This is why your deliveries get delayed

My gate was open because I was expecting a visitor. A large white van pulled in, the driver gets out, peers round, gets back in, drives off down the street and out of sight. Five minutes later he comes back, turns round again on my drive, goes down to the layby, turns round again, comes back up the road. I step into the road and hail him. His window winds down, I ask what he's doing. Looking for No 50 he says. I tell him where No 50 is, wondering why he hasn't seen the number, because he's driven past at least twice. He says he can't be bothered now, and drives off in the other direction.

Lucky he didn't say 'You can complain about me of you want but it will make no difference' as I was told.

So white van man indeed exists then, and the rumours of his two short planks intellect is intact. Brian

He could be of course a deliberate decoy to see who is about with a plausible story, seeing as you are about no point in letting the lads know with their breaking in tools so off to pull the same ruse somewhere else. Brian

I'd have noted the registration of the vehicle its make, model, colour. A description of the driver then rung the Police and posted details to the local FB group(s). Behaviour like that around here means only one thing: Some one looking out for what ever they can steal...
