shooting at them usually works :badgrin:fighting0002.gif

iirc they must have a waste carriers license and be insured for business use when you see them report them!

if they are not legit they shouldn't be collecting scrap from peoples homes.

my mate has had 2 engines stolen from his yard couple of days after pikeys came looking for scrap and the police are useless even with cctv

its not just me gets pissed off then

My mate bought a transit and just drives around looking for metal and he makes roughly £150 a day from it.

No licenses or business insurance... complete and utter knockoff. lol

But yes, the horns are proper annoying!

pikeys are theving c@nts were ever they are

^^^ very true. I watched a pokey rummage through someones trailer looking for scrap. My mate always gets them trying to steal stuff with all the junk he has on his front yard. I'd report em for theft as saying they're unlicensed waste carriers and the police won't do shit as usual :(

just make sure you dispose of the body(s) properly, shallow graves dont work lol

wood-chipper ftw :badgrin:

You're lucky that they come shouting. Ours sneak about and rob stuff. Had some roofbars and a sub box and a sink out of my shed. Confronted (ie really had a go at him) one of them the other day as he began to open my shed and he looked a bit sheepish and said "Well, it's open".

The price of scraps taken a dive, so you'll get a few less now.

I hope you bloody battered him for tresspassing? I know i would!

Be careful. I've seen Snatch. Pikeys are good at revenge, apparently.

They're not if you torch their caravans! :lol:

He made off pretty quickly after our 'conversation'

I live in a quiet cul-de-sac, at least 50% of the people in the street are OAP's and the street is used for parking by parents as their is a tiny alleyway at the end that comes out right at the entrance of the primary school..

We literally get anywhere from 5-12 scrap men a day, as early as 8am, when the moms have filled the street up with cars...

They never get any scrap iron, no-one has any! Yet every day its the same old "anyy ollld scrap irryaaannnn"

I fucking hate them.

One came down my road a couple of days ago with a mega phone taped to the roof 'any scrap metal'.

i had my wellers sat outside my house the other week(refurbing them) and some feckin foriegner and his flat bed try to do one with them. went f in mad i tell you. the robbin twats. they also tried to take ma rents steel drain down pipe as it was down. there just cheeky feckers

And the worst is when they rob the drain covers! Fooking dangerous that is...
