Other liveries "borrowed" my lorry. Bit annoyed !

I've read the thread but not replied before now......but Slightly Foxed you are a grade 1 idiot, you really are.

No harm done.... over reaction by members wanting to call the police....really it's surprising people like Slightly Foxed have got the intelligence to remember to breathe :D

Well by the same token Slightly Foxed, nothing should've been done about MP's fiddling their expenses.....I mean there was no harm done.
Shall I come & take your car for a jolly for 6 hours? I'll return it but I won't tell you at the time. You won't mind surely?

What a pillock
 
There you are, they couldn't get hold of you.

Ok, they should not have done it, but, come on, it's not the end of the world, just have a little word to say you're not that happy about the situation and then carry on as normal. No one died!

Sorry but they should not have done it.
Deliberately taking a vehicle without the owners consent is inexcusable unless a matter of life or death and then it should be followed by effusive thanks.

I agree the police should be informed.
 
Methinks SF is purely here to 'stir the pot' as it were and create an emotive response...

Ignoring from now on works well. :D

think your right or maybe they are one of the ladies concerned. Maybe also they think stealing or taking something just because they could not get hold of the owner is ok.

Maybe its ok to take someones horse on a 25 mile ride without the owner knowing, doesn't matter if horse comes back lame or injured I will just say I could not get hold of the owner. :rolleyes:

SF your obviously one who does not care or think its a big issue for someone to
  • take a lorry without owners ok
  • driving without insurance
  • driving a vehicle you have never driven
  • driving a lorry with a horse in the back
  • using someone else s fuel
  • using and putting other road users at risk
  • driving and possibly damaging the vehicle while its driven without owners clearance.
Slightly foxed

Maybe all the above is ok to you., you have obviously not got your own transport or I will ask Romany to come take yours out for a 6 hour drive without you knowing see how you like it.
 
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, .
 
not yet , we have heard nothing. If it were my lorry there would be blood strune across the windscreen if i saw them walking in front of me next time i drove. I work my ass off to support my lorry as do everyone else here who has a lorry or trailer.

So what right does a nobody have to drive it. If they cannot get hold of you Romany that should have ended there and they should have hired one from a pro to do it .

Its no different if you saw a liveries keys in the tack room you have NO RIGHT to drive or use the keys unless you have notified the insurance company.

When i went away a few years ago and my mate stayed here to yard sit. We added her to our insurance so all legal.

She had access to all the other keys lorry= pontiac ferrari and my other car and the BMW. She would never use the keys . So what right would a stranger have eh??? NONE!
 
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 ????

Jeeze too! But I can't believe that I'm reading a post like that on touchy-feelt HHO! It's cetainly the way I feel but I usually say it in code - such as having a quiet word round the back of the muck heap because I can be tactful....... wanna borrow my digger for the hole?

There was me thinking that the "borrowing" would concern a favourite grooming brush!

Just wanted to say well done - it sounds as though you handled it really well. You still have to live with these people, so I think this was a sensible approach and I'm so glad you can draw a line now :)
 
I still don't buy the whole 'I thought she'd asked you story' as surley they would have thanked you for lending it to them once you were back :rolleyes:

Anyway, glad you've sorted it OP :)

Hmmmmm Id have them PAYING the service but there you go. Was YO in attendance?? Shame YOUR having to fork out fr a service AND a keysafe but up to you personally. I wouldnt be paying a penny for the service OR any parts that were required but there you go.

If your happy with the result then alls well.
