Unfortunately those who are critical here (either of my response) or to the current L/F Property attitude by the current staff at all police forces – do you have ANY idea of the amount of L/F Property that ends up with the police? I suspect not. In a small station you can have >200 items – these need to be sorted, checked for ownership details, entered onto L/F Property Books (in my time – may be computerised now). Any found ‘monies’ need to be accounted for, submitted through banking procedures etc. etc., valuable ‘non-cash’ items need to be stored securely etc. etc., perishable goods …. ?? It is actually endless and VERY VERY time consuming. Then each and every item needed to be by physically checked each and every month ……. need it go on?
Why should the police be responsible, free of charge, for your lost property or to retain property you may have lost but can’t even be bothered to check to see if it has been handed in? Other organisations charge a fee for this service AND people complain!
Times have changed and in some ways, not all, the police force is not as it was – 20% cuts, PCSOs et al have added to their woes, in so many cases these days you can’t even get a reply at your local nick! What is very strange about ‘policing’ is that today you do your last days as a 30yr copper, tomorrow you are plain Mr Jones and regarded by the force as a ‘pariah’ and even the most basic ‘privileges’ you had on your last day are no longer there – they seem to waste a great deal of expertise by doing this.
I for one would have been OVERJOYED if F/L Property had been taken away from the police 30 years ago. You have no idea the work, hassle and sheer volume that did come in.

Not wishing to be too callous in this matter – if the owner can’t be bothered to ensure that his CCs/DCs are safely with him at all times – then let him / her wait the 7 days to get another one.
After 30 years in the police and having to deal with lost and found property I have no sympathy for very many people who don’t even check that they have their own property with them. Unfortunately these days it is a simple matter of ‘I don’t care, the bank will give me another and refund me if it is used fraudulently’.
I think my own actions would have been to recover it, tell the bank (possibly??) and then simply cut it to pieces and bin it.

John STAY bored until you get the OK to active duty as and when the doctors tell you. Anything I can do for you?
Hope you get back to normal soon.

Hi John,
My elderly mother has the carpet gripper things – totally B useless – save your cash for rubber matting.

JB “…I have finally seen the slug (dead I think) it is now in the bin wrapped in a bread wrapper and tied….”

Bob – could it be a case of the ‘King’s new clothes?’

Unfortunately as an ex-copper the idea of photographing / videoing the items is a good one, but unfortunately what you showed in any of the above is not what you put in the box to me – you swapped it afterwards and sent me the broken / duff etc. etc one.

Is what they’re doing any different to the post office – if I want to send a letter to a person in the same town where I live, post, collect – trip to Chester – sorted, trip back to North Wales to my local sorting office and then delivery.

D_Dan – I appreciate that it’s a buyer but a friend of mine used to sell quite a lot on Ebay and he would find that many buyers reported that on receipt the items were either damaged / missing bits / not as advertised etc. etc. just so they didn’t have to pay as PP would refund them almost immediately if they put in a complaint – I would add that these were ‘international’ buyers. In the end he refused to sell outside the UK.

Been caught out a few times on Ebay with sellers with many +ve ratings – many are still crooks out to get you. How do they get these rave reviews I ask?

I think the price that I quote was for a complete new door assembly – there was also something about ‘repaired doors’ liable to explode / shatter as well. HSA gets its foot in the door again!!

When I had a look at the model, a new door was about £160!

Is it anything like this one?
The price is absolutely ridiculous though.
Just realise that it is the outer door in your case – sorry about that.

John – any chance you could photo the DIY bracket so we can see what it looks like. Normally the inner glass oven door fits into a recess in the rear of the door and then two short pieces of metal are screwed into the door frame to keep it in place. I think the ones on our cooker are about an 1″ long and have a hole in one end to take the mounting screw.

Thank you one and all, I was aware of the removal of certain ‘nasties’ which later allowed the paint to fade – apparently a EU/HSA action I believe.
Satinwood it might have to be then!
Thanks, Dave

Whilst there are many in-car distractions at least hands free at the moment is legal but don’t try to send texts. The idiots that REALLY irk me are those, mainly youngster, who must either have their boom boxes at 150dB or failing that have their ears clogged up with two little wires leading to cotton bugs in their ears. Similarly cyclist who use headphones when cycling. This is something I would happily vote to make illegal in the interests of road safety.

Thanks one and all for the inputs. Sometime ago I was able to download a German version of WMV which now seems to work as I want it to. Thank you all, Dave

Wasbit
Thanks for the Windows Movie Maker link but trying either the UK / USA language version I get:
C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Temp\QqsIvkT4.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
I’ll keep trying – PS I’m on W7 Ultimate if that makes any difference.

John, I have just asked a builder who is doing some work on our house, he’s seen the photo and says it is a ‘gable’. Hope that helps?
