across the road from a job were doing the pikeys moved in. first night 12tonne of copper (armoured cable) vanished. the police helicopter now circles the area for about 2hrs a day.

i`ve told the lads that a van will come and collect all tools etc tomorrow afternoon as this will be the first weekend they have been here.

followed one gypo onto the m8 in his transit/trailer with tarmac.com etc sign written all over it. he pulled off at shotts (big tarmac plant) and then most likely went and ripped off some old lady. :angry:

It's lovely to report, it's all quiet here on the pikey front.
The quiet before the storm?

working near a big camp at the moment, they keep looking in on us, seeing whats on site etc. they have the tipper and the shoes with jeans, unmistakable. one of my labourers is always the first to tell them to leave the site in a far than pleasant language.

a lot of units at my yard were broken into recently. There must of been a gang, and the parked at the top of the hill and came on foot.
Three units , they took nothing, one had some cable stolen, and the final jackpot for them was a guy who does grounds maintenance. they took all his stihl stuff. Luckily, i have no pedestrian door to access my unit, just two roller shutter doors, so they left mine alone.
Police came. The owner of the farm said " bloody pikeys" police woman siad " now you don't know its them sir!" he said" f***ing wake up!"
Later that day, CID arrived. bloke stood there shaking his head and said " bloody pikeys are the bane of our lives!!"

The fair is now in town too, so only a matter of time before another crime wave arrives

The buggers teared up at one of our groundscare sites today, door knocking while my lads were doing the blowing.
Giant haystacks in the passenger seat of their van asked one of my lads if he liked getting his bollocks kicked in.

Exits left. Quickly. Bloody trouble is if you report them, the company name is on your van so they know who to go after.

Vicious circle, t**ts. :angry:
