stopped there last night got up early walked for a coffee 2 lads in the back of a trailer.so as i walk past 1 with his dog runs off so i goes to the garage and tells them to ring the coppers.so they do the van goes no sign of the police.i wake the driver up and tell him i inform him the coppers are on there way i checked the back they had cut the padlock broke the seal but they had shut the doors again twisted the padlock back so it looked like it was closed and tuck the seal in.anyway before everyone says about right for the police i drive onto the m1 at 4am to stationary traffic so i know why they were not there by the time i set off.so if you do have to park there dont park near the trees that back on to the garage and car park hope this helps thats
Just don’t park in Toddington, It’s not far from a very poor area so not suprising really.
gathered that
the van wasnt the best for robbing it had had graffiti all down one side in black spray paint
When i was on maritime there was one of our drivers parked up at toddington and about 2am there was a knock on his door and some cheeky barsteward asked the driver if he would give him the key to his container lock The driver rang the police and the would be thief scarpered
and it was another place john williams banned us from
thats is funny as ■■■■ cheeky twot

If you seen in the dead of night that the van had graffiti down it surely you caught the number plate?

Yeah, the list of parking areas was getting smaller by the day…
I’d have given him the key and still reported it to the police, don’t pay enough to get your head kicked in.
When my house got broke into i wanted to kick there heads in it is a normal reaction to a violation of your home
we were asleep upstairs and did not hear a thing
Nothing was taken as they bumped into our cat and i think they must have thought she was a tiger as she went mad and run up the walls and hissed at them
i love that cat
i spoil her now
I understand that, and luckily have never had to put it to the test, but I’m pretty sure in a works vehicle, I’d just hand over the stuff / goods as long as they didn’t try to take anything that was mine.
Usually more than 1 bad guy vs a driver clad in his boxer shorts / pj’s or whatever you wear to bed… Scary as you might appear at 1st, you’re still on a loser…
Trust me, 15 people enter my house uninvited, they’re gonna get a fight, but works stuff, they’re welcome to, I’m not a security guard for 20 odd quid at the end of a 15hr shift.

Exactly. Call the old bill and you’ve done as much as can be expected.
i know mate when i was on the cigs the bloke said ■■■■ the fload we can replace them we cant replace you which i thought was nice
I know what you are all saying and you are right i used to do a lot of high value loads and i was also told to let them have it and to put meself 1st
i was also told not to stop for anyone including the police incase they were bogus
me as well the majority of trucks nicked were bogus coppers
