The video kind of says it all...

Hi. 
 Yes, I still have this cold. It's come 
 back. Don't ask. 
 But I've had a weird weekend. 
 It started with early hours of Saturday 
 morning where two jobs decided to take 
 concrete slabs off the wall outside my 
 house and dump them on the A40. 
 uh police did attend and the good news 
 is having given them all the CCTV is 
 apparently they actually have suspects 
 which is great. So we'll see how that 
 goes. It's not the first time we've had 
 this before but we suspect it's the same 
 people as before. 
 So that's going to be interesting to see 
 how it pans out. 
 But then later on Saturday we had 
 something a little bit unexpected. 
 A guy walking his dog decides to take 
 the Christmas wreaths off our gate. Now, 
 to be fair, we've been meaning to take 
 them off for a while, but we haven't got 
 around to it. 
 And he dumps them behind the gate, and 
 the result is they get run over. 
 Basically, uh my one of my kids came up 
 to the gate, open the gate, can't see 
 the wreaths because they're right up by 
 the gate. It's under the under their 
 bonnet, and drive over them, smashing 
 blessings. 
 We're kind of hoping we can kind of 
 recover them now. Replace some Bbles, 
 check the lights work and things, but 
 they're probably about 50 quid each. 
 Quite large Christmas wreaths. So, not 
 funny. 
 So, I put a poster up on the gate 
 basically who does this and and a Grinch 
 image and some pictures. 
 Well, guy with his dog comes back. He's 
 obviously not amused. 
 And you know, I was half expecting him 
 to just like rip the poster off as he 
 went past or something like that, but 
 no, you won't believe this. 
 He seems to have planned a midnight 
 raid. Okay, half past midnight. 
 He's got a woolly hat, different coats, 
 hand over his face, and 
 he sort of creeps down Belmont Road, 
 comes around the corner, grabs the 
 posters off the fence, sort of half 
 hides behind a a pole at one point, and 
 then scurryies back up Belmont Road, 
 sort of ducking under the under the 
 wall. And yeah, I 
 it sounds crazy. I have the video. see 
 this. Uh, I think it's fairly sensible 
 because I've, you know, I can't identify 
 who's in the video. I'm not sure anyone 
 else can. That's the whole point of him 
 covering his face. So, I think I'm I'm 
 quite legit in publishing this. 
 So, yeah. Well, 
 I have the weirdest neighbors, but I 
 mean, 10 out of 10 for entertainment. 
 Who'd have expected him to plan a 
 midnight raid to take a poster off my 
 gate? I mean, that's just Well, wow. 
 Wow.
