To the person who stole my window?can I have it back please?!

?

I recently had a glazed timber window frame taken/stolen from the front of my house on Underhill Road.? This was left for me by my local carpenter out the front of my house. He is now in his 70s and has lived on Underhill for the majority of his life so probably wasn?t expecting it to be stolen from his long experience of the area. This may sound a bit na?ve, as the taker may have innocently thought it was destined for the tip, but it was up by the front door in my porch rather than at the end of the drive by the rubbish/road. It also had a clear note on it, implying that it was not rubbish and to be taken.

?

This has left me with an awkward situation with my carpenter as I didn?t ask him to leave it unmanned at the front of my house.? If anyone has taken this, please can they? let me know, I understand if you thought it was up for grabs?but it wasn?t!!? besides it is a bespoke size and I doubt anyone else will find a good use for it.


Thanks for reading.

That's awful. It seems as if various people think anything not screwed down is fair game at the moment.


Have you reported it to the police? I believe that if it's on private property, even if out in the open, it's still technically theft. If you see something in someone's front garden, you're supposed to ring the doorbell and ask permission to remove it. I know we've had people do that before.


Hope you track it down.

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
