Went on holiday for 2 weeks. Got home to find out , by chance I might say, that two other liveries told yard owner they had permission to use my lorry to go 6 hour round trip to collect a horse. !!! I was very upset to think what may have happened, as its only me and yo and my mate who use it for pony club and hunting.
Was just having conversation about where all fuel goes to and it all came out bout this jolly in my lorry... I don't really know how to approach the lady when I see her, I am one for a quiet life, and don't fuss at all, but this was out of order. I have spoke to YO and she assumed they had spoke to me themselves or she would never have given them the key. YO very sorry about it, I may well have said yes if yO drove, but they drove themselves, and have never driven a lorry b4!!
What would you do? What should I say, ? Can't bear to cause bad feeling on the yard.
It would not have taken much to phone me and ask, yes I was 3000 miles away but it's not really on is it.
 
OMG I would have been furious! Never mind not causing any bad feeling, THEY have done that, not you! I'd either want them kicked off, or I'd move myself, how can you ever trust them again??
 
I would smack her with a snow shovel, drag her round the yard by the scruff of her neck and make her tell everyone we meet that she is a lying, scheaming cow who has taken advantage and cannot be trusted.

I would give her a bill for the diesel and a days lorry hire, I would also remove the key from the YO, oh and she would be paying for me to take lorry to a mechanic and body shop of my choice for a check over and rectification of anything at her expense.

Then I would hit her with a snow shovel !

Jeeze - is she really still alive ????

HAHA this made me giggle! :D

Yes..i too would be rather..livid to say the least
 
You need to speak to them, they weren't insured to drive it. Thankfully nothing happened. They need to reimburse you for diesel & wear & tear ( going rate is about £1.50 per mile). If they don't agree to this, then I would threaten them with reporting them to the police. Taking a vehicle without the owner's permission and driving without valid insurance.
Next time don't leave the keys around.
 
I would be livid!!. Does it mean they borrowed it and used your fuel and didn't replace it??
They must pay for the fuel and explain what made them think they could use it.
Can the YO help you with the conversation as she was tricked into giving them the keys so she must be pretty cross with them too

What a cheek.
 
i would have gone absoloutly mental :eek: when i calmed down i would give them a hefty bill for fuel (at least £1 a mile) and be so mad that they wouldn't dare "borrow" it again

i'd also threaten to make a call to the police as that is theft when they do not have owner consent to drive it , keeping the peace is one thing but don't let people get away with taking the complete and utter pittle out of you :(

GGGGRRRRR - so many options but jesus so sorry _ I am fuming for you!!!!!!

Option one - just confront them and go effing ape - rant and rave and make them feel like complete scratters which is what they are - horrid deceitful people. might make you feel better but could disturb tensions on yard - but why you would want to stay there - you poor thing

Number two - call the police and get them to take a visit on the yard to explain about driving without consent is called theft etc.....

Number Three - bill them for fuel, worn tyres, insurance, and general use and if they don't cough of they are confirming even more they are scum - maybestart to borrow their hay and shavings oh and saddle - or maybe the horse

what is up with some people????????

This is soooooo me! :D

Outrageous!

...I'd also report it to the police.....no insurance? I know the deed is done, by by god, pull out all the stops!
 
Holy $h!t :eek: :mad: id be spitting feathers and person would be getting pinned against a wall the next time I saw her!!! How DARE she!! If they had gotten stopped by the police or an accident had happened it would be you picking up the pieces or paying to get your lorry back :mad:

How did they think this wouldnt come out in conversation!!! :mad: :mad: I know you dont want to cause havok but if they think that little of you to do that to you Id say you need to get it straight in their heads that you wont take $h!t!! They obviously think that your soo meek that you wont say anything!!
 
I would definately say something. Thats outrageous! A bill for fuel if the tank is not full and a check over by a mechanic is the very least I would expect. Plus an enormous apology. And if they didn't agree to it I would tell them that you would be reporting the matter to the police.

Your YO should be saying something too. If I were her I would be giving a month's notice to someone who lied like that to her face - thats not the type of person I would want on my yard. They have put YO in an awkward position as well.

Seriously, I don't know how you get past something like that - its a major big deal, theft and fraud plus driving without insurance etc.
 
Agree with all the above plus it was totally illegal, taking without consent AND no insurance and does their licence cover them to drive your lorry?
I'd be fuming and get them kicked off the yard, if they are low enough to steal someone's lorry what else are they capable of?
Yes, get them to pay lorry hire and diesel too, get the lorry checked over if I were you.
 
How crafty is that!! They must of said to YO that you said they could use the lorry or why else would she have given them the key so I also think she should say some thing to them as a YO being lied to by a livery! I would deff be asking for payment for the fuel, obviously the cheap opition to take yours and not hire, but how would they think they would get away with taking a lorry all that way without filling it up as it must of needed filling up at some point on thier trip? Its bad to know they have never driven one before! I would be getting my keys off everyone who has one, really wouldnt of given a key to anyone full stop even if it is the YO as you wouldnt give someone like that a key to your house would you so I wouldnt give anyone a key for my box like that! x
 
I'd be speaking to the Police.... They were driving without permission or insurance cover. Totally illegal. Sod being polite about it..... :mad:
 
Oh gosh.. I am so worked up bout this, they are two nice ladies, I think they fuelled it, cos I never left much in the tank. And my insurance is anyone over 25. With permission of course.
Nothing like this has ever happend b4. I got impression from others at yard today that they were desperate to get this horse, and said they would phone me but I was in USA and didn't have phone on all days.. I am a whimp when confronting this sort of thing. I even delayed going to yard today till I knew the lady wasn't there... I can't go in all guns blazing.. Just want know why I wasn't asked, as I said yO was told I knew, but I saw her today and confirmed no one asked me at all.... I was jet lagged and I should have said something when I was told, but its several days now and it's been bugging me and stopping me sleeping, I am a worry bum anyway.. Yard owner real sorry she won't hand over keys again without speak to me first. I can't bear bad feeling on yard..

Well you're obviously just too nice then aren't you ;) haha

Perhaps write a letter if it would be easier for you? Less confrontation?
 
I'd go ape at them then call the police. Some one I know went to court for similar and got a fine and loads of points so would definatly be worth perusing.
 
Can't believe according to the title of the post you are only 'a bit annoyed' OP, I would be absolutely livid! :mad:

I, like you, also don't like confrontation but I would definitely have to say something. As everyone has said, this is theft! They have taken your lorry without your permission, had no insurance and lied to YO.

If I was the YO I would not want them on my yard any longer. Not after being lied to like that!

*******s to bad feeling - there is non confrontational and there is a doormat. Write a letter if you can't say anything, or go and cry in front of her, saying you can't believe she did it. She is scum, not a nice lady at all. Abnd get some money, come on girl!
