Huh

[kaliha]

When our Washing Machine died we stuck it outside the back gate so it was out of the way until we could dispose of it. It's been there for about two weeks or so now (mainly because I'm NOT paying the Council £15 for the privilege of taking it away for me. What the hell am I paying my Council Tax for?)

Come home from work tonight and it's GONE!

Someone has stolen our broken washing machine. I hope they don't try to use it else they're going to get a very damp surprise.

Maybe they want it for some sort of art piece? It will be part of an installment using broken refrigerators and freezers and other household items and appliances?

It's a good possibility. I'll have to keep an eye out for local gallery exhibitions.

What are scrap metal values like at the moment? ;-)

Not that good round here. I did ring the scrapper to see if they'd take it and they weren't interested.

haha, i love it when this happens.

stuff that have been taken from my parent's garden whilst we've been motivating ourselves to phone the council....

A whole 3-piece suite? That's impressive.

Someone might be one of those 'refurbished old appliances' people and have taken off with it to fix it up - or take out its bits to cobble another broken one together =)

Well they've had to completely replace the inner and outer drums as both of them were damaged beyond repair. That's why we bought a new one as it was cheaper than buying the parts.

I assume that is a rhetorical question and you don't actually want the answer...

Glad it's gone for you though.

having discovered out council leader is on at least £100,000 a year I can guess where my council tax is going.

*laughs* I can't even begin to imagine what kind of person would think 'Let's steal that heavy thing right NOW'! ... maybe he'll sell the metal somewhere?

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

The thief would have done their back in. It was bloody heavy. I remember from struggling to get it into the house 3 years ago.

[owl]

That's awesome!

I LOL'd when I discovered it.
