I think this thread safely shows the users who are the 'borrowers' on their yards ;) my guess all those saying 'no harm done', 'what a load of drama queens' obviously don't see anything wrong with helping themselves to other people's property :D

I'm also snorting at Delicious_D's very clever joke about borrowing Slightly Foxed's high horse (I got it DD even if others didn't :D)

Remember Slightly Foxed don't tax that little mind of yours too much....breathe in...then

Have you read my original post??

Of cause it wont my dear because you know nothing about Pontiac apart from its a car to get you to a or b I bet you drive a put put nothing bigger than a 1 ltr :D.

Some people are in impressed with a big American car with a TV theme to it. This is not the time or the place to impress people hence why I go to the places where it does and the forums with like minded owners.

Sorry Op digressing . the overall opinion is you do not take without asking and you do not drive without insurance period!

you total edjut!!!:rolleyes:! i dont care what you think its an example I used. whether you drive a classic car or an old banger if you don't want anyone else to drive you do not insure anyone too.

What part of I wasn't trying to impress anyone is hard for you to understand???

If you drive a £65.000...or a £500 truck using it without owners consent is not on.
is that better for you or will you accuse me of being up myself for having a horsebox now??

Smack wrists for saying I have a horsebox!!!!

duhhhhhhhhhh and what makes you think i have one?? are you that gullible???:rolleyes:

Believe anything you read??? Dear this is not the forum to impress anyone with cars - trucks- bikes.


The fact is we *the*majority think this should have been reported. Any example we use to put this point across is hardly a cause for thinking we are trying to impress, merely a member giving other examples of insuring a vehicle YES vehicle of what every type for owner drive only.

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.

Ditto this!!!

Yes appreciate you don't want to cause a stink on the yard, but what these people did wasn't just foolish/irresponsible, it was actually illegal. They were firstly driving without insurance - so if something HAD happened, you'd have had diddly squat in come-back; and secondly were driving without the owners' consent, which is actually an offence under the law.

Don't think you should sit down under this one!

Sorry haven't read all the other replies; BUT as is normal on here it looks like this is getting snipey/personal. Ah well, wots new? :)
But then again, YO shouldn't have given them the keys on just their say-so TBH; so IF there is a reason for YO to have the key of your lorry - which OK is sensible as it might need to be moved for whatever reason - then now would be the time to give YO a signed and dated letter saying that on no account whatsoever, and in no circumstances, is your lorry to be used by anyone other than yourself.

I'd be incandescent/vapourised about this; its just not on.

That is your opinion !!!! I wont say what you sound like!!!


I understand there are many people who a classic car or expensive car does nothing for them.


Now this is not the place to continue talking cars. I don't need to get approval about my car on this forum as already said.



I am not continuing this silly conversation. Back to the matter in hand . OP's horsebox taken without her permision

On an ancillary note,not positive but don't think you can get 'no win,no fee' arrangements for small claims. Also,Aaaladin,I agree.

Yes your right I just checked my last lot of paperwork from Small Claims.

OP I am glad you have it sorted the way your happy with your in the situation with your yard.

It might not be the way some of us would have done it but that is us. You have sorted it how your happy with, that is what matters.

Good idea the key safe. this should not happen again at least.

No its not - its a comment that I made to your comment about pontiac's as not impressive, it was a way of saying - you obviously know nothing about them or are not into cars in the way people who have classics are. Or you would not have made this comment.

I never mentioned anything about your pontiac. I think you're confusing me with somebody else...but just for the record, it doesn't impress me at all ;)

And my dad is a classical car enthusiast, so yeh :rolleyes:

yes you are right;) sorry.

Its fair enough lots of people don't care for sports/ classic/ tv cars.

Chaqun a son goute as they say ;)
 
Both my parents vehicles are insured fully comp for anyone over 25 with the correct license and the owners permission. My old lorry was too. Once you try to put more than 3 named drivers on it often ends up cheaper anyway! We live in the middle of nowhere, if there were to be a shooting/farming accident then it may well be necessary for anyone to drive any of them, it's really not odd :rolleyes: In this case, yes the insurance would have been invalid as the driver didn't have the owner's permission but it doesn't require anyone to have their own policy and it does provide fully comp insurance.

Well done OP, it sounds like you've got your point across without a big fall out :)

For health and work reasons I feel I need a car, but because I care about the environment I have one of the above and use it as little as possible.

Sorry, but I hate people sneering at small cars while swanning around in gas-guzzling big ones poisoning the planet for the sake of their own egos.

I apologize if I misunderstood and you don't fall into that category, but the above comments do give that impression.
 
Well this thread has really brightened my rather dull Sunday evening

Thank you all sooooo much:D

To summarise

OP has sorted the issue out, her way.

Poor slightly Foxed - dared to speak out against the rest with a different view, and is now branded a plonker

lethian - made the mistake of mentioning she had a half decent car - how very dare you

Quite a few people on here have anger issues, although not sure how many would actually do what they suggested. I mean , hitting people with shovels , really !!:rolleyes:


Anyway, thank you, its been great !!
 
From an actual police officer:

It's a whole bag of ***** to prosecute. It would take 6 months to get to court while the OP has this hanging over her at a yard she loves. She'd need a statement from whoever handed over the keys and the lines appear to be somewhat blurred here (genuine error on YO family member's part?). The police would take this seriously, as someone already mentioned. It would be 6 points on the licence of both guilty parties plus a £200 fine and of course a criminal record. It would be a great deal of work/funding to get to court and the Case Director may dismiss it and it may never get to Court. Of course, it may and serve the silly women right (I said that, not the police officer!) As long as the OP has taken steps to rectify leaving the keys available, she has done what sits well with her.

It's outrageous what they did, but it was up to the OP to decide what she wanted to do.

Chacun à son goût.

How did this thread turn into who has a muscle car and who has a little run around?! Relevance?

I think the OP has dealt with the situation rather well,
The miscreants have apologised and offered redress.
The OP has not had to move yards.
The YO now knows to only use the lorry keys for agreed purposes.

Strong words, but no shovel wielding.:cool:

Had meeting.... Bit of shouting, few tears, appears lady one thought lady two had asked me and visa versa, another member of YO family had handed over key and not realised, they thought I was there too. I listed all the ramifications that could have happened, they have offered to pay part of service it's going for this week. And I've had flowers and wine from them. All parties very sorry and contrite, it will never happen again. I have bought a key safe. For spare lorry key, and have screwed it onto wall in common room. I have to leave a key there cos I am not always there when my mate who shares lorry, needs it. So key safe seems ok. It has all been a terrible screw up. I was firm, and was quite surprised that writing down concerns really helped me not wimp out.. I know lots of people think I should rip heads off, call police ect, but I've kept calm and firm. Message was put across plain and clear. So I wish to draw line under it now
Thank you for all your comments and advice and those who sent PM thanks a lot, .

I had to double take earlier on the mentions of TWOC....in the nursing world it means Trial With Out Catheter....I was wondering what incontinent ladies had to do with a horsebox! :o

Glad you've got it somewhat sorted, OP, you're a more patient/tolerant lady than I am! :)
