We had a shed and a steel shelving unit delivered this morning at 6.30 - for some reason the driver thought it was safe to leave them in our front garden on lordship lane (opposite ish the police station by the pedestrian crossing). Sometime between 6.30am and 8am some horrible person came and nicked the shelves. The reason for this thread is to moan and also check to see if anyone saw anyone carrying away my shelves?
I think you may have a case against the delivery company. If nobody signed for them and they just left them there it could well be their negligence. If they neglected to ring bell/get someone to sign, maybe they neglected to deliver them at all/left them at wrong address.
Thanks Huggers. I rang the driver this morning when we found the sorry you weren't in card with his number on and he says he definitely delivered them and tried our bell twice but I'm sure we would have heard it. I just got off the phone from the company we ordered them from and luckily they are sending us a replacement so that's good. I'm just a bit peeved off because we've lived here less than a year and had this theft, a few bags of cement and sand stolen from our back garden last year and an attempted burglary (he was caught and charged though) so we're feeling slightly unlucky today and I know they're only thefts so not the end of the world. These things come in threes supposedly so hopefully that's the last theft we'll have!

Do not leave anything made from any metal out side.


I was replacing the kitchen sink and left it out to take it out to the refuse the next morning, which I then found that I did not need to go anymore.


Metal is good money, I have started to take all my scrap metal from various jobs around the house to the metal scrap place in Nunhead. Bought our place in auction so was left with various bits and bobs that I cashed in, which paid for a full clean at the hand car wash!

There are a couple of open backed lorries which go around the area collecting any scrap metal. My old tumble dryer went that way and my poor bike, which was just put out to keep it out of the way. Old microwave were taken a few weeks ago too, I knew it would be that's why I didn't call the Council to collect it.

As someone said, metal is like gold these days.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
