Exclamation OMG - can you really steal next door's garden and expect to get away with it

I know its in the daily mail, but the photographic evidence itself is compelling.

A couple are return home to find that their neighbour has taken the contents of the garden, lock stock and barrel. Its not as if their neighbour is even hiding the stolen items, just merely transported them into his garden, and expects to get away with it

It is hard to understand how some people think

I take it you mean when I was planning on buying a 996 Turbo this year?

As I stated before. I work in the Construction industry, and as such the projects we had in the pipeline were either canceled or postponed until further notice as these were all Government backed projects. This put not only the company in trouble, but my job in doubt. How could I buy any car based on not knowing if I'd have a job?

We won a decent size contract, that will pay overtime and Bonuses. However nothing like what I would have got before the Credit crunch happened. This is the reason I decided not to buy a 996. Luckily my property is all paid for. Guess I didn't do too badly paying off my Mortgage after 5 years 3 months. Rather than having a mortgage and buying a 996 Turbo (or GT3 in your case) I decided secure the roof over my head. And in the process, save enough cash to buy a 996 Turbo outright. Lack of certainty in the Construction Industry would make me fool hardy spending £30k+ on a car, when next year I might need that cash to live on.

One of our rivals have gone into Administration 2 weeks ago.

Oh dear - touched more of a nerve than I thought with that one!

Actually - it was more a reference to your posts in Other Marques when everytime someone mentions a car you will pop up saying you thought of buying one

But if you want to defend your wealth and business status then knock yourself out

Apparently she thinks it will massively reduce the value of her home.

Given what I can see I think she is right - from £19,995 to £19,500!

Car's I've considered buying recently.

996 Turbo
Focus RS MkII - Had name down.
VW Scirocco - Ordered after FRS was announced as FWD. Cancelled due to VW putting delivery date back several times. Bought Golf GT Sport.

Car's I'd consider in the future if work picks up.

996 Turbo
Nissan 370Z
Scirocco R
Golf R

Hardly a long list. But if you want to make out I plan to buy every car mentioned in other Marques, then go ahead and knock yourself out.

That's nothing. My mate stole half of his neighbour's garden. The adjoining semi was repossessed, so while it was empty, he moved the garden fence so that his small triangular garden became a large square one. Must have gained about 25%. Sold it like that, too.

She thinks the shed going has devalued her house???? How about going to a national news paper complaining about what a dick next are..... I think that is what will devalue your house.
