I have mentioned on here before about the people who used to own a local taxi firm doing all sorts of damage to vehicles etc. A few months ago they "took over" the garage next door to the unit where we did work on our cars. Because of this we decided to hand notice in on the unit and that notice expires on Saturday.
My son went down to the unit at 16.05 this afternoon to find that someone had tried to gain entry to the unit by trying to smash the padlock off. They failed. I have just come off the phone to a mate of mine who has been keeping his sports cars in the unit and he tells me that he was at the unit this afternoon and all was well. He left at 14.30. This unit is on an isolated farm so I wonder who could have tried this in the 90 minute time slot?

I think they would beat me up and eat the dog or the other way round. :D

better still smartwater and phone the police once they have tried it again. I wonder how easy it will be to keep their licence if convicted of an attempted break in

They don't run the taxis anymore although they do still own 2 of the cars run by the person who now owns the business.
