I work for an engineering company and one of the engineers has just been outside to put something into our skip and guess what......
the bloody skip has been stolen!!!!
Im guessing it was people after scrap metal, but best of it is, it was fully of just rubbish, no metal at all.
Its depressing the fact that you cant even have somewhere to keep rubbish anymore without it worrying about it being nicked!
Anyway have a good day everyone

Are you sure the skip company hasn't emptied it to return it.

I'm pretty sure someone would have noticed if a bunch of pikey minks stole it, i would suggest phoning the vendor the skip was hired from

Yip, the skip will be worth a few bob and in a time when most trampy thieves won't have a few bob that's a lot.

If people are stealing war memorials and statues to weigh them in for scrap, then i'm sure people will steal skips to do the same...
