To the black lady with very long hair wearing a white coat with a shoulder bag grey jogging bottoms who passed my house at 10:22 this morning kindly return the blue micro scooter with lots of elastic bands on it which you took from just outside my front gate.


My child left it there by mistake, it was not left there as a giveaway so please bring it back to where you found it. Pm me if you'd like me to collect it. There is hd CCTV of the event.


Thanks!

In all fairness, I agree with both Alice and Abdabs.


Further, I'm a bit surprised by your implicit threat towards the woman who took it... not sure what you plan on doing with the high definition recording?


There is a common theme of leaving things outside your house that you want collected and fair-doos to the woman.


Insulting Alice has probably lost you any goodwill that might have come your way.

People who leave things outside their house would normally place a note on it like [PLEASE TAKE FREE]


If there is no note and someone takes it, it is technically Theft.


Simples.


Taking things from a skip without permission is also technically theft.

We often leave stuff with no note as do many other people. Hardly theft.

You leave your car outside your house and someone takes it , it is theft.


You leave your bike outside your house and someone takes it , it is theft.


You your child leaves their micro scooter outside your house and someone takes it , it is theft.


No argument.

Take it back alice. You may not be a moron but your comment is moronic and unhelpful. Should I explain your logic to the 4 year old that left it there?

For starters I'll post a copy here and people can make their own minds up.

If you happen to know this lady and she believes the scooter was left outside as a giveaway, please ask her to give it back or contact me via pm.


('in fairness' I always leave a note with stuff that people are welcome to take)

There is a bit of a difference between some books, an old microwave, plates and so on and a car? People do leave things to be taken often with no note.

Ok that looks like theft, I would have knocked on the door to ask.

Well I think that?s theft. Not as bad as the lady that put the cat in the wheelie bin but stealing a treasured, loved scooter from a poor defenceless child is poor form. I am going to start a justgiving page to get a new one. I can only hope she didn?t nick it for herself as she was quite a unit and it will probably be a bit curved if she does bring it back.

Your user name is completely unacceptable

That?s my real name. I was christened PikeyThievingratbag when a gipsy ran through the church during my christening and stole my saint Christopher just as the vicar was naming me. My sister is called ?oopsdidntmeantosmashyourheadonthefont? but my parents used a different vicar for my brother who is called Wayne.
Stealing is forbidden by one of the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt not have a silly username was considered but the effort involved in chiselling it into another tablet of stone was prohibitive and thus the eleventh commandments was dropped. Thou shalt not steal stayed in, however. As did something about coveting.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
