Was called out by police 11.45pm, the theiving gits have angle grinded through the shutter lock and tried to enter my shop. So i am forced to sit here till daylight with baseball bat in hand hoping they dont come back. Police thought they most definatly would if i didnt stay as they had done the hard work. So i am knackered and my daughter starts school today in 5 hours and im stressed and want to cause some mayhem but i would probably get nicked as the law in this country sucks.

Know the feeling (of waiting up all night), despite doing a 12 hour day I got home (after an hour on the train), only to be called 5 minutes later and asked to go all the way back into the City again (another hour on the train). I've been up all night, sitting here looking after 18 application servers in a massive, flourescently lit, subzero co-lo.

Bloody police
Thought they could have come up with a little bit of help for you.
Sorry all I can suggest is some pro plus and red bull for you.

Many years ago,I came to London to open a shop,in Shepherds Bush. Got called out by ploice to say window had been smashed etc. Went down and got shop boarded up. Guy doing the work told me "They will be back..." slept in shop. About 2 hours later I could hear some guys trying to take the boards of the window. This was a specialist Climbing shop....... Picked up the biggest ice axe an ran towards the window and smashed the large section of the axe through the board. All I heard was some guy screaming his head off and his mates freaking out. I had to wait until the other staff turned up to pull the axe out of the wood. It was in that hard.
Never new what happend to the guy....dont care!!

Well got home at 7.45am, extensive damage done but the scrots didn't get in. They came back for a second attempt at 4.25 but i shouted and screemed with a baseball bat so the 3 of them legged it. Old bill know who it is as do i now so if they want to play we'll play. Red bull is kicking in had no sleep till brooklyn and ready to crack skulls.

Nozzer,

That's Savage mate!! I hope your ok ? Can't believe the *******s came back!! How come the Police weren't around to catch them on the second attempt ? I would have thought they be up for that. You'd have thought that they'd leave an unmarked car around the area waiting for them

Mouse might not be around for a bit, as he's off to collect his RB5 this morning. Do you want his mobile number ?

Sorry to hear of this, glad you were there to chase 'em off. But isn't protecting your property the responsibility of the police? maybe not...

If you're built like the Nozzer off scrapheap challenge, they'd have poo'd 'emselves - could be messy

Not sure the size of nozzer but im nearly as wide as i am tall so was well up for it. As far as the police go, they were so understaffed last night, they had 3 cars to cover the centre of bristol so it was not there fault, they told me to use mr b/bat if needed as long as they didnt see me use it if you know what i mean, soory imight be babbling, red bull set in

Three cars to cover the centre of Bristol Shame there wasn't a car meet, or a pararde, they would have had loads more if there was. And video equipment

Ian,

Is it your own shop ? It must be, otherwise why would you risk your own life, they could have driven past with a petrol bomb

Anway, they're scum. Cheers Phill C

Yes Ian that was certainly a bad break and the cheek of the sods to come back later to finish the job. A Big Bertha between the eyes would be a good start but the important thing is you're safe and there to see your daughter off to her first day at school.

Cheers
