Can I just say....
My brother read this last night, and he was quite shocked, he told me about his mate, whos horrible neighbour in his 70s kept leaving his wheelie bin, just enough over my brothers driveway that he had to move it every time he came home, to get his car in, despite asking this guy several times to not to do it ...anyway other night he was tired, worked a long shift, got home there was the wheelie bin part blocking his drive again, so he wheeled it halfway down the street and left it, ....i would do the same tbh......
Next thing the police are knocking on his door saying his neighbour had put a complaint in about him moving the wheelie bin....that he has cancer and will struggle to go and bring it back...and he was totally made out to be the bad guy, and literally got a bollocking.
Thing is the neighbour doesn't have cancer he just said he did.....the police aren't going to check its a trivial complaint ...played the pity card ......can you believe that, seems having 'cancer ' being ill, can get you special treatment, nobody believes you would lie, and my brothers friend was made to look the bad one ... needless to say, this is not the end of the wheelie bin saga, and this guy will be more discreet next time, I believe it might be going on a flatback truck for a day out somewhere and staying for a holiday......
So getting to the point, my brother cannot understand how they have gotten away with all the above, and yet the police pulled his friend over a wheelie bin ......its quite shocking really...... is this a failure in the Police system or just a sign of the times.....you can guarantee if i tried scamming people the police would be on my doorstep in a week......
