How could this happen....

[trt]

without anybody seeing it?

This is my local supermarket and the car park faces the petrol station which is open 24 hours and the the wagon nicking the trolleys would have had to pass through.

This is not the first time, a few months ago about 50 were pinched!

Why steal 200 trolleys? Scrap value? Can't think of any other reason.

[mrs.chappie]

Ron, sorry to go off topic.....can I ask how you're getting on with the wee pup?

[Cowtipper]

That's some crazy bag lady.

[mrs.chappie]

Hey, don't talk about me like that. :o(

[Cowtipper]

Hahahaha. Just luck of the post order Mrs. C. I have a lot more vivid image of you now though.

[mrs.chappie]

Elvis,

Your dead on,

Just remembered!!!!!! there was a funfair on spare land across the road for the Easter bank holiday.

[mrs.chappie]

Ron, is that wee pup still playing up?

[trt]

Shes fine mrs.chappie thanks, I love her but shes a pain in the butt at times.

Bought her a a collar and lead a few days ago, the collar is no prob but she hates the lead.
I have no probs with her going to sleep at night in her bed in the kitchen and she never barks or makes a noise.

She does tend to dig holes in my lawn and tries to hide her toys in them etc, and is always barking at the birds and planes going by.

But she is very sweet and licks my ears out every night :-)

[mrs.chappie]

Aw, that's nice Ron (I think). :o)

I remember you posting about her digging the garden up.

[trt]

I dont mean the ear wax mrschappie just the outsides of my ears :-)

nightie night.

Steal them for scrap value ??

No ... they probably want to use them for trolley racing.

The Police should look for someone who lives on a road on a hill.

if they get nicked for scrap value and that seems to be the only option what do they do with the wheels [ no rude answers please !]

I was in our local Dunelm store a few months ago - no trolleys anywhere - I asked at the cash desk and they said they had been stolen - apparently its because they fetch good price for the metal.

Nobody seems interested in the discarded ones by the side of the road, they like the ones that are locked up. The thrill of the chase and all that, I suppose.
