months, we've had an old washing machine round the back of our house. (I've been meaning to shift it. Honest! ;))
Anyway, now we have the scaffolding up and space is at a premium, SWMBO and I lugged it through Nickbat Towers a couple of days ago. We got it through the front door and left it near the top of the steps. The intention was to lug it down the steps and heave it into SWMBO's Corsa and thence on to the dump. Not a job I was looking forward to. :( :(
Someone has since nicked it.
RESULT! :y :y

Haha! This country though.... If its not nailed down...

So now it'll get fly tipped somewhere once the valuable bits (case, drum, wire) have been removed... or left on a 'travellers site' to rot, I suppose.

sounds like a story I read on Internet bout a guy who put out a fridge with a sign that said free to good home. bout week later still there digit a laugh he changed sign to for sale $20, it was gone by the end of the day ;D
-
if we're going to throw any furniture or anything away we leave it out front with a note saying ''please take if you want this'' before taking it to the tip. everything we put out goes! lol
-
The midnight pixies can sometimes be usefull.... :) :)
-
Best way is to put it outside, with a for sale notice on it...will always be nicked ;D ;D ;D ;D

We have a nicer class of pikey here. I have pit two washing machines out, both with 'Scrap' scrawled on the top. Both times the lad knocked and asked if it was OK to take it.

In all honesty, they are like that round here...I put some computer cases out, marked 'please take'....but they still knocked :y

When we redid the bathroom all the old bits, including a steel bath, were dumped in the fron garden awaitng a chance to get them to the tip. A knock at the door later 'Can we take the bath?' ' Sure, if you take the sink and toilet too'.
The blokes faces was a picture, but they took the lot :y

Hmm. I've got a Granada Scorpio rear subframe in my garden... I'd be delighted if someone would nick it. ???

I went to visit a friend. They were out......but the side door was open and the tell-tale white flatbed was parked outside. I went round to the back and they were eyeing up the innards to an old piano that had taken four of us half an hour to drag up the garden.
Hello mate, can I help you?
Ermmmm......
Do you want that?
Yeah.
Right. Take it then.
It took them about ten minutes (good going :y ) to get it to the front. They were persistent little swines but when they got it to the van....they couldn't lift it on.
Any chance of a...........
Sorry mate, it's me back yer know....
They got it up eventually but I doubt they were fit for anything else that day. ;D ;D

You may be pleasantly surprised if you can get it to a scrap metal dealer to have it weighed in ....

My late mum was required to leave her colostomy bags out in a secure container for collection by a hazardous collection firm. One morning after putting it out the night before, she had a knock from the collector. " Where is your container Mrs L?" Slow dawning of truth and huge mirth imagining the picture as the disappointed thief opened his booty! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
